Infotainment has come to play a large part in what many buyers want in a car and is often very high on the list of what drives a person to buy a car. Across the Tata Punch's system has suffered from mixed reviews — some rave about its features and that it’s easy to use, while others deride it for laggy performance, having limited functionality, and poor connectivity. As a result, there has been discussion about how much infotainment should be part of a budget car; whether a local system is of greater value than smartphone connectivity; and if Tata's software upgrades are keeping pace with their improvements in the rest of the car. The broader discussion on the trend of an increase of digitization in vehicles and whether it is always a good development is discussed too.
