The aim was to give Golden accents to the SUV to make it look like Gold Edition version of Tata Punch. The concept was inspired from Tata’s Safari Gold Edition.  On the outside, Punch gets an LED DRL that run through the width of the car under the bonnet. The original DRL lights we replaced with LED units and the turn indicator light was replaced with dual function LED lights.

The headlamps are now LED and the fog lamps now get LED light which have both yellow and white light in it. The tri-arrow design on the front grille gets golden accents to differentiate it from regular SUVs. Other modifications were made to the interiors.

As mentioned above, Tata Punch was being modified to look like a Gold Edition SUV. In order to justify the theme, the vlogger installed gold coloured soft touch material on the dashboard and on all four door pads. The stock matte gold or copper finished accents around the AC vents go well with the overall theme of the car.

The fabric seats in the Tata Punch were replaced for ice grey and black custom fit seat covers and the vlogger has also installed black and gold dual tone steering covers as well. Tata Punch Accomplished variant comes with decent number of features like touchscreen infotainment system. Other modification that has been done to the Punch is the addition of ambient lights. There is an LED strip on the dashboard and all four doors. The foot well area also gets LED lights. These multi-coloured lights can be controlled using a mobile application.

Illuminated Scuff plates have also been installed on this Tata Punch. Even the top-end variant misses an armrest for driver and co-driver that has been corrected by installing an aftermarket armrest with storage in it. Tata Punch is a micro SUV which competes with cars like Mahindra KUV100 and Maruti Ignis. It is a based on the HBX concept that was showcased at the Auto Expo in 2020.
