Our take on this /// Verdict
The Tata Punch EV is a compelling package that combines affordability, features, and performance, making it an attractive option for those venturing into the electric vehicle segment. While it has its flaws, such as the inconsistent panel gaps, vibrations at higher speeds, and the absence of a spare wheel, these are outweighed by its numerous strengths. The car is fun to drive, especially in Sport mode, where it delivers quick acceleration and a responsive driving experience. The adjustable regenerative braking system is a standout feature, adding to the cars efficiency and driver engagement. However, the rotary drive selectors slow operation and the lack of rear air-con vents are minor drawbacks. Overall, the Punch EV is a well-rounded vehicle that is ideal for urban driving, offering a great balance of comfort, features, and cost efficiency.
Price
The Tata Punch EV is priced competitively in the Indian market. The base variant starts at around 11 lakhs ex-showroom, which is quite reasonable considering the features and performance it offers.

On-road prices will vary depending on the state and local taxes, but you can expect to pay around 12-13 lakhs for the base model and up to 17 lakhs for the top-end model. Given the cost savings on fuel and maintenance, the Punch EV offers excellent value for money, making it a financially savvy choice for those looking to transition to an electric vehicle.
