Is the Tata Punch Safe for Women Drivers?
There's been some debate surrounding the debate that the Tata Punch weight is too heavy or while it isn't easy for a woman to handle the Tata Punch with comfort. It is said to be challenging for some because of its size and steering feel, others say that is fine for any drivers, regardless of gender. The ensuing debate has explored car design, gender stereotypes in driving and who ultimately a car is truly accessible to. More broadly, it delves into the world of inclusivity in the automotive industry and how the needs of such drivers are taken into account during vehicle development.
Grogging out of a 6 month stint driving the Punch, I can vouch for it being totally fine! This is actually pretty light steering, and the high seating position means great visibility. Driving it's not any harder than any other small car.
I think this entire debate is kinda sexist. The car does not recognize whether it is being driven by a man or woman. It's all about comfort, depending on which gender are you.
The Punch isn’t heavy really but the clutch is stiff in traffic. This isn't a gender thing, but if you constantly drive around city streets this may be a good concept to consider.
My wife went from a hatchback to the Punch and loves it. In fact, the higher ground clearance makes her feel much more confident on bad roads, she says.
I’d say it’s less about gender and more about your experience as a driver. It will take time to get adjusted if you’re new to SUVs, but you should get used to it too because it will take time to get adjusted for anyone.
