Tata Punch Accomplished

I own creative variant and been using since 7 months with 5000 kms drive. Mostly I do highway run and I am very satisfied with the mileage 18-19kmpl in highways and little disappointed in city.. I get 13kmpl in city. Initial pick up is slow due to 3 cylinder engine and at 2500 rpm it’s power is outrageous and you like to drive more in highways…. Cabin is spacious because I weight 102 kgs and still I feel very very comfortable in drivers seat… trust me… and it’s very stable at a speed of 80-100 Kmpl in highways… if it’s very hot outside then you may feel little hot in car till the cabin cools… due to the hot outside it takes little time to cool cabin… but in evening it cools in rapidly…

The Punch is going to be a great buy especially if used mostly in the urban jungle. I just hope they up their game on the engine too so overall these are a more complete package. It ticks a lot of boxes for the paying urban customer - looks that stand out from the crowd, classy interiors, new-age platform, tried and tested competent engine, and an automatic option. Not to mention, the feel-good factor which comes with a "SUV" purchase these days, however "mini" it might be.

Well-designed and practical cabin with enough space for 4 adults. Punch has sorted road manners. Straight line stability is satisfactory and the car doesnt feel nervous even at high speed kmh. Main deal breaker is that NA engine. The front design looks like a shrunk version of Harrier and I felt this could work against the premium Brand. Rest of the features are winwin

Sorted road manners and reassuring high speed stability. Enjoyable Harman Six speaker ICE, one of the better systems in this segment. A full Five stars in the GNCAP. But some missing goodies such as an auto-dimming IRVM, splitting rear seat, rear AC vents, full size spare.Nevertheless, Happy to see such impressive new cars from homegrown players .
