Tata Punch.ev First Impressions | MotorInc First S02E07

Hey, do you think Tata could have added the spare wheel similar to a Ford EcoSport. I think that would save the vehicle from people rear ending the vehicle as well. Simple solution to the missing wheel which is needed on Indian roads 😊

Thats some sad 6 year olds that you know 😂😂😂

It's a gimmick to make people buy top variants!

Why aren't auto journalists mentioning 2nd hand market for ev's? What about european and us ev markets facing issues and dropping all their future expansion plans?

Hey you guys dint do first impression or podcast talk for Grand vitara... Will love to see your detailed views on this car

Are there any plans for a Harrier/Safari ev? I feel it would make a lot of sense as these cars don’t
have much competition from the segment above(Fortuner is much more expensive and Meridian is all but irrelevant) Great video btw

Where's that sweatshirt from Kartikeya!😄

The "punch frunk junk" was hilarious! 😂

Would have been more attractive if they had given connecting tail lights in the rear like the new nexon ev

The charging door probably would also have open/close issues in snow areas.

Komaki cheap electric the ola then TVs then chetak then ather

Boring

Audio only is perfect. Infact It's so immersive I sometimes forget what what I was doing in the first place😅

Driving for 15 +days now.. loving it no issues so far.. only first time when I recharged the vehicle, indicator sound and hazard lights sound just disappeared.. I had documents to pick at showroom just then.. the person spoke to some 'specialist' on phone and did 'force reset' not 'factory reset'.. it's all going fine since then which is about 12 days now.
I have the empowerment+ LR without sunroof (I had actually booked NR but instead took LR.. happy that I did).. without sunroof it feels and is roomy and comfortable otherwise I felt when is my head going to hit the roof when I test drove the vehicle with sunroof.. also just love the singleish peddle drive (city mode with regen level 2).. seats r comfortable but could have been better with more neck & upper back support..

1 Hr for this 😮

5 lac more means from ICE to EV ; one has to drive 1 lac kms to even start break even(ing) the extra cost paid for the punch EV

What I feel 5 lac upfront cost is higher if we compare current battery price from china. In india this approximately 12000 per kilowatt so for 25 kw cost of battery should be approximately 3 lac. Futhermore, their is no engine and other extra assembly and the price of motor I think should be lower than a engine. So this 3 lac extra justify the real cost in India for present scenario. Correct if i am wrong

Any time line on when the detailed drive review will be out?

In terms of Suspension and ride quality, do you recommend Punch or Nexon EV?

@kartikey what brands do u wear ?can u mut the credits for wat u wear

I'm using Altroz for last 3.5 years, the service where not that great in initial 2 years. Then came Luxon Tata the new sales and service partner in Kerala, I'm honestly saying they actually stepped up the game , very professional approach .
Owner of Luxon is Nippon who was famous for Nippon Toyota as well as Incheon kia.

"MEREKO KATO PIAA" (Come bite me, love.)
Thats what I heard whenever you said that track name. And yes I've never been more confused. I thought you guys gave it a nick name because it was so bad and going there is as bad as getting bit by something.

Shubratha's punches are excellent

Range Rover PHEVs have the Charging port in the nose👃!!!

Please stick to the topic and don't deviate... You people are knowledgeable but still 30 percent of the programme is hardly away from the topic and in trying to explain the details you try to dig deep about things which hardly matter... Kindly reduce the content time especially Karthik sticks to the point. The affordable ev is ather was boring......please don't waste viewers time.

My only fear is what will happen to batteries in our famous water logged roads and parking. As batteries are at the lowest point on the car.

Your content quality is very addictive. Kudos! I have been following and watching your reels and conv like this one. Pretty interesting way to present. Thanks for Standing out!

Shumi has the exact charisma that I want in my old age.

I thought the logo looked tilted before Karthikeya said that and i thought maybe something's wrong with my perspective 😂. Its definitely tilted a bit. Also,a request. Can you please measure the sound within a cabin using a decibel meter?. It will help establish the baseline of silence for the best cars and help call out the worst offenders.

Punch 14 lakh on road adventure model is vfm , but almost 14 lakh for adventure just sucks . The small car doesn't deserve this price tag . Had there been a car like altroz with an extended boot with similar battery size and range , that would have been a better option but for the time being putting almost 15 lakhs ( including 7.2kw charger , and some accesories ) doesnt make sense for car of this size .

Punch ev base variant should be compared to punch ICE automatic transmission price . Then delta between price difference is more reasonable. Comparing price of manual transmission and ev is not correct considering overoll drive experience and hustle of using manual car inside city

All I can understand, you guys DO NOT like TATA. for no reasonable reasons!

The logo does look tilted to me.

Holllllyyyyyyy ssssshhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiitttttttttt iiiiiitttttt is really tilted towards left

Once you drive Punch petrol and ev back to back, you really admire Tata for bringing ev for the same. Bcs the name punch given to a Tata car with revotron powertrain seems a bit wierd.. er...

Can you pls make a video on Eco, City & Sports Mode of Nexon Facelift? Also help with ideal modes for each dirving condition & relted rpm etc.

Very nuanced, useful conversation. I was interested in this vehicle as soon as i came to know about it. I would rate it the best in India right now for the city car role. Automatic, powerful, safe, high seating, narrow footprint, robust and absorbent suspension, the suspension is specifically made to be 'gunned' on the worst of roads. Add to that the electric vehicle benefits, instant power and torque, and the super low running cost, and you have a winner, which is unbeatable right now. It's a mini-tank, which is fast and exciting to drive too, with almost nil running cost!

Thank you for yet another detailed review! I have a question: If I'm considering the top model of Punch EV, its around 16L, and yes it feels like a more well-rounded package. But then I think about the XUV 400 EL Pro which is about 2.5 lacs more and that one feels a lot more premium, more spacious, and I loved the audio on XUV a lot better than the one on Punch top (may be the unit I TD had an issue, but it felt lower quality than the one on my 2022 Tigor EV). And given the issues of not tuning the drive modes properly on XUV - I am not able to decide if it's better to save those 2.5 lacs and go with the Punch, whose driving experiece will be good, at the risk of repeating of the many service issues that I have seen with my Tigor EV), along with the possible niggles with the tech or actually spend the 2.5 lacs and get a more premium experience with more power which i will need to manage manually rather than relying on the car to handle it and a little bit more range on the 40KWH battery pack but at the cost of missing some features, and also I'm not sure how Mahindra service is, especially for EVs? So not sure if the additional 2.5 lacs is justified Please help!!!

I'm expecting the delivery of my punch ev adventure LR in the next couple of days, this podcast definitely helped to tilt my purchase decision towards it. Thanks guys.

Hi Motorinc, Loved the video.
Would not it be more apt if you compare punch ev with punch ice amt versions?

Punch missed out in the major factor. Which is the rear space, rear comfort and rear specs. For a person like me who is chauffeured driven I find it unreasonable. Does Tata expect Indians to be tiny? Leave aside the gizmos, it’s a tiny car. I would rather go for a Citroen which has good drivability and ample space in cabin and rear. Tata should make cars of international standards

I'm going to make one controversial opinion: SHUMI IS NOT A GOOD REVIEWER.

Reason: For him, first impressions really matters. If he likes the product he will like all the subsequent products and if he doesn't then he keeps trying to sound like a smartass for all the subsequent products. Might not go well in long run..

Kartik is way better, he's soft spoken and talks objectively.. also the amount of interruptions he ignores is god-level, any normal person will get irritated by shumi. You'll get your chance, just shut up for a minute.

Why does everyone keep saying that it has face of Nexon? This was punch's face which was introduced to nexon facelift.

I think the whole DRL bar is tilted😂

Torsional Rigidity
PunchEV 22000 N/degree
Rolls Phantom 45000 N/degree


Are these numbers verified?

Does the eco mode feel faster than regular ICE cars accelartion ?
