I used to be in awe of videos produced by Powerdrift (old videos)Now, this is something else! aesthetic af! Kudos to the design team.Must say the design and the narration of your videos go so well together !
Well said. The details, aesthetics, call composure, fonts used , transitions , colour palette.. just every bit of the videos is outstanding I am not exaggerating here but your videos are not any less than commercials with respect to quality of content on screen
I love that you focus so much on small cars and small bikes. Yes, big bikes and cars are exciting, but I've always felt that if you throw unlimited amounts of money at stuff, innovation is easy. It's when someone brings innovation to the masses that it becomes truly wonderful
HPV! 0:54 What a great idea sir ji. As a enthusiast, you get bogged down when everyone keeps calling jacked up hatchbacks as SUV. Thank you Karthikeyan! The video editor has done a great job, the way he places the pictures in the video is smooth. Looks appealing yet unintrusive.
Just when the automobile review scene on youtube was becoming a chaotic eco chamber with not only similar sounding reviews but even similar looking content, MotorInc has come up with more than a dash of fresh air! This feels like the BBC of Automobile reviews amidst a clutter of 'Foxy' auto review channels. Very well done and Bravo for your efforts, for your aesthetics and for the oh-so slow and patient delivery of content! Keep it up Karthikeya! Looking forward to more such content from your this channel.
I have owned this car in Adventure Rhythm manual spec. Completed 11,000 km in 10 months. It is a practical city car with easy ingress/egress for older family members, ride quality at highway speeds less than 100 km/h is good. Great set of speakers at this price. Small enough to park anywhere in city conditions. I am happy with the car and my family is happy too. Braking is adequate and the NA engine means it cannot hit speeds where the brakes will be overwhelmed. But brakes could be better. Maybe a tyre upgrade might help. Best wishes to Tata motors team who built this underrated gem.
Love your production quality! There are not a lot of Indian automotive channels that have the same production quality and personality as yours, this video and the e-scooter comparison video were so good! Please keep them coming 😍
Your videos are just so refreshing, absolutely love them. And yes, I bought a Punch back in Feb 2022 for my father who is almost 70 now. The looks, build quality, interior space, and feel of sitting in a bigger car... all made me go for it. Less power was a bit of an issue, even for my father who drove Alto K10 before. But, that was not a deal breaker at the end. All good so far! I would buy one for myself if it comes with a Diesel engine.
Tall boy car, and a good looking front. Anyone looking for an alternative to wagon r, would probably like this since it provides that visibility and bigger space overall.
Not only is the production quality of your videos really high, but there's also a calm vibe to them, almost like you're having a chill conversation with us the viewers in person. And instead of overloading us with information, you talk about relevant points that really matter. This channel is going places !
I loved the video. This, more in-depth POV is much more appealing than the usual walk arounds with background EDM music. What could have been better is, if Kartikeya could have mentioned some of the alternatives for the experienced drivers, so that they could compare their experience while taking a test drive? Other than that, you guys are nailing it❤️
I drive a Tiago. Must admit, was mighty tempted to go for a Punch. However, except the tall boy stance and higher ground clearance, personally, i felt that the delta in bucks did not justify the delta in functionality from the Tiago. While the Punch may seem larger from the outside, from the inside, the Tiago cabin feels roomier. And, i may be biased here, but I felt that on highways, the Tiago handles better than the Punch. But maybe I am comparing apples to oranges.
You are.. and there's nothing wrong with that as long as we understand why. The lower stance of the Tiago means the suspension has to work less to control the body movement and can therefore be more lenient(pliant). Whereas on the Punch it has to be stricter. The Tiago is a surprisingly spacious car for its size, no doubt. But, the Punch has its advantages - which you have listed too!
Now that's what I was expecting. Less noisy and shady videos. I have been commenting on Powerdrift videos to produce this kind of video but did not get it. But now I feel at home. @Shumi and @karthikeya Kudos to the team. Would love to see some story-based videos as well like a comparison of two vehicles on a long journey. Two people are telling the experience of the car they are driving while exploring the city or destination.
As an altroz owner I have experienced something since I bought it in 2022 and the test drives of punch and altroz when buying the car is that the alfa architecture especially on altroz makes it's handling so good the chassis balance is just very amazing similarly for punch also considering it's height the handling is quite impressive and the suspension tune of both the cars is comfortable yet not so soft that it bounces around. But the engine doesn't let's you fully exploit that amazing chassis balance,handling. Tata has filled all boxes from design to cabin experience in both cars but unfortunately the one missing and quite crucial piece which needs significant improvement is the engine and maybe somewhat transmission but hey you can make transmission better by a short throw shifter.

Somehow i like cars like these. Sensible, compact, higher ground clearance and headroom, decent power and the best value for money with good safety. Its ok if the punch lacks a kick, that i will get from my bike anyway 😊
Big fan sir! Congratulations for this new YT channel. I am absolutely loving this new way of making automobile videos, looks classy and sophisticated. I can predict this channel will grow like crazy.
The main problem you face with Punch or any other tata cars will be on the service part. Engineers ain't understanding the issues that a customer is experiencing, which leads to worsening the whole customer experience & their car experience. Have seen this multiple times, when the owner complained about the delivery of their new car. The dealers had promised additional things, which will be there at the time of delivery, not just under body coating or rain cover. But none of them were there when the car was delivered. It included even petrol, which they had agreed upon with the owner & the owner got stranded the moment he took the delivery of his new car as there was not even one litre of petrol in the car. The cars getting paint cracks after it's service, like the nexon getting paint cracks near the door handles. Especially a first time car buyer going through such things, are not that appreciated in the market.
the after sales service is why didn't go for tata, as a 1st time car owner. the hassle of dealing with tata's employees and after sales service is something i didn't want. Suzuki may not make safe cars but there is no dealing with people with their cars nor their issues. for a 1st time buyer, peace of mind that the car just works with the occasional but timely service is important. their dealerships are not good either, they don't really entertain if you come for a product that sells well, whereas other manufacturers go out of their way to please you.
@@mg1721 yeah, once you visit any other dealer irrespective of a bike or a car, they collect your phone numbers & try to call you for discussing offers. But this ain't happening with Tata. I had been there multiple times to test drive the Safari, they aint seem to be interested in calling me afterwards. (telling about the normal man's vehicles) My father sold his Maruti Wagon R 6 years ago, even now he gets call from them for discussing their newer models & other emi plans. This is some small things that makes you feel good of owning a car from that manufacturer. Irrespective of how tech loaded or safe a car is. At the end you'll have to deal with them at one point or the other.
@@aravind1264 if this is how they treated you for safari which is the least selling car from their stable, that only tells you how bad their staff is. they only seem to care about the latest product and ignore the rest. their attitude is more like: i don't care, it's you who needs the car, this is the quotation if you like it book it or go away.
Hey Aravind and M G, thanks for diving into this and sharing your experiences. Agreed - the Tata legacy of quality and poor after sales is a stumbling block. I think the 3 year 100,000km warranty tries to address these concerns.
My first option for our first car was to buy a used Ecosport but after Ford left india, I started to look for other options and heard about Punch, took my family for the test drive and they loved it, I wasn't sure at first but after the test drive, I started liking it because of the smooth clutch and driving ergonomics, it wasn't a sporty car but after looking for used cars and good options were around ₹ 5 lakh area, we decided to go with Punch and after 18 months of ownership, I'm happy with Punch more than ever.
I own a Tata Punch. Regarding suspension setup, I do feel Tata Motors engineers have hit a sweet spot where neither does it compromise on the handling front nor does it feel too firm on rough surfaces... Great video... 👍👍👍
You nailed it HPV, rightly said! I did consider this car for a while as a second car but defiantly needs engine upgrade or even EV version will do great on this car! Info system lags, looks outdated, lot of UI estate is wasted...
Amazing video. I have been watching many punch videos lately for the last 2 months.. But I think this is one of the best. I bought punch on 28th Feb 2023 before your video came. But after watching your video I am more happy that I bought it. Keep making such amazing videos. Plus your electric scooter comparison video is also amazing.
Yasss! Have been looking forward to them launching an iTurbo and an EV since months! Apparently it is being tested right now, so fingers-crossed, it might happen this Diwali.
Hey @motorinc, I'm on the hunt for my first car. I won't be driving daily, just for the occasional family trip here and there, as I work from home. I've been eyeing the Tata Punch - do you think it's a good fit, or is there something else you'd recommend? Really appreciate your input, thanks!
Great video …but it would’ve been helpful if you could have mentioned the alternatives that you suggested. Require more videos like these on small cars.
Loved the punch ! Did a test drive… honestly it drives amazing for the city and that’s all that really matters for me. But been hearing a couple of punch cars have caught fire off late which seems quite disturbing 😳 any thoughts on this?
Being a Tata Nexon owner, I totally agree with the Infotainment being old and sluggish. With Tata having jewels like TCS & Tata Elexi in its crown; we all expect a better software experience. Hopefully, the updated infotainment which is already available on new Harrier & Safari hits the spot. 😊
Really high quality video. Great production value. How about a video on the best car for a driving enthusiast in India that's available to buy! (Polo and Abarth Punto not on sale) Something that combines practicality and usability with a powerful engine and great handling and ride dynamics
Hi team @motorinc , this video is about the BS 6 phase ii? Because i am hearing a lot of positive comments about phase ii. More power , engine refinment and milage? Can you pls throw some light?
I recommended a punch to a friend and he wanted a AMT and my only issue was the AMT gearbox it would have been so much better to have a DCT or a D-CVT like the Toyota Raize . Infact a D-CVT goes very well with a 1L Turbocharger too. But all said my friend is a happy Punch owner.
No hill hold assistance in Punch amt yet..Even in new engine update 2023. MS updated all its amt cars with hill hold assistance. So I cancelled Punch Adventure Rhythm AMT ..looking for an amt car with hill hold assistance
Forget about the car it’s all Mr. Kartikeya Singhee who’s a gem in the automotive journalism industry! I have been watching his videos from auto car india , love your work bro! Keep going!!! I watched this video just because of your thumbnail 😂
HPV is a great idea. But you haven't touched up on how much of a difference the new engine has made on the NVH. That would have been nice. My brother in law got one of these a couple of months back, so the old engine. Just wanted to know if he missed out on much.
Hi Team, loving the reboot and new videos. One request, can you please do an honest and brutal review of Skoda Slavia? Would really help for a decision.
Just a few days back I took test drive of new RDE compliant (BS6 Phase 2) engines of Tiago, Altroz and Punch. I think it is the Altroz which is all rounder. considering all the major or minor features a common buyer would need.
❤ the video. Please also do a video on one of the top mid seg SUV Maruti Brezza and share your thoughts …Is it still a good buy in todays date considering the competition or wait for upcoming lineups in 2024
Hi Shumi and Kartikey, You are doing great job on this new channel. I guess, you start your own. One suggestion - your video little bit slow...could you please do it fast as on Power Drift and Zig Wheels. 😁
Just watch it at 1.25x! We understand your feedback but we also have other feedback from people with weaker English who can understand what we’re saying. 😊
Please suggest an comfortable, safer car for family of four. Roads here are bad, lots of potholes, even on highway. Is punch not good on highway at 80-100 kph. Is suspension that stiff at those speed that even undulations on road are felt?
This new style of presenting is more appealing and relaxed than earlier. I am glad you have gone this route. White backgrounds, clear language, ambient lighting in studio, apple style presentation. Good. But please please for sake of originality, don't do much of that text ppt stuff. It feels like a mockup video of a new Apple product. Just fill in with car visuals. It's not that iam a professional car presenter, but i appreciate good car content
I've been driving this car for a few trips with friends recently (my friend owns it) and I've been pleasantly surprised by how smooth it runs. I drive an old Figo which I know Singhee loves but the punch trumps it on ride comfort and cabin experience. It does feel fairly underpowered especially when you travel a lot through the western ghats and that's where I wish it shared the turbocharged engine from the Altroz. Btw, it's a manual and I am not a fan of Tata's AMTS' and this is coming from an ex Tata Motors service advisor. So... Go figure...
We purchased Punch in Nov 21. All positives and negatives you mentioned are spot on. I'm just sad that I couldn't drive it daily because of high fuel prices, but then I bought it only for family travel so daily commute wasn't on my list then, neither is now. Whenever I'm driving it, it's a delightful experience. Car really feels nice for the price. Truly people's car and definitely more car per car. Cherry on top is after sales experience has been nice so far. If you're 6ft3in like me, or taller, what better option do you have at this price?
First of all, Big fan of your work, kudos to both the presentors and the team behind the channel. I just like to share a few owners exeprience as I am owning a TATA Punch. I bought it last month, and clocked it around 1600 in 20 days or so... This is my 6th car, but first new car. Earlier I used to own a TATA Safari 3 ltr, then a TATA Safari Storme, a Fiat punto 1.4 ltr petrol, a swift ( for 2 months ), a Ford ecosport and now the Punch. So I am not a new driver. But the Punch satisfies me with all it offers. In 10.4 lakhs I got the whole car with 5 star safety rating, with a touch screen, semi digital instrument cluster, sun roof, auto headlamp and wipers, hand rests for both driver and co driver and for the back seat also, push button start and the list goes on. To live with it, I am very happy on a daily drive of approx 30 km regularly in city conditions. In and out of the traffic is now easier and drives smoothly. Noise is minimal and vibration is also very less. So experienced drivers will not like it is just a phenomenon. Yes of course, it's not a sports car and doesn't behave like one but I am happy with it as of now.
Sir you forgot an important point. After sales service. Which is horrendous according to forums and users. It also factors in what tata motors need to improve.
Owing a Punch. Been a year. Very happy with the build, cornering stability with minimum roll, braking confidence. Cons would be Poor service support by Tata and missing the punch'ness when crossing 100.
How bad is the aftersale service? I do not think it is Bad enough to be a deal breaker or else Tata sales would have fallen instead of rising....also service quality depends on dealership and not necessarily on brand. You will find horror stories from Maruti, Hyundai, Kia and MG also....
First take this ❤ you earned it. Secondly make videos on daily commuter bikes in 100 to 200cc. With your unique insights. What's bs6 phase 2 doing to your bike? What are the future upcoming changes, if one wants to invest in these bikes? What to drive which gives safety and mileage... ❤❤
Few days back i took a 2022 amt wagon r to mahabaleshwar with 4 adults and 2 kids . I was impressed by its capacity as well as its engine along with gearbox … ur opinion on maruti amt vs tata amt ?
Was that the 1.2 or 1 litre? Even in the Maruti family the way the AMT is tuned is bit different depending on vehicle. Between the two - the Maruti's feel smoother and quicker though.
@@motorinc I've one request.. If it's possible please make a video on Ciaz because i want a perfect analytic video of ciaz with your production touch ... specially those cinematic shots Thanks.
I have completed 11000 on punch almost 80% on highway. I think for highway it is best in case you are not in rush. Stability - mileage is good on Highway.
Interesting video… there is a small market for the ‘HPVs’ among the older folks(read 55+, low involvement driving)- 1. Small city round-about vehicle- only car. 2. Zippy second car (milk runs, temple visits etc). I have been recommending the espresso to friends and family over Kwid and punch.. what are your thoughts?
Spresso is a convenient city car. There are pros and cons for all three. Kwid has better features and design, the Punch is bigger and the safety factor is higher too. Will depend on what the personal preferences are. Also, the new Alto K10 is worth checking out.
What else would make punch better? The infotainment screen from new Nexon harrier and safari would definitely make it better altroz racer engine and as u said DCA instead of AMT
Do you own one? Thanks for the feedback. Brakes, didn't feel like an issue for us. Will double check next time. The Tata factor - now they offer a 3 year 100,000km warranty to tackle those perceptions.
@@motorinc The biggest issue with Tata Motors, right now, is the very hit-and-miss after-sales/service experience. It stops me from recommending these otherwise brilliant cars, over the other plastic, 0-NCAP-star, death traps sold by the dozen. Every time I push people to buy a Tata, they bring this up, and I don't really know what to say. If you guys have any connections with the brand, kindly send this through to them, as I am sure countless Tata Motors owners are too.
Tata service is not bad as made out to be online....moreover every brand will have some bad dealers. The service center problem is they do not wash and polish the vehicles properly and might give it a bit late than promised. On the other hand you see one instances where Maruti was caught red handed where the vehicle was washed and polished perfectly and delivered before time but open inspecting the dashcam it was found that no oil change and mechanical services was done....also there are many stories of new gen Maruti and Toyota vehicles, where service center is not able to diagnose any problem thanks to their complex hybrid system and untrained staff on new technologies, as a result they are sitting in the service center for weeks clueless....
@@motorinc No I don't own one. I used to own a 1st gen swift. Last year August I was in market for a hatch so I have test driven Punch AMT. We liked everything about the vehicle but the brakes just didn't gave us the confidence. The Tata factor is absolutely is true I have experienced it myself in Bangalore but as buyer. I went to a very renowned dealer in Bangalore and took a test drive for Tiago. The vehicle wasn't clean there was clear rusting marks on the boot. The sales person told us the vehicle you will get will be better than this. Test drive vehicles are representative of what we will get if thats not upto the mark I doubt their service. All other dealers from Hyundai, Maruti, Renault from the same area provide neat and clean and brand new cars. Even cars from used cars dealers were in better condition.
I don’t think the solution is a better engine or a better transmission. Though they may help on the occasional out of town trips. But as a city car. The biggest thing that can make this car the best city car is it’s EV counterpart. Which, if all goes well, is just around the corner. The day Punch EV gets launched I’ll Pre book it as soon as I can. Loved the Tiago. Took a test drive and felt it’s perfect to replace our 9 yr old Duster diesel. Just felt like the Tiago lacks character and feels a bit dated. Punch on the other hand will just be the perfect EV.
Coming from Renault Kwid, I want to upgrade my car, confused between Altroz and Punch. I want punchier engine but not worry about potholes and tall speed breakers.
nice video. regarding the cons, i would like to add that in a market where SUV or alleged SUV are meant to look beefy and tough, this looks like tata trying to sell a small hatchback as an SUV and it severely lacks in road presence. i mean, you are spending upwards of 5 lakhs for a car.
Bought a Tata Punch. It REALLY is spacious, much better than Nexxon or any other competion. The safety standard puts you at peace. It is a little less powerful but in the city, you'd never feel, or even in the highway for that matter. You can easily go to 120 kmph. But uphill roads are a no no and really brings out the underpowered side of the Punch.
Hello! It’s a very well engineered car. The lack of features, the price and the limited network are stumbling blocks for buyers. If you can make peace with them, it will be a solid compact car. Any specific queries? Please do let us know. Thank you!

I had been there multiple times to test drive the Safari, they aint seem to be interested in calling me afterwards. (telling about the normal man's vehicles)
My father sold his Maruti Wagon R 6 years ago, even now he gets call from them for discussing their newer models & other emi plans. This is some small things that makes you feel good of owning a car from that manufacturer. Irrespective of how tech loaded or safe a car is. At the end you'll have to deal with them at one point or the other.
@@aravind1264 if this is how they treated you for safari which is the least selling car from their stable, that only tells you how bad their staff is. they only seem to care about the latest product and ignore the rest. their attitude is more like: i don't care, it's you who needs the car, this is the quotation if you like it book it or go away.
@@mg1721 hahaa, yeah I too felt the same. I have dropped the plans for a safari & am thinking of other good options in the market.
Hey Aravind and M G, thanks for diving into this and sharing your experiences. Agreed - the Tata legacy of quality and poor after sales is a stumbling block. I think the 3 year 100,000km warranty tries to address these concerns.
Wow. It's my first video to watch and it's amazing.. Minimalist yet effective.. Do more videos like this also great work. 👌
Thank you so much 😀
I was on the fence to get a punch as a starter car, this video sells it to me, also love the aesthetics 😍, Subbed!!!
Welcome to MotorInc!
I have just gotten addicted to this style of narrative and videos. Great guys and happy Holi. 🙂
Thanks DD! To you too!
I have punch, it's very good on highway. Provide good confidence.
Thanks for sharing.. how long have you had it?
Great video.. love to watch and good presentation... plzz add more reviews
Thank you! We will, any vehicle in particular?
It so difficult to nail such radical journalism with such amazing coordinated team work.
Thanks Aniket! ❤️
Been a delight to see something of this quality in the Indian automotive youtube scene ❤️
More to come! ❤️
this production and content is something else. Congratulations, you guys have successfully differentiated yourself from the crowd. Different league.
Glad you liked it! And thanks for letting us know! ❤️
My first option for our first car was to buy a used Ecosport but after Ford left india, I started to look for other options and heard about Punch, took my family for the test drive and they loved it, I wasn't sure at first but after the test drive, I started liking it because of the smooth clutch and driving ergonomics, it wasn't a sporty car but after looking for used cars and good options were around ₹ 5 lakh area, we decided to go with Punch and after 18 months of ownership, I'm happy with Punch more than ever.
I own a Tata Punch.
Regarding suspension setup, I do feel Tata Motors engineers have hit a sweet spot where neither does it compromise on the handling front nor does it feel too firm on rough surfaces...
Great video... 👍👍👍
Hey Aritra! Glad to hear that. Would you tell us what kind of conditions - surface/speeds? Thanks in advance..
how much onroad sir and whats the efficiency
Waiting for the next ThisConnect. Love the 40 minute layout. Can it be even longer?
It's happening! Unintentionally, they keep on talking.. :-)
bhaisaab, naya channel khol liye aplog! aj hi dekha maine MotorInc ka video... missed you folks!
MotorInc main aapka swagat hai Supratim!
You nailed it HPV, rightly said! I did consider this car for a while as a second car but defiantly needs engine upgrade or even EV version will do great on this car! Info system lags, looks outdated, lot of UI estate is wasted...
Agreed, agreed and agreed!
Amazing video. I have been watching many punch videos lately for the last 2 months.. But I think this is one of the best. I bought punch on 28th Feb 2023 before your video came. But after watching your video I am more happy that I bought it. Keep making such amazing videos. Plus your electric scooter comparison video is also amazing.
Thank you so much for taking time out to put out this message! ❤️
I for one would love a Punch EV! it would sit under the Nexon Ev , May be replacing or along with Tigor EV
That would be super!
Yasss! Have been looking forward to them launching an iTurbo and an EV since months! Apparently it is being tested right now, so fingers-crossed, it might happen this Diwali.
Hey @motorinc, I'm on the hunt for my first car. I won't be driving daily, just for the occasional family trip here and there, as I work from home. I've been eyeing the Tata Punch - do you think it's a good fit, or is there something else you'd recommend? Really appreciate your input, thanks!
dude the video quality is so good that it makes my old computer screen look beautiful.
Haha! Thanks Sneh!
Great video …but it would’ve been helpful if you could have mentioned the alternatives that you suggested. Require more videos like these on small cars.
Thank you so much SB. We will be sharing some videos shortly to answer this query and others too. Look forward to hearing from you Ina few days!
Great job in making this a new category of vehicles *HPV*...really liked this one, I'm gonna use this from now on.
Perfecto!
i never thought my laptop can show me such beautiful images and video, nice coloring
Thanks for that!
Nice video. A totally new experience of watching a Car Review video
Glad you liked it!
Loved the punch ! Did a test drive… honestly it drives amazing for the city and that’s all that really matters for me. But been hearing a couple of punch cars have caught fire off late which seems quite disturbing 😳 any thoughts on this?
Being a Tata Nexon owner, I totally agree with the Infotainment being old and sluggish. With Tata having jewels like TCS & Tata Elexi in its crown; we all expect a better software experience. Hopefully, the updated infotainment which is already available on new Harrier & Safari hits the spot. 😊
That would be perfect. Hopefully it makes its way to the Punch soon!
Dear MotorInc, i love your content it is sublime so is the Punch , I have planned to buy the AMT variant next month.
Thank you for loving our videos. Here's congratulating you in advance.
Up until now most Indian automative channels didn't bring anything new to the plate for the viewer. But my gosh this channel. It's got it all.
Thank you for watching! ❤️
Really high quality video. Great production value. How about a video on the best car for a driving enthusiast in India that's available to buy! (Polo and Abarth Punto not on sale) Something that combines practicality and usability with a powerful engine and great handling and ride dynamics
Give us some options? 😆 we’ll figure out the rest.
@@motorinc Sure. I'd say some good options are - i20 N line, Altroz iTurbo, Honda Amaze, Tata Nexon
Hi team @motorinc , this video is about the BS 6 phase ii? Because i am hearing a lot of positive comments about phase ii. More power , engine refinment and milage? Can you pls throw some light?
I recommended a punch to a friend and he wanted a AMT and my only issue was the AMT gearbox it would have been so much better to have a DCT or a D-CVT like the Toyota Raize . Infact a D-CVT goes very well with a 1L Turbocharger too. But all said my friend is a happy Punch owner.
D-CVT looks like a super solution. And thanks for sharing feedback on the Punch! And the DCT would be super.
No hill hold assistance in Punch amt yet..Even in new engine update 2023. MS updated all its amt cars with hill hold assistance. So I cancelled Punch Adventure Rhythm AMT ..looking for an amt car with hill hold assistance
@@jayakumarm.d5105 Nexon
@jayakumarm.d5105 which one did you buy? Iam confused between Baleno automatic and Punch automatic
Forget about the car it’s all Mr. Kartikeya Singhee who’s a gem in the automotive journalism industry! I have been watching his videos from auto car india , love your work bro! Keep going!!! I watched this video just because of your thumbnail 😂
🤜🏽🤛🏽 Welcome to MotorInc!
What production quality! truly inspirational. Did you guys sit down with UX/UI Guys? :P. Keep Rising!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
HPV is a great idea. But you haven't touched up on how much of a difference the new engine has made on the NVH. That would have been nice.
My brother in law got one of these a couple of months back, so the old engine. Just wanted to know if he missed out on much.
No he hasn’t, the engine is essentially the same with the BS6.2 update. It gets engine start stop additionally.
Hi Team, loving the reboot and new videos. One request, can you please do an honest and brutal review of Skoda Slavia? Would really help for a decision.
Noted! Thank you for the ❤️ and the suggestion!
Just a few days back I took test drive of new RDE compliant (BS6 Phase 2) engines of Tiago, Altroz and Punch. I think it is the Altroz which is all rounder. considering all the major or minor features a common buyer would need.
Won’t disagree with you. The Punch is good for a certain audience as discussed in the video.
❤ the video. Please also do a video on one of the top mid seg SUV Maruti Brezza and share your thoughts …Is it still a good buy in todays date considering the competition or wait for upcoming lineups in 2024
Hi Shumi and Kartikey, You are doing great job on this new channel. I guess, you start your own. One suggestion - your video little bit slow...could you please do it fast as on Power Drift and Zig Wheels. 😁
Just watch it at 1.25x! We understand your feedback but we also have other feedback from people with weaker English who can understand what we’re saying. 😊
I remember praising powerdrift for production quality. the praises are 10 times higher here
Thank you!
Please suggest an comfortable, safer car for family of four. Roads here are bad, lots of potholes, even on highway. Is punch not good on highway at 80-100 kph. Is suspension that stiff at those speed that even undulations on road are felt?
This new style of presenting is more appealing and relaxed than earlier. I am glad you have gone this route. White backgrounds, clear language, ambient lighting in studio, apple style presentation. Good. But please please for sake of originality, don't do much of that text ppt stuff. It feels like a mockup video of a new Apple product. Just fill in with car visuals. It's not that iam a professional car presenter, but i appreciate good car content
Thanks for the feedback! Appreciate it!
Ah! This really helps.
Expect similar informative on my short listed cars - Venue SC(O) DCT, Venue N-Line N6, Sonet DCT… 🙃
Glad it was helpful! Let's see what we can do!
Your videos are nuce wish you reach 100k soon !!
Thank you so much 😀
I've been driving this car for a few trips with friends recently (my friend owns it) and I've been pleasantly surprised by how smooth it runs. I drive an old Figo which I know Singhee loves but the punch trumps it on ride comfort and cabin experience. It does feel fairly underpowered especially when you travel a lot through the western ghats and that's where I wish it shared the turbocharged engine from the Altroz. Btw, it's a manual and I am not a fan of Tata's AMTS' and this is coming from an ex Tata Motors service advisor. So... Go figure...
Thanks for sharing your experience!
Is suspension stiff at 80-100 kph for bad roads or undulations.
Great work guys
Thank you so much 😀
The background 'music' is just at the right levels, please keep it that way.
🖖🏽🤜🏽🤛🏽
Amazing video! Can you please cover your thoughts on xuv400
Can do!
We purchased Punch in Nov 21.
All positives and negatives you mentioned are spot on.
I'm just sad that I couldn't drive it daily because of high fuel prices, but then I bought it only for family travel so daily commute wasn't on my list then, neither is now.
Whenever I'm driving it, it's a delightful experience. Car really feels nice for the price.
Truly people's car and definitely more car per car.
Cherry on top is after sales experience has been nice so far.
If you're 6ft3in like me, or taller, what better option do you have at this price?
Hello NPK! Thanks for sharing your garage update with us! Wish you and the family super motoring! Do let us know if you have any queries. 🙏🏾
So you're saying you're as tall as me and this is very comfortable?
Or asking for better options?
@@rutwikst9815 This is comfortable for me. Also, there weren't any options available when I purchased it in 2021 (except for wagonR)
First of all, Big fan of your work, kudos to both the presentors and the team behind the channel.
I just like to share a few owners exeprience as I am owning a TATA Punch. I bought it last month, and clocked it around 1600 in 20 days or so... This is my 6th car, but first new car. Earlier I used to own a TATA Safari 3 ltr, then a TATA Safari Storme, a Fiat punto 1.4 ltr petrol, a swift ( for 2 months ), a Ford ecosport and now the Punch. So I am not a new driver. But the Punch satisfies me with all it offers. In 10.4 lakhs I got the whole car with 5 star safety rating, with a touch screen, semi digital instrument cluster, sun roof, auto headlamp and wipers, hand rests for both driver and co driver and for the back seat also, push button start and the list goes on. To live with it, I am very happy on a daily drive of approx 30 km regularly in city conditions. In and out of the traffic is now easier and drives smoothly. Noise is minimal and vibration is also very less.
So experienced drivers will not like it is just a phenomenon. Yes of course, it's not a sports car and doesn't behave like one but I am happy with it as of now.
Hello,
I wish you can make a video on compassion on brezza and nexon. I am bit confused between those cars.
Thank you for the suggestion! And for being here!
Sir you forgot an important point. After sales service. Which is horrendous according to forums and users. It also factors in what tata motors need to improve.
Thanks for bringing that up Mihir. Do you have a similar experience? That would be helpful to know.
Which is better tyre for tata punch ...steel rim R15 185/70 or alloys R16 195/60
Owing a Punch. Been a year. Very happy with the build, cornering stability with minimum roll, braking confidence. Cons would be Poor service support by Tata and missing the punch'ness when crossing 100.
How bad is the aftersale service? I do not think it is Bad enough to be a deal breaker or else Tata sales would have fallen instead of rising....also service quality depends on dealership and not necessarily on brand. You will find horror stories from Maruti, Hyundai, Kia and MG also....
First take this ❤ you earned it.
Secondly make videos on daily commuter bikes in 100 to 200cc. With your unique insights. What's bs6 phase 2 doing to your bike? What are the future upcoming changes, if one wants to invest in these bikes? What to drive which gives safety and mileage... ❤❤
Thank you so much for that Gowtham! ❤️ and for the recommendations!
Few days back i took a 2022 amt wagon r to mahabaleshwar with 4 adults and 2 kids . I was impressed by its capacity as well as its engine along with gearbox … ur opinion on maruti amt vs tata amt ?
Was that the 1.2 or 1 litre? Even in the Maruti family the way the AMT is tuned is bit different depending on vehicle. Between the two - the Maruti's feel smoother and quicker though.
This Guy is Too Much to watch!
❤️ U.
♥️
in my entire life ....never seen anything like that on any indian automobile channel
Top of the bar production quality
setting new standards ❤
That’s rock solid encouragement!
@@motorinc I've one request.. If it's possible please make a video on Ciaz
because i want a perfect analytic video of ciaz with your production touch ... specially those cinematic shots
Thanks.
I have completed 11000 on punch almost 80% on highway.
I think for highway it is best in case you are not in rush.
Stability - mileage is good on Highway.
Thanks for sharing!
Interesting video… there is a small market for the ‘HPVs’ among the older folks(read 55+, low involvement driving)-
1. Small city round-about vehicle- only car.
2. Zippy second car (milk runs, temple visits etc).
I have been recommending the espresso to friends and family over Kwid and punch.. what are your thoughts?
Spresso is a convenient city car. There are pros and cons for all three. Kwid has better features and design, the Punch is bigger and the safety factor is higher too. Will depend on what the personal preferences are. Also, the new Alto K10 is worth checking out.
I think turbo with rear wheel drive and sunroof will make it next level
Will make it a different car altogether!
@@motorinc 😁😁😁
If I remember I saw the same car last week at Shree Dutt, Panvel. Was it you guys? because I can definitely see JNPT road and Karanjade in background
Hello!
Love them!!! Thank you
You are so welcome!
Definetly agree that an iTurbo should go under the hood. Enjoyed this :)
Thank you!
What else would make punch better? The infotainment screen from new Nexon harrier and safari would definitely make it better altroz racer engine and as u said DCA instead of AMT
Agreed!
Two factors against this car
1. I felt brakes lack feel and feedback.
2. The Tata factor. I hear horror stories about tata every now and then.
Do you own one? Thanks for the feedback. Brakes, didn't feel like an issue for us. Will double check next time. The Tata factor - now they offer a 3 year 100,000km warranty to tackle those perceptions.
@@motorinc The biggest issue with Tata Motors, right now, is the very hit-and-miss after-sales/service experience. It stops me from recommending these otherwise brilliant cars, over the other plastic, 0-NCAP-star, death traps sold by the dozen. Every time I push people to buy a Tata, they bring this up, and I don't really know what to say.
If you guys have any connections with the brand, kindly send this through to them, as I am sure countless Tata Motors owners are too.
Hmmm...may I add third factor? A family member own a punch and Tata service centre in our region is pathetic. It's frustrating
Tata service is not bad as made out to be online....moreover every brand will have some bad dealers. The service center problem is they do not wash and polish the vehicles properly and might give it a bit late than promised. On the other hand you see one instances where Maruti was caught red handed where the vehicle was washed and polished perfectly and delivered before time but open inspecting the dashcam it was found that no oil change and mechanical services was done....also there are many stories of new gen Maruti and Toyota vehicles, where service center is not able to diagnose any problem thanks to their complex hybrid system and untrained staff on new technologies, as a result they are sitting in the service center for weeks clueless....
@@motorinc No I don't own one. I used to own a 1st gen swift. Last year August I was in market for a hatch so I have test driven Punch AMT. We liked everything about the vehicle but the brakes just didn't gave us the confidence. The Tata factor is absolutely is true I have experienced it myself in Bangalore but as buyer. I went to a very renowned dealer in Bangalore and took a test drive for Tiago. The vehicle wasn't clean there was clear rusting marks on the boot. The sales person told us the vehicle you will get will be better than this. Test drive vehicles are representative of what we will get if thats not upto the mark I doubt their service. All other dealers from Hyundai, Maruti, Renault from the same area provide neat and clean and brand new cars. Even cars from used cars dealers were in better condition.
I don’t think the solution is a better engine or a better transmission. Though they may help on the occasional out of town trips. But as a city car. The biggest thing that can make this car the best city car is it’s EV counterpart. Which, if all goes well, is just around the corner. The day Punch EV gets launched I’ll Pre book it as soon as I can. Loved the Tiago. Took a test drive and felt it’s perfect to replace our 9 yr old Duster diesel. Just felt like the Tiago lacks character and feels a bit dated. Punch on the other hand will just be the perfect EV.
Totally agree - PUNCH EV, like the Nexon EV would be the best iteration. 🤞🏽
must say , very professional looking vid
Thank you!
Coming from Renault Kwid, I want to upgrade my car, confused between Altroz and Punch. I want punchier engine but not worry about potholes and tall speed breakers.
Punch is the better option because of the additional ground clearance. The Altroz's suspension is good for rough roads too though.
nice video. regarding the cons, i would like to add that in a market where SUV or alleged SUV are meant to look beefy and tough, this looks like tata trying to sell a small hatchback as an SUV and it severely lacks in road presence. i mean, you are spending upwards of 5 lakhs for a car.
❤️
What are the options? If not Tata punch? Bigger Hatchback/compact sedan? If you could name a few.
Thankyou! :)
Along with HPV we can also call jacked up hatch or inflated hatch.
JUH, IH? Hard to say out loud .. hehe
Bought a Tata Punch. It REALLY is spacious, much better than Nexxon or any other competion. The safety standard puts you at peace. It is a little less powerful but in the city, you'd never feel, or even in the highway for that matter. You can easily go to 120 kmph. But uphill roads are a no no and really brings out the underpowered side of the Punch.
♥️
I HAVE THIS CAR ,SAME COLOUR ,SAME MODEL AS SHOWN IN VIDEO ,BS 6 PHASE 2 .AMAZING QUALITY ,PERFORMANCE AND LOOK .
♥️
ASMR + Car reviews? I LOVE THIS!
Thank you! ❤️
Happy holi to Motorinc team
Happy Holi to you and the family too!
What do you think by citroen c3? Please reply
Hello! It’s a very well engineered car. The lack of features, the price and the limited network are stumbling blocks for buyers. If you can make peace with them, it will be a solid compact car. Any specific queries? Please do let us know. Thank you!
