Pros & Cons

Tata Nexon

Things We Like

•It scored five stars in BNCAP crash safety tests and gets six airbags and ISOFIX anchors as standard.
•It gets modern features such as a panoramic sunroof, JBL sound system, and wireless charger.
•The CNG is offered across all trims without compromising on the 321-litre boot.
•The new touch-based AC controls look great, respond well, and include handy toggle switches.
•Thanks to its 209mm ground clearance and balanced suspension, it handles potholes confidently.

Things We Don't Like

•The diesel engine can do with more refinement and the throttle response feels delayed up to 2,000 rpm.
•The CNG is limited to a manual transmission which may deter city drivers seeking easy shifting.
•Fit and finish feels subpar in places and design oddities such as bottle holder and cubby placement could’ve improved.
•The touchscreen infotainment display seems to lag or freeze at times.

Tata Punch EV

Things We Like

•Looks better: Subtle changes to the design had made it look more modern and bigger than before.
•More range: Both battery packs are not bigger which offer better real-world range than before
•Keeps you comfortable: The ride quality over speed breakers and potholes is plush and it handles well too
•Value for money: Gets a well-rounded package at a lower price than before. The BaaS pricing also makes it more accessible.

Things We Don't Like

•A 4 Seater: There is limited space for 5 passengers in the back and the middle passenger does not get a headrest
•Needs rear seat convenience: Rear passengers also miss out on rear AC vents and cupholders
