Most affordable cars with ventilated seats

Ventilated seats are among the most desirable features car buyers look for and are especially useful in the summer. Having ventilated seats in your hatchback, sedan, MPV, or SUV can be advantageous for staying cool.

The Tata Punch EV is offered with a choice between a 30kWh battery and a 40kWh pack, with respective claimed ranges of 365km and 468km.

Tata Punch EV new vs old real-world range comparison

Posted on August 31, 2026August 31, 2026 by admin

In February 2026, Tata Motors brought incremental updates to the Punch EV. The carmaker’s most affordable electric SUV saw a bump in battery size, subtle cosmetic revisions, and feature additions, while also being more affordable than its predecessor. To see how much the 2026 Punch EV has improved over its older iteration, we put it through our real-world range tests and compare it to its predecessors.

Tata Punch EV new vs old: Specifications

Tata Punch EV new vs old: Specifications
	Tata Punch EV New	Tata Punch EV Old
Battery size	40	35
Electric motor setup	Single motor, front	Single motor, front
Power (hp)	129	122
Torque (Nm)	154	190
ARAI range (km)	468	365
Kerb weight (kg)	1365	1,360
0-100kph time (claimed, in seconds)	9	9.5

With the newer Punch EV, Tata has increased the battery size in its long-range version by 5kWh and bumped the motor’s power slightly. However, the older Punch EV’s motor delivered 36Nm more torque than the newer model. In the new Punch EV, Tata introduced a new 6-in-1 drivetrain setup, replacing the older one’s 3-in-1 unit. With this new setup, Tata claims a 50 percent reduction in packaging size, a 28 percent reduction in weight, and a 6 percent increase in efficiency. Despite the larger battery, this new drivetrain setup on the Punch EV has led to a weight increase of a mere 5kg over its predecessor.

Tata Punch EV new vs old: Real-world range

In our real-world range tests, the newer Tata Punch EV delivered much higher range than its predecessor. On average, the former goes 75km further than the latter on a single charge. This is because the more efficient drivetrain setup (see table below), coupled with the larger battery pack on the new Punch EV, has translated into going farther on a single charge.

Tata Punch EV new vs old: Efficiency
	Tata Punch EV New	Tata Punch EV Old
City efficiency (km/kWh)	7.92	6.92
Highway efficiency (km/kWh)	7.29	6.17
Average efficiency (km/kWh)	7.61	6.54

Tata Punch EV new vs old: Prices

Tata Punch EV new vs old: Prices
	Tata Punch EV New	Tata Punch EV Old
Long Range version price range (Rs lakh)	10.99 – 12.79	12.99 to 14.49

Despite the updates and higher real-world range, the new Tata Punch EV is much more affordable than the older model. In fact, depending on the variant chosen, the former is up to Rs 2 lakh cheaper than the latter.

Autocar India’s range testing

Before our real-world range tests, the battery of our test car was fully charged, and we maintained tyre pressures in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. The car was driven on a weekday in Mumbai city and on the adjoining state highway in a fixed loop, and we maintained the set average speeds. At the end of each cycle, we calculated the range based on the percentage charge consumed.

Throughout our tests, the climate control was set to 22deg C in a full-auto setting, and other electricals, such as the audio system, indicators and ventilated front seats, were used when required, just as a regular user would. We take pride in our testing data, which isn’t merely consistent but also gives users an accurate indication of what they can expect in the real world.

2026 Tata Punch EV real world range tested, explained

Posted on August 29, 2026August 29, 2026 by admin

The 2026 Tata Punch EV gets changes to its styling, tweaks to the powertrain and bigger battery options. Interestingly, its starting price is now Rs. 1.65 lakh lower than before and the price range spans Rs. 9.7 lakh and Rs. 12.8 lakh (ex-showroom). We put the Tata Punch EV with the 40kWh battery through our real-world efficiency test to see how it performs.

80 percent recharge takes 27 minutes on a 180kW DC fast charger
Punch EV 40kWh variant weighs 1,365kg
Gets four regen modes; no single pedal driving

Tata Punch EV real-world range and charging explained

The Punch EV currently is available with either a 30kWh or a 40kWh battery pack, up from 25kWh and 35kWh, respectively. We tested the Punch EV with the 40kWh battery pack, which is powered by a PMSM motor producing 129hp and 154Nm. The Punch EV offers three driving modes – Eco, City and Sport. For our tests, we used the Eco driving mode with the regen level set to L3 in the city and L1 on the highway.

In the city, the Tata Punch EV returned an efficiency of 7.92km/kWh extrapolating to a range of 317km. On the highway, the efficiency dropped to 7.29km/kWh translating to a range of 291km. With an overall efficiency of 7.61km/kWh, the Tata Punch EV can deliver a real-world range of 304km on a full charge.

Tata claims that the DC fast capability of the Punch EV has gone up to 65kW from 50kW in the previous model. That said, we charged the car using a 180kW DC fast charger and noted peak charging speeds around 67.3kW. However, the charging speed dropped after 50 percent state of charge, before rapidly dropping after 90 percent. In terms of charging times, the Punch EV took 27 minutes to charge from 20-80 percent, and took another 31 minutes to reach 100 percent.

Tata Punch EV Facelift ने Bharat NCAP में मचाया धमाल, हांसिल की 5-स्टार सेफ्टी रेटिंग

Posted on July 29, 2026July 29, 2026 by admin

Tata Punch EV Facelift: 2026 टाटा पंच EV फेसलिफ्ट को हाल ही में हुए भारत NCAP क्रैश टेस्ट में 5-स्टार सेफ्टी रेटिंग मिली है। इस इलेक्ट्रिक SUV को एडल्ट ऑक्यूपेंट प्रोटेक्शन के लिए 32 में से 31.09 और चाइल्ड ऑक्यूपेंट प्रोटेक्शन (बच्चों की सुरक्षा) के लिए 49 में से 45 स्कोर मिला है। इस स्कोर के साथ यह भारत के क्रैश टेस्ट प्रोग्राम के तहत टेस्ट किए गए सबसे अच्छी रेटिंग वाले मॉडल्स में शामिल हो गई है।

भारत NCAP स्कोर और क्रैश टेस्ट परफॉर्मेंस

Punch EV फेसलिफ्ट ने एडल्ट ऑक्यूपेंट प्रोटेक्शन असेसमेंट में 32 में से 31.09 और चाइल्ड ऑक्यूपेंट प्रोटेक्शन (बच्चों की सुरक्षा) में 49 में से 45 स्कोर हासिल किया, जिस वजह से इसे दोनों कैटेगरी में फाइव-स्टार रेटिंग मिली। भारत NCAP टेस्ट रिपोर्ट के अनुसार, फ्रंटल ऑफसेट क्रैश टेस्ट में ड्राइवर और आगे बैठे पैसेंजर की सुरक्षा अच्छी रही, जबकि साइड इम्पैक्ट असेसमेंट में भी परफॉर्मेंस शानदार रही।

बता दें कि बच्चों की सुरक्षा जांचने के लिए कार में चाइल्ड रेस्ट्रेंट सिस्टम (CRS) का इस्तेमाल किया गया। इस टेस्ट में भी Punch EV ने अच्छा प्रदर्शन किया और CRS की फिटिंग व डायनामिक परफॉर्मेंस के मामले में बेहतर स्कोर हासिल किया। हालांकि, ध्यान देने वाली बात यह है कि Bharat NCAP के ये स्कोर सिर्फ उसी वेरिएंट के लिए मान्य हैं, जिसका क्रैश टेस्ट किया गया है। इसलिए बाजार में मौजूद Punch EV के हर वेरिएंट को यही सेफ्टी रेटिंग मिलेगी, ऐसा मानना सही नहीं होगा।

Tata Punch EV: सेफ्टी फीचर्स

Punch EV, Tata Motors के Acti.ev आर्किटेक्चर पर बनी है और इसमें कई तरह के एक्टिव और पैसिव सेफ्टी फीचर्स दिए गए हैं। वेरिएंट के आधार पर, इसमें छह एयरबैग, इलेक्ट्रॉनिक स्टेबिलिटी कंट्रोल (ESC), EBD के साथ ABS, ISOFIX चाइल्ड सीट माउंट, सभी पैसेंजर्स के लिए 3-पॉइंट सीट बेल्ट, टायर प्रेशर मॉनिटरिंग सिस्टम (TPMS), 360-डिग्री कैमरा और ड्राइवर की मदद करने वाले दूसरे फीचर्स मिलते हैं।

हालांकि, Bharat NCAP की सेफ्टी रेटिंग सिर्फ कार में दिए गए फीचर्स की लिस्ट देखकर तय नहीं की जाती। इस टेस्ट में कार की बॉडी स्ट्रक्चर की मजबूती, फ्रंट और साइड इम्पैक्ट क्रैश टेस्ट में उसका प्रदर्शन, यात्रियों को सुरक्षित रखने वाले सिस्टम और बच्चों की सुरक्षा से जुड़े फीचर्स को भी ध्यान में रखा जाता है।

खरीदारों को क्या जानना चाहिए

आज के समय में कार खरीदते वक्त क्रैश टेस्ट रेटिंग एक अहम फैक्टर बन गई है, खासकर कॉम्पैक्ट SUV सेगमेंट में, जहां ग्राहक सुरक्षा को काफी महत्व देते हैं। नई Bharat NCAP रिपोर्ट से पता चलता है कि टेस्ट किए गए Tata Punch EV फेसलिफ्ट ने नियंत्रित क्रैश परिस्थितियों में एडल्ट और चाइल्ड पैसेंजर्स की सुरक्षा के मामले में अच्छा प्रदर्शन किया है।

हालांकि, सिर्फ 5-स्टार रेटिंग को हर स्थिति में सुरक्षा की गारंटी नहीं माना जाना जा सकता है। क्रैश के नतीजे गाड़ी की रफ्तार, टक्कर किस जगह लगी, सड़क की हालत और इस बात पर निर्भर कर सकते हैं कि गाड़ी में बैठे लोगों ने सीटबेल्ट पहनी है या नहीं।

वहीं, इलेक्ट्रिक SUV खरीदने वाले ग्राहकों के लिए Bharat NCAP की यह रिपोर्ट एक भरोसेमंद सुरक्षा मानक के रूप में मददगार हो सकती है। हालांकि, कार खरीदने से पहले ग्राहकों को कीमत, फीचर्स, मेंटेनेंस खर्च, रनिंग कॉस्ट और आफ्टर-सेल्स सर्विस जैसे पहलुओं पर भी ध्यान देना चाहिए।
