Pros & Cons

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

Mahindra XUV 3XO EV

Things We Like

•Practical cabin: Five seats with a useful 364‑litre boot — good for family use.
•Tech & safety: Twin 10.25" displays, ADAS features on higher trim, 6 airbags and ESP.
•Performance: Brisk mid‑range punch and 0–100 km/h in roughly 8.3s — lively for city and highway.
•Value: Competitively priced for an EV with this equipment level.

Things We Don't Like

•Range claims vs real world: Claimed 456 km may be optimistic in high‑speed or heavy‑use conditions.
•Charging: AC charge time is several hours; DC charge power varies by network/variant.
•No AWD: Front‑wheel drive only — not designed for off‑road use.
•Limited variant choice: Only two trims at launch limits customisation.
