Tata Punch Electric – Drives Better Than Nexon EV | Faisal Khan
Hi guys and welcome to another Vlog I’m driving this this is the tatap punch. EV this is actually the long range version of the Tata punch. EV there’s a standard range which I will never recommend you buy because the range is really very poor straight away let’s open the Frank
Because this one has a usable Frank which is not that usable because only 14 L or so 5 K can be accommodated there which isn’t much insulation is given here which is not needed oh my God that was quite the bank I don’t like the design much because it looks very
Similar to the Nexon EV so yes it could have its own identity but tat Motors is doing the family design language everything looks the same now front parking camera horn is exposed right here and that is a functional event I really don’t know how much it adds to aerodynamic efficiency low beam high
Beam sequential indicator and everybody hated the massive DRL they called it a tube light on the Verner where are the DK fans right now we not complaining when tataa is doing the exact same meanwhile there is a toing hook here which you probably would need if you’re driving the standard range because
Battery could deplete fast 315 km claim range which in the real world is like 200 or 220 and my car number seven t for a freaking reason TI size 195 66 alloy design is okay I really don’t like that much says do e there all types of colors on this
Car that is finished in blue they obviously get the body clading in black and then has this floating roof treatment too meanwhile doors open 90° which is good but kind of useless and the space at the rear isn’t that good either because look at that not much
Space under th support is poor Headroom is adequate enough but why is there no Center headrest here and the seat is a bit upright no cup holders here either no rear AC vents no charging sockets at the rear so yeah starter Motors could have done better in terms of features
Because because yes they’ve given it a lot of features but the essential features are missing now this reclines in one single piece it needed to recline in 60/40 tataa Motors why it doesn’t do that I really don’t understand obviously isopix child seat Mount 3o seat belt all
That is given I appreciate it but all the lights are on hogen because this is actually yes this is hallogen I mean all the lights are not LEDs which is disappointing and there’s a provision for the rear fog light which is not there front parking sensors are not
There it gets two parking sensors at the rear cost cutting again meanwhile the loading lip is on the high side this particular car does not get a spare wheel only so again cost cutting has been done that is the charging cable and tool kit and all is organized properly
But I need a spare wheel I don’t need a freaking puncher repair kit please give me that if you can it can accommodate 1 kg on either side as well that’s what it says and there is the light for the number plate meanwhile I mean the design
Is similar to the punch even though it’s on a new platform as such and this is also functional these is air curtain it doesn’t really need it but it still has it anyways ground clearan is 190 mm water weighting capacity 350 mm request sensor on this side not there on that
Side so yes cost cutting is there instead of putting this sticker on all your cars which says 25 years 50 L cars give me rear AC V please or at least charging sockets at the rear because that’s what I really need why are there dummy buttons here overall fit finish
And all could be a bit better even the body people say now tataa motor’s cars are stable and all look at this yeah so that is not really great look at the way a small punch can just move the punch and overall you know uh the gaps and finishing and all could be
Lot better yeah the panel gaps are a bit too much in this car let’s step inside where I feel they’ve done a fantastic job with the dashboard design but obviously beige is going to get dirty really soon six airbags seat ventilation button is in the wrong place because I
Have been accidentally hitting it time and again door pockets are nice but illumination is only on the driver side not on the other windows why is that again same cheap looking old Power Window controls from the indicaa Vista days same for the mirror adjustment as well speaker Tweeter and all that is
Given obviously engine start button there’s no engine here sorry and let’s turn off the lights so it gets this uh blind view monitor quality of the cameras could be a lot better but at least art Motors is giving us a 360° parking camera in this particular car
What is this video which is playing oh my goodness this is none other than the citen yes the EC3 why is this so dim why am I not able to see anything let me try oh okay so in terms of brightness this screen isn’t
That great why is it so dimly lit up I have no idea but this is a very loaded screen it’s got arcade. EV it’s got mood light it has even got aqi Monitor and you can also do racing games Amazon Alexa Android auto and apple carplay are
While let take that Hyundai love box is decent size but a bit flimsy of course however it gets a cooling function a tray here a light there as well yeah lot of hot Plastics this is a fingerprint magnet this screen is known to con off at times so is this screen both are
10.25 in unit at least in the next one and harer and so far you have seen these screens have stopped working slightly bigger screens there of course meanwhile the this magnet is not very reassuring and this is so chinu Min it’s not really a storage space however electric parking
Breake and auto hold function nice this duel effect is also fantastic modes and all are given wireless charging pad so yes lot of features but some of them are missing now look at this there’s no alignment only panel gaps this is eliminated and this is obviously a fingerprint magnet will get dirty really
Soon the horn could be better though yes as I see it this guy is really very well loaded but could do with slightly more features wipers work really well lot of spray on offer and this is an auto diming mirror there is no mirror here why there’s a mirror here the driver
Does not deserve to see his face sunroof is really small the sunroof could be bigger and this is optional you pay 50,000 for it actually 56,000 when you factor in taxes it opens completely but it could be slightly bigger so it’s a chintu mintu sunroof right here overall
Fit finishing all is good enough only thing is they should work on the panel gaps of this car but how is it to drive that’s the main question right because at the end of the day does this car finally have the punch I am happy to say it does [Applause]
All right it’s time to drive which means I’ll turn off the vehicle take out the key this lady is very chatty let’s open the door and it says door open there let’s turn on the vehicle does this whole show and says stter Motors it’s a bit laggy there air conditioning I’m
Going to decrease I have kept the air conditioning on for a reason because right now it is in City mode it’s saying it’s a range of 232 km when I get into sport drive mode the range reduces to 220 km when I get into EC drive mode the
Range is to 46 km this is all on 86% battery now I’m going to turn off the air conditioning the range increases to 273 km in eco mode in City mode the range is 257 km and in sport mode the range is to 45 km now you should not
Charge your battery over 80% so this is the realistic range which you’ll get in the real world now again depending on your driving style so we are in sport mode and I’m going to get into drive now this is not the easiest to use it’s a bit cumbersome because at times you
Really don’t know which mode you are in so yeah this looks nice but it’s not very practical and this port is a bit jammed so you have to put in a slight effort to actually use it as well left foot on the brake right foot on the accelerator please fasten passenger
Seat please fasten passenger seat there we have reached 100 km per hour now let me tell you the story of the passenger seat belt there’s no one sitting on the particular seat where it’s ringing and saying fasten passenger seat belt because this rings for 30 seconds something which maruti started with the
I think they started with the gymy and all so very irritating feature there it should have a sensor to detect if there’s a person sitting there n no it just keeps ringing randomly which is not so good can I turn on the camera let’s try that as well okay there it is the
Driver rear viiew monitor not the 360° parking camera now it’s shut 30 seconds of unnecessary disturbance for me around the corner well you can feel the weight battery weight is quite a lot lot and there there is so much torque going through the front wheels that it keeps
Doing Tor to and wheel spinning as well see this performance is very good this car finally has the punch which the petrol punch never had because the petrol punch has a 1.2 L petrol engine which is producing just and when I say just 86 horsepower which isn’t much 86 or 83 not
That it matters because it’s kind of hopeless in terms of performance and the talk output there is 130 new M the punch petrol is really very slow it gets a 5-speed manual gearbox and a 5-speed AMT and it also comes with CNG options and all so that’s the reason why the punch
Eeve makes a lot more sense but this car cost R 4.55 lakhs more when compared to the regular petrol punch so yes the premium is quite a lot variant to variant I’m talking about on Ro pricing of course steering doesn’t have much feel as such electric cars are becoming
Gadgets is what tataa motors is saying and they’re like you know gadgets very nice I don’t like gadgets who wants to buy a gadget people want a car and that’s something where TARTA Motors is going wrong because they feel that cars are gadgets now and gadgets are not fun
To drive right and that’s the same case here I mean the performance is good I just hit a bump and randomly the indicator has started ride quality is actually quite good it is quite compliant and yeah ESP is on and still the wheels are spinning like crazy so this is the
Long range which is powered by 35 KW battery pack producing 122 Hors power which is good and 190 new M of torque which reminds me of the original Swift diesel which produced 190 Newton M of torque so yes that’s the reason it has that punch but obviously the Swift
Diesel had a big turbo so there was turbo lag there was the silence before the storm here like all other electric cars there’s that instant boost and then it’s linear and then it dies out in the top end I think the top speed is somewhere around 140 km/ hour which is
Fine you don’t expect more from EVS of course 0 100 km per hour in 9.5 seconds which isn’t bad it is decently quick horn is okay it’s not that great I click the horn just to give you the horn test that guy’s like hello dude what’s up
Let’s take a quick U-turn turning radius is actually my goodness I’m just wrestling the freaking steering wheel which is devoid of any feel or feedback only so this is actually the long range the standard range please avoid that at any possible cost or every possible cost because that
One has a 25 Kow hour battery pack that has a real world range of maybe around 200 2 20 km because the claim range there is 315 km the claim range here for the long range is 421 km which is not possible because when I got the car at
100% charge in the morning by the time I took a video of it that was 97% charge so around 360 km on 100% charge with the long range so where did those 61 km vanish I don’t know what AI does and how they manage to push the car down a slope
To get those amazing efficiency numbers probably I should hire drivers from AI so that I can save a lot more money that said obviously the standard range is to be AO it because the performance will be similar I mean it will be slightly better because of instant talk but the
Numbers is similar to the petrol punch which is 82 PS of power and 114 new M of t 0 to 100 km per hour in 13.5 seconds which is quite commendable considering the petrol punch never reaches 100 km per hour because of the lackluster performance Jokes Aside the petrol punch
Does reach 100 km per hour but the engine is not that great so obviously the standard one please avoid it at all cost in fact the standard one is slightly faster charging because of the smaller battery right so this car comes with a 3.3 Kow wall plug or the 15 aamp
Socket as standard which will take the battery from 10 to 100% in the standard range in just um approximately 9.4 hours meanwhile it will take 13 and 1/2 hours here you can pay 50,000 more or rather when you factor in the onroad pricing that is around 53,000 more for the 7.2
Kow AC fast charger which will take the standard battery standard models battery from 10 to 100% in around 3.6 hours or 5 hours in the long range version meanwhile the best way to charge is obviously the 50 k oh my God the to Ste the 50 Kow DC fast charger which is
Obviously something you would do outside which will charge this car from 10 to 80% in just 56 minutes whether it’s the standard range or whether it is the long range similar charging times of course so you have to get that AC charger otherwise it’s super slow charging man
13 and 1/2 hours is a lot of time that said the good thing here is that the price difference between the standard and the long range is around 1.1 to 1.4 lakhs which isn’t much which makes me want to launch this car here left foot on the brake right foot on the
Accelerator and off we go there you go acceleration is linear and brisk and obviously it’s an electric motor so it’s super duper silent you can’t hear much that’s how it is with all electric motors brakes are good in fact I think they’ve given it all whee disc as well so braking performance is
Good because it also has regenerative braking which means that you can use the steering mounted paddles to enable regen so right now regen is off let me turn it on to maximum so there are four levels there’s off there’s level one there’s level two there’s level three now I have
Just left it completely it’s slowing down it slows down dramatically it slows down quite fast at certain speeds which is good why is the camera off so we’re going to turn it on again and yeah the steering has no feel yeah what is this steering wheel there’s so much body roll
As well so this is not a dynamic car in any way whatsoever especially the suspension is a bit noisy oh God where are we going actually I need to take a reverse now because they’ve closed that particular road which is quite surprising to me here we are into
Reverse visibility and all is fine I don’t have much to complain about there but I’ve just taken a very very very very bad turn right now uh but yes camera quality could be better I feel yes the cameras could be slightly better in terms of quality and since I’m
Complaining so much today most people will be like Tata against know yeah I really appreciate how tataa Motors is pushing the boundaries when it comes to electric cars and I know the reason for the same tataa Motors is not really great in terms of making petrol engines
We know Hyundai and maruti have mastered that art of making good petrol engines so with EVS tataa Motors has like 70% market share and the primary reason for that is that they are giving us very value for money Alternatives so here we are again I’m going to launch in fact
I’m going to launch it into eco mode so you can see how slow this car can get yeah and 360° parking camera on let me turn on the 3D view come on come on come on there you go and off F go camera turned off little bit wheel
Spinning Ecco drive mode as well e dri mode is so slow that a Honda unicorn overtook me right away yeah it’s not that pridey as such it’s very laidback yeah not exciting to drive it in E drive mode but then it gives you better range and that range obviously matters that
That is the blind view monitor the quality of the camera isn’t that great on the side at least somehow at the rear it is a lot better yeah you can just see the cameras and now I’m going to get into the city drive mode no is it in E
Yeah City drive mode activated this lady Now talks a lot I don’t know why we have this panel which is full of fingerprint look at this if Da comes to know about this now he’s going to catch me so we need a clot to always clean it I’m just
Ruining it further I feel that is not a welld designed steering wheel at all for see the panel gaps and then the fingerprint magnet not needed at all I don’t know why T Motors does all these unnecessary things they should really focus on QC reliability and all these
Factors in improving the service because that is where things go A bit wrong compared to the regular punch petrol the warranty here is better because I think that’s 3 years 1 lak km whatever here it is 3 years 1 125,000 km and the battery has an 8e 1 160,000 km warranty which is
Usually the case IP67 rated and all that which is obviously standard across all electric cars these days cuz I think the battery manufacturer offers the same yeah then ESB kicks in very abruptly and then tires are going to go really fast in this car should we do the
Brake test we should but we’ll do it later let me stop here turn on the hazards and we will launch it again this time we going to launch it in City drive mode I like this menu actually this is super cool the way they have done it on
Yeah so yeah some of the graphics are actually quite nice however steering is adjustable only for height not for reach and hazard lights off and off we go in City drive mode are we in City drive mode yes we are in City drive mode range increase now all of a sudden I thought
We have come in Eco but then I turn off the air conditioning so obviously that makes quite a bit of a difference as well now this is underpinned by the Gen 2 Electric platform from Tara Motors known as active there’s a word play here it is act. EV whereas the spelling of
Active is Act V for me being the grammar Nazi I cannot tolerate the way T mot has spelled this so yes that’s kind of sad but this car is overlapping all other tataa electric cars in terms of pricing because tataa has like four electric cars now so the top variants of the
Tigon and the Thiago EV models they can be had I mean for that same price you can get lower variants of the punch. and for the top variants of the punch. EV you can get lower variants of the nexxon doev and the Nexon is obviously a better choice personally speaking but don’t uh
I mean don’t get the older version of the Nexon get the latest version get the long range all always talking about the variants they are five trim levels they standard standard plus Adventure empowered empowered plus but all these five are available only with the standard range with the long range which
Is this one you do not have the lower two uh this thing variant so smart and Smart Plus are not available in the long range so there are totally eight variants however there are these personas and accessories and what not resulting in there being almost hold your breath 20 freaking variants of this
Car and the price range starts at 11.67 lakhs goes all the way to 16.48% some of the bits are optional like I was telling you the charging cable the 7.2 Kow ac1 is optional even the sunroof is optional you have to pay 50,000 for it onroad price turns out to
Be 56,000 difference and that is available only in the adventure empowered and empowered plus variants you cannot get the sunroof in the lower variant no no no I’m sorry that is simply not possible yeah electric cars are just quite yeah the tires could be lot better I think the tires are getting very
Quickly uh like they’re going very quickly because of wheel spin actually the mode is wrong right now City so sport that you immediately feel the difference between all the drive modes they obviously alter how much power is coming out from the electric motor so the tires are wearing out faster than
Electric cars because of the torque and you obviously push it it’s like driving a four-wheel version of the Activa that’s how is the feeling of driving such a car obviously the Activa makes some sound at least this one doesn’t the Activa has the CVT Vine This one doesn’t
But the Activa has that instant acceleration when you twist your right wrist here when you twist your right foot yeah it does accelerate with quite a lot of enthusiasm but it’s just this thing which is uh the problem here that uh there’s nose drive under heavy braking soft suspension really affects the car
Quite a lot and uh yeah there is some amount of stuff on the road for us to do the ride quality test oh my goodness I’m not sure if you guys can see that but there’s an Airbus A320 taking off right there right now and now approximately at 70 km per
Hour region to the maximum let’s see if the car comes to hold completely and while it is decelerating let me tell you that this flatform is actually modular it will also underpin the Harrier Eevee the alros Eevee as well as the upcoming curve and the Sierra models and now it’s
Going to cruise at 9 km/ hour because we are in sport mode if I get into eco mode maybe the cruising speed will decrease slightly earlier it was cruising at 7 km/ hour now it’s decreasing even though we are on a down slope so it’s slowing
Down very very very slowly come to a hold no there is no one one pedal driving then because if it is slowing down at such a slow pace there’s no bur pedal driving but oh now it’s reached 7 km/ hour at this pace by next year this
Car will definitely come to a halt 75 years later still stuck at 7 km/ hour in fact it’s increasing speed to 8 km/ hour so yes there is no one pedal driving but that doesn’t stop us from doing the braking test we’re going to hit a speed
Of approximately 80 km/ hour and stand on the brakes now oh I’m hitting 90 as always a ABS is just over sensitive Here so T Motors has thrown everything but the kitchen sink here I know it misses out on certain features but this car has almost every possible feature you could ever imagine it is super duper loaded so kudos to Tata Motors for the same and this car competes with the mg
Comet and the citen EC3 and also its own stable mates but compared to the other cars from nonata Motors this one definitely feels a lot better and I would definitely recommended over the EC3 as well as the mg Comet I mean if you don’t want to be seen in a comet for
Sure even though mg Strang is level best to make this car Popular by giving it for free to actors like Sunil Shetty and there was another actor and then there’s some blogger also who has also got that comment all of them have been paid to drive that car otherwise you will never
Want to be seen in one of them if you like this Vlog make sure to give it a thumbs up that’s the like button and also subscribe to the channel I will see you guys in the next video really soon bye-bye ah yeah the driving feel isn’t that
Fantastic that’s the only problem with electric cars I have to admit that electric cars are economy drive mode oh finally lady you got up so electric cars are definitely efficient but they really don’t save the environment much because of the way the battery is produced of
Course and then I cannot deny that fact that you can save 4 and a half lakhs and get the regular punch but that doesn’t have a punch at all so in this way the electric version is better in fact for smaller City cars definitely electric makes a lot more sense but I would
Rather walk Today
