Affordable car with premium experience

Pons-Kia Sonet is one of my favorite cars as the exterior look and gives a Premium feeling while driving, performance is mind-blowing you can consider that your money is worth it spending on this car, I am damn sure you will not regret it at all. Here service is also great by staff member all are professional. Cons- Let's talk about the cons of long driving you might experience some noises that can make you uncomfortable while driving. Maintenance cost is pretty high.

Tata Punch i-CNG First Look

By Ninad Ambre25 Feb 2023

The Tata Punch is currently one of the best-selling models from the carmaker's portfolio. We believe a CNG-powered version would make its case stronger and guess what? It is coming soon. It will share its engine option with the Altroz. Likewise, it will be made available with a similar twin-cylinder kit in the boot. Our first impressions of the premium hatchback are out here, and we shall now delve into the details of the new Punch i-CNG. Before we begin, let us bring to your notice that the one displayed at the 2023 Auto Expo looked identical to the standard Punch. The only difference between the two in terms of looks was the ‘i-CNG’ badge on the boot.
