Maruti Suzuki Fronx vs Tata Punch: Transmission
Maruti Suzuki Fronx has two engine options available for purchase, including a 1.2 litre naturally aspirated petrol engine and a 1 litre turbo petrol engine. In comparison, the Tata Punch only offers a 1.2 litre naturally aspirated petrol engine. Additionally, Maruti Fronx provides three transmission options to choose from, including a 5-speed manual, a 5-speed AMT automatic, and a 6-speed torque converter automatic. In contrast, the Tata Punch only has two transmission options, which are a 5-speed manual and a 5-speed AMT automatic.
The Maruti Fronx also features mild hybrid technology in its 1-litre turbo engine, which includes Electric Torque Assist during Acceleration and Regenerative Braking. This feature helps improve fuel efficiency. Meanwhile, Tata Motors offers a special feature called Traction Pro mode in the AMT versions of the Punch, which comes in handy during off-road and tough-road situations where there is low traction on any of the front wheels.

Maruti Suzuki Fronx vs Tata Punch: Safety
The Tata Punch boasts an impressive 5-star safety rating from Global NCAP, making it one of the few cars in India to achieve this feat. It is worth noting that Punch not only scored high on adult protection but also achieved a commendable 4-star rating for child protection, making it an extremely safe choice for families.
In contrast, the Maruti Fronx is a relatively new product and has not undergone any crash tests yet. While it may be subjected to testing by Global NCAP in the future, it is currently difficult to assess its safety ratings. However, based on the Baleno's (Heartect) platform, Fronx does offer some active safety features such as an electronic stability program and hill hold assist, which the Tata Punch misses out on.
Maruti Suzuki Fronx vs Tata Punch: Price
The Tata Punch is priced in the range of ₹5.99 lakh to ₹9.46 lakh (ex-showroom), while the Maruti Fronx comes with a price tag ranging from ₹7.46 lakh to ₹13.13 lakh (ex-showroom).
