Some have been debating if the Tata Punch is too heavy or difficult for women to handle them comfortably. There are some people who claim is it might be difficult because of its size or steering feel, and others who insist it's fine for any driver, regardless of gender. That has made people talk about car design, gender stereotypes around driving, and more broadly: what makes a vehicle accessible to all? The topic extends beyond the factors affecting Malaysian automotive enrollment, to wider issues of inclusivity in the automotive industry and how different driver needs are recognized when developing vehicles.
