The quality of the vehicle is pretty bad,, Fit and Finish is bad, Hard Plastics all around, Body Roll is there, steering has no feedback. It's basically like Wagon R with great engine and DCT gearbox and full of slow functioning features. Seriously, It feels so bad. But is there a choice for a EV buyer especially a budget one ?

Wait 1 more year, tata seems to be having no intention of releasing it any time soon.

As usual Sirish & Overdrive giving a comprehensive First ride impression of Punch EV! Great work guys as usual! 👍🏼 Overall a great EV! I can understand it's a new EV so prices will be higher. Some of the features/things Punch EV needs IMHO: 1) No excuse for not having 60:40 split for rear seats, it won't cost Tata ₹1 Lakh or something! 2)Rear Central Arm rest without cup holders? What's the deal Tata? It ain't no luxury item that will cost you guys arms & legs? 3) Absence of Rear seat charging facility! Why? Just why? A Type C/A ( or a 12V port) port won't kill you! 4)That Physigital doesn't need to house Fog lamps & Hazard Lights. 5) That touchscreen infotainment system needs a rotary dial with some buttons on both sides of it. The area below the A/C vent unit is wasted, put those controls there. 6) Having Rake & Reach adjustable should be counted as a basic safety feature! Why leave it out? 7) How about giving a cabin light for rear seats? 8) Redesign that steering wheel mounted controls, it gets accidentally touched far too many times. These are some of the essential features that I think a customer will definitely miss. And now some things which aren't necessary but I would have liked: 1) Rear AC vents with basic controls 2) Rear Connected Lights like on Other EVs from Tata. 3) Decrease the use of Piano Black, Please it's nothing good! 4) Reduce the blank space on that Physigital control pane, looks not that aesthetic with all the blank space. Gets scratches, fingerprints like crazy. 5)12V port inside the boot! 6) Provide Type C port inside the front armrest. Also provide behind the binnacle of Instrument cluster/ or behind the IRVM for dash cam installation. 7) Reduce the size of that Rotary Drive controller, its huge. That's what I personally think it needs! Otherwise a great car.

Hey, thanks Rajat!

It's is very good video. He explained everything ❤

i Have driven every hatch car in India, but none of them has dynamics of Altroz and handling is spot on...just love that car, apart from some slow engine that car deserves to haver an EV or proper GDi madness. Only car that feels better is (was Polo)...I wish VW launches Polo in india someday.

Good One Sireesh! Looks that this Tata Punch EV is a very compelling proposition indeed. Seems packed with functions and features and good value. If only it could give a real world 400km range! Main thing is if one drives up some steep hills, it will run rapidly out of juice and that can be a worry for people who do frequent hill trips from the plains. It can do 300 kms in the plains but it can’t do 300kms including a steep section. For example it won’t get to Chennai or Coimbatore from Bangalore on one charge.

The rear design of punch is controversial. For me it looks fab in the dark, but otherwise puts me off. Tata should have improved it instead of meddling with its already good front design.

@@evoIndia Despite the difficulties of putting up an EV Charging Point in gated societies, I am keen to look at them - especially the Punch EV. What puts me on the backfoot is Tata's (in)famous uneven panel gaps and terrible after sales, especially where EVs are concerned! Especially where Gen 1 models are concerned, and this is Gen 1 of the Punch, what with so much changed! Again, from the reports I read, it appears that their EV service staff have just been let loose on unsuspecting EV purchasers! They need to be trained thoroughly, if Tata wants to be counted as the King of EVs in India, in my opinion...

In my opinion .. Tata are not making ev cars ... Simply assemble like Delhi wala assembly shop. No innovation at all. What's the fun in cosmetic merits rather than give a consistent battery performance. Endurance for rainy water filled roads, rainy water drivability ect. It is only costly toy as of now. They should complete with Tesla or BYD in specifications and performance . With their Delhiwala assembly shop which is not possible & impossible. They will lobby with government in fear of losing will stop Tesla and other competitors . Not healthy ground.

Dont understand whats with these over dramatised pronunciations of these reviewers … Its not “spoart”….its “sport”…. You are good reviewer sirish , but sorry “Spoart” is just annoying. Just like some other in auto car, powerdrift, etc.,
