Pros	Boot space is ample enough by 315 L on offer Offers a claimed range of 315km per full charge. Supports DC fast charging. With DC fast charging, it goes from 10% to 80% in 55 minutes. Steering offers a decent impression of what’s happening at the front wheels	Higher range than before. The larger 40kWh pack will deliver 350km in real-world driving. Faster DC charging offers 20-80% in 26 mins with 135kms real-world range in 15 mins. 1st owners will get a battery warranty of 15 years with unlimited km usage. BaaS scheme offers a starting price of Rs 6.49 lakh, along with a rental of Rs 2.6 per km. The Punch EV remains an excellent urban vehicle - easy to drive. Improved charging services, like on-demand home charging. Offers a 5-star safety rating along with standard safety features like 6 airbags and ESP.
Cons	The car lacks essential/feel-good features. It is a bit more expensive than the competition. The feel and touch of materials could be improved.	Facelift design might not be to everyone’s liking. While the suspension is abuse-friendly, the ride quality isn’t very comfortable. Missing features like rear A/C vents, 60:40 split for rear seats, central rear headrest etc. Previous Punch EV faced teething issues with build quality and powertrain - hope these are fixed now. The cabin feels too plasticy, especially for the range-topping version at 12+ lakh.
