The new Maruti Swift is priced between ₹ 6.49 lakh and ₹ 9.64 lakh (ex-showroom) which is in the same ballpark as the Tata Punch (Rs 6.13 lakh to ₹ 10.20 lakh). One is a hatchback while the other is a micro-SUV but the pricing is quite similar. So, if you were eyeing a new car under ₹ 10 lakh, which one should be your pick?
| Aspects (in mm) | Length | Width | Height | Wheelbase | Boot Space | Ground Clearance |
| Maruti Suzuki Swift | 3860 | 1735 | 1520 | 2450 | 265 | 163 |
| Tata Punch | 3827 | 1742 | 1615 | 2445 | 366 | 187 |

| Engine | Power | Torque | Gearbox | Fuel Efficiency | |
| Maruti Suzuki Swift | 1.2-litre, 3-cylinder petrol | 81hp | 111.7Nm | 5 MT/AMT | 24.8 kmpl |
| Tata Punch | 1.2-litre, 3-cylinder petrol | 87.8hp | 115 Nm | 5 MT/AMT | 20.09 kmpl |
Both the cars run a 1.2-litre, 3-cylinder setup but the Swift’s unit is more refined than the Tata which should help improve the driving experience. The Swift is down on power and torque but it offers better fuel economy than the Punch. We must also understand that the Swift is lighter than the Punch so there won’t be much difference in performance.
