Tata Punch EV vs Citroen eC3: Here's which electric car offers more bang for the buck
Tata Motors, a key player in the electric passenger vehicle market, is set to strengthen its position with the launch of the Punch EV. This new model, which directly competes with the Citroen eC3, recently made its debut, making it the smallest electric SUV in India. Let's compare these two rivals and see how they stack up against each other.
In terms of design, both cars are electric versions of their existing internal combustion engine counterparts. The Punch EV, however, comes with significant upgrades over its ICE sibling. It features a refreshed design, including a LED light bar inspired by the Nexon, split LED headlights, and a silver faux skid plate. Additionally, it is equipped with Y-shaped brake lights, a roof spoiler, and a uniquely redesigned bumper at the rear. On the other hand, the eC3 remains almost identical to the Citroen C3, with the only noticeable difference being the 'EV' badge and green number plate.
Moving on to features and interiors, the Punch EV outshines the Citroen eC3. While the eC3 offers limited features like a 10.2-inch touchscreen display with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the Punch EV boasts an array of impressive features. These include ventilated seats, a new steering wheel from the Nexon with an illuminated logo, auto headlights and wipers, TPMS, an air purifier, and a 360-degree camera with blindspot monitoring. It also comes with full-width LED DRLs like the Nexon and a fully configurable TFT instrument screen.
