Johannes Gutenberg was born into a noble family of the city of Mainz, Germany. His early training was in goldsmithing. In 1428, he moved to Strasbourg for political reasons, where he remained for over 20 years. It was in Strasbourg that he probably made his first experiments with moveable type. -- Gutenberg had the idea of utilizing techniques of metalworking, such as casting, punch-cutting, and stamping, for the mass production of books. European books at this time were hand written by scribes in a gothic script with many flourishes and ligatures (interconnected letter pairs). To reproduce this "look" Gutenberg fashioned a font of over 300 characters, far larger than the fonts of today. To make this possible, he invented the variable-width mold, and perfected the blend of lead, antimony, and tin used by type foundries up to the present century. -- Many years of Gutenberg's life are lost to history, but by 1450 he was back in Mainz at work on a printing press. Between 1450 and 1455, while preparing to produce a large folio Latin Bible, Gutenberg is thought to have printed a number of smaller books, a calendar, and a papal Letter of Indulgence. The Bible of 42 lines, the oldest surviving printed book in the western world, was completed by August 15, 1456, and while it is now credited to Gutenberg, he appears to have been relieved of his supervisory position, and his press, before the time of its publication. In fact, no printed material was ever credited to Gutenberg during his lifetime. -- Gutenberg is also believed to have worked on the Catholicon of Johannes de Janua, an enormous encyclopedia: 748 pages in two columns of 66 lines each. In later years, he received a position as a courtier to the archbishop of Mainz, and was buried in the town's Franciscan church.

Buying a used Tata Punch: what to look out for

GOOD FOR: Features, Composed road manners

LOOK OUT FOR: AMT gearbox, Infotainment

The Tata Punch created the sub-compact SUV segment when it launched in 2021. The Punch has elevated seating, ample ground clearance, a fairly tough build, adequate space and practicality, and the ability to take on challenging road conditions. So, if you are looking for a used small car that has some of the advantages of an SUV, this deserves to be on your shortlist. Here’s what you need to consider. 

Tata Punch powertrain options

Since launch, the Punch has been powered by a 1.2-litre, three-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine that produces 88hp and 115Nm. It can be had with either a 5-speed manual or an AMT. It features auto engine stop/start to aid fuel efficiency, which results in an ARAI-claimed economy of 18.97kpl for the manual and 18.82kpl for the automatic variants. In August 2023, Tata also introduced CNG variants to the Punch line-up, which uses the same engine but makes a lower 73.4hp and 103Nm. It can only be had with a manual, though. There’s also a Punch EV on sale, but we’ll only be focusing on the ICE version here.

If your usage is going to be only in the city with the rare outstation trip, go for either an AMT or a CNG variant. CNG will give you low running costs if your usage is high, and AMT provides convenience in city traffic. But, if you plan on mixed usage between the city and highway, it’s worth opting for a petrol-manual Punch.

Tata Punch variants, features

At the time of launch, the Tata Punch was available in four basic trims: Pure, Adventure, Accomplished and Creative. As for features, the range-topping Creative trim comes with a 7-inch touchscreen, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity, a rear-view camera, cruise control, two airbags, a 7-inch semi-digital instrument cluster, auto projector headlamps, LED daytime running lights, auto climate control, auto wipers, a rear wiper and washer, and 16-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels. The Tata Punch was also offered with a range of optional customisation packs (like Rhythm Pack and Dazzle Pack) for each trim, which brought in even more features.

Layered dashboard is easy on the eye, and material quality is good, too.

Tata also introduced a few special editions along the way, like the Kaziranga Edition and Camo Edition, which brought in cosmetic differences and some feature additions. A sunroof was also added to the equipment list with the launch of the CNG variants. The top-spec Creative is the one to go for if you want all the features and budget isn’t an issue. Otherwise, you can even opt for one of the mid-spec versions with the additional packs, depending on which features you need.

Tata service centres are widespread across the country, and sourcing spare parts shouldn’t be an issue either. Preferably, look for an example that also has an extended warranty package so you get that additional peace of mind that’s necessary when buying a used car.

What to look out for in a used Tata Punch?

AMT gearbox

 

Although it isn’t common for the AMT gearbox to go wrong, it’s worth inspecting it if you’re buying a two-pedal Punch. Take a test drive and check if the car takes off from a standstill smoothly and without hesitation. Also, ensure that the shifts aren’t very clunky. These are signs of a healthy AMT ’box.

AC cooling

A few owners have faced issues with the Punch’s AC system. Before buying, check if it cools the cabin quickly and effectively, and also look out for any condensation in the front footwell.

Infotainment

Owners have complained about the Punch’s Harman infotainment system crashing abruptly and rebooting on its own, so it’s best to get it inspected before buying. Ensure that your phone pairs seamlessly, the system isn’t laggy, and the software is up to date.

ALSO WORTH KNOWING

The Punch makes for a good family car as it has 90-degree-opening doors that make ingress/egress easy. It has received a 5-star safety rating from Global NCAP for adult occupant protection.

Second hand Tata Punch price, resale value

You can find used examples for anywhere between Rs 4 lakh and Rs 10 lakh, depending on the trim, powertrain and year of manufacture. However, refrain from spending over Rs 7 lakh-7.5 lakh as you’d be better off buying a brand new one. As the Punch received an update recently, you can use that to haggle for a better deal.

Tata Punch EV road test, review

Describing Tata Motors as leaders in the EV space would be putting it mildly. With over a 70 percent share of the EV market last year, the Indian automaker virtually dominated the electric segment. And Tata plans on making sure this continues with the Punch EV in the coming year too. Thanks largely to its micro SUV appeal, the Punch was already a hit, and with the EV powertrain, it’s now the most affordable electric SUV on the market priced between Rs 10.99 lakh-15.49 lakh. So with no direct competition, it’s on the right path to becoming India’s bestselling EV adding to its maker’s massive market share.
 
Available with two battery-motor options, with claimed range figures of 315-421km on a single charge, the EV’s specs are impressive, so we put it through our instrumental road test to find out how it really performs. 
 

It might seem like Tata has replicated the Nexon EV’s winning formula with the Punch, which is a quick swap of all the ICE mechanicals for the electric bits and fitting them into available vacant spaces. However, with the Punch, the ALFA platform that underpins it has undergone a comprehensive re-engineering. It isn’t all new of course, the top hat is largely the same, as is the track, wheelbase, the suspension mounting points and the suspension system itself. But with the monocoque’s floor completely redone to flatten it, and a new electronic and electric (e&e) architecture, Tata Motors has given it a new name calling it the Acti.ev architecture. 

The EV’s centrally mounted battery pack has been integrated into the cabin floor, rather than bolting it underneath the body. As a result, its 190mm ground clearance is identical to the ICE version. With the ICE platform’s floor massively reengineered, it resulted in an increase in structural stiffness over its ICE counterpart too. That aside, the EV gets revised damping and stiffer springs, heavy-duty brake calipers, and the Long Range (LR) version also boasts of rear disc brakes to enhance stopping power and compensate for the EV’s added performance and weight.

The Punch EV gets a heavily restyled front end, which draws inspiration from the updated Nexon EV’s design. In fact, their front styling is so similar that when viewed head on, you could mistake one for the other. Sure, the Punch might have lost a bit of its individuality by adopting a family design face, but t here’s no denying that the Punch EV still commands attention, thanks to its striking new LED DRLs which flank the pilot lamp LED strip running across the bonnet. Tucked behind its blanked-out grille is its charging port, housed behind the Tata logo. It releases electrically via a switch on the centre console but has to be manually closed. An additional button on its key fob would have been much more convenient though.

While its side profile is similar to the outgoing car, thenew 16-inch dual-tone wheels sport a futuristic design. There are multiple EV badges scattered across the car and its tailgate has Punch.EV lettering spelt out. Dimensionally, the Punch EV is 30mm longer and 18mm taller than the ICE version, however, its width, front and rear track as well as its wheelbase, remain unchanged.

Like on the outside, the interior of the Punch EV is similar to the updated Nexon EV. Borrowed from its bigger sibling are its free-standing 10.2-inch touchscreen, a funky two-spoke steering (with an illuminated logo), and a new 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster, all of which add style and a touch of modernity to the Punch’s exuberant interior. Also new is a piano-black panel with touch-operable keys for the climate control. These keys are backlit, and the temperature and fan speed control have physical toggle switches that make it convenient to use; also, this panel lends a very premium, uncluttered look. On the centre console sits a very premium knurled-finish drive selector flanked by drive mode buttons as well as the electronic parking brake and auto-hold button. Like before, contrasting white panels, textured plastics and other materials are carried forward for a rather upmarket look and feel. 

Exuberant and youthful interiors borrow several bits from Punch’s premium stablemates.

While there’s a lot to like, the execution of some bits could be better. As an example, the feature-packed touchscreen often tends to glitch, sometimes while using wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, and also while using the 360-degree camera. Then, the fonts and numbers on the digital instrument cluster are microscopic, which make them difficult to read. The gloss black touch panel for the climate control is a fingerprint magnet. Users will also have to make peace with the slow-shifting drive selector, which can get particularly annoying while trying to make quick three-point U-turns. 

An upright driving position and the seat ventilation feature enhance seating comfort. Further, the low window line, flat bonnet and large outside mirrors ensure outside visibility is very good. Elderly folk will appreciate its easy ingress and egress thanks to doors that open up to 90 degrees and the raised seating.

Visibility all around is excellent thanks to its high-set front seats.

Despite being smaller than the regular crop of compact SUVs, the Punch’s excellent space management liberates respectable space for adults at the back. The backrest, however, is quite upright, the chair-like position is comfortable and there’s ample room beneath the front seat to tuck your feet. Unlike other EVs, you don’t sit in a ‘knees-up’ position, and thanks to its long seat squab, thigh support is plenty. 

Chair-like rear seat is very supportive and foot room is good too.

Interestingly, to accommodate its battery, Tata engineers have raised this EV’s cabin floor by 20mm. It is because of this reason, six-footers are likely to find headroom a bit restrictive and this issue is exacerbated in sunroof-equipped cars, which have lower roof liners.

The Punch EV has a larger 366-litre boot compared to its ICE counterpart’s 319 litres. This added space comes at the cost of a spare wheel, which Tata has skimped on in the EV, and owners will have to make do with a puncture repair kit provided with the car. There is a small frunk too, which is well shaped and is a nifty solution to store additional, smaller items.

At 366 litres, the boot is large, but it doesn’t get a spare tyre

The freestanding 10.3-inch touchscreen is vibrant and stuffed with features and apps.The range-topping Empowered +S LR variant gets nearly as much equipment stuffed in as a top-spec Nexon EV, only missing out on vehicle to vehicle (V2V) and vehicle to load (V2L) charging. So equipment like a sunroof, a crisp 360-degree camera, lane-view monitor, ventilated front seats, an electronic parking brake with auto hold, an air purifier, auto LED headlamps and wipers, an auto-dimming rear view mirror and a  wireless charger are all part of the spec. As mentioned, it also gets  a 10.2-inch feature-packed touchscreen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, in-built Alexa voice assistant, connectivity features and the cabin’s sound experience is enhanced by an 8-speaker setup. For an otherwise very well equipped car, the Punch EV misses AC vents and charging provisions for rear passengers. 

The freestanding 10.3-inch touchscreen is vibrant and stuffed with features and apps.

 

In its electric guise, the Punch finally lives up to its name, something which sadly doesn’t hold true for its three-cylinder petrol version. The Punch EV comes in two versions – standard and Long Range (LR). The former gets a 25kWh battery and an 82hp/114Nm electric motor, while the LR gets a larger, 35kWh battery and a more powerful 122hp/190Nm electric motor, and we’ve tested the latter. Being its fourth EV offering, Tata has really mastered the art of fine-tuning them, making the electric Punch one of thesmoothest and perhaps the most refined car to roll out of Tata Motors, EV or otherwise. 

Drive the Punch EV for a few metres and you’ll immediately notice its progressive power delivery, very tame though by the snappy EV style. Tata claims to have intentionally blunted the motor’s responses in the interest of comfort so that newer drivers or those switching from ICE vehicles aren’t caught off-guard by its sudden acceleration. As a result, you don’t feel any neck-flexing thrust, each time you flex your right foot.

On offer are three drive modes – Sport, City and Eco. In fact, the latter two perform very similarly, with the motor delivering only about 60 percent of max torque. Despite the restricted output, both Eco and City mode feel adequate for a majority of the driving, thanks to the EV’s inherent instant response. What differentiates Eco and City mode are the vehicle’s top speed, which is limited to 115kph in the former and 132kph in the latter (as per our GPS measured speed test), respectively.

But for spirited driving, it is the third mode that’s the one to dial up. Sport mode unleashes the full potential of this EV, delivering the entire 190Nm of torque. While it gathers pace rapidly, the measured power delivery robs away the drama to some extent, which might disappoint thrill-seeking driving enthusiasts. That said, progress is rapid, with the Punch EV sprinting to 100kph from a standstill in just 9.4 seconds in Sport mode, which is 4.2 seconds quicker than in the other modes, both of which go from 0-100kph in 13.6 seconds. 

Right paddle increases the regen intensity, while left one reduces it.

Like its other EVs, Tata has included three levels of regenerative braking in the Punch EV, with Level 3 being the most aggressive and an option to turn off this feature as well. These modes can be selected independently to the drive modes. Level 1 feels most natural in its operation, wherein it reduces speed in a gradual, predictable manner, akin to engine braking in an ICE vehicle. Level 2 is about 1.7 times more aggressive than Level 1, but it is still quite usable and easy to get accustomed to. Level 3 is said to give 0.18g of deceleration, and in the real world, it feels roughly 2.5 times stronger than Level 1, akin to depressing the brake pedal with some force. It’s simply too strong for everyday use and we would recommend this only when descending steep slopes so that you come down in a controlled manner while harvesting energy. There’s no one-pedal functionality and the car only slows down to crawling speeds using regenerative braking; it doesn’t come to a standstill.

For our range test, we drove the car as per our standards: so in Eco mode regen was set to its maximum setting in the city, and mid setting on the highway. In the city, this levied a huge penalty on its efficiency, as the car slowed down far more and earlier than expected thanks to the strong level 3 regen. This warranted a longer time spent on the accelerator pedal robbing it of charge. Of course, outside temperatures nudging 40 degrees made the climate control work hard to maintain a cool cabin temperature. As a result, the Punch EV’s average city efficiency was only 5.43km/kWh. However, repeating the test with regen set at the mid setting (level 2), felt more natural in its operation and we achieved an average city efficiency of 6.92km/kWh, extrapolating to a real world range of 242km and on the highway we achieved 6.17km/kWh, translating to a range of 216km.

Located at the front, its charging flap releases electrically.

The Punch gets a single CCS2 charging port, which is the industry standard. The company claims that on a DC fast charger, the battery can be topped up at a maximum speed of 25kW taking it from 10 percent to 80 percent in 56 minutes; not very fast by modern EV standards. To put it to the test, we plugged it into a 60kW DC fast charger and charged its battery from 15-100 percent. In the process it consumed 31.99kWh of energy, took about 99 minutes to complete and averaged a charging speed of 19.5kWh. However, it is worth noting that beyond 90 percent, the battery management system (BMS) automatically reduces the charge rate for cell balancing and SOC calibration, in the interest of the battery’s health.

The Punch EV is also available with a 3.3kW portable charger – good for charging wherever you have to use 15A plug. Top variants also get a 7.2kW AC fast charger that can be installed in your home or office. 

The Punch EV’s chassis is 30 percent stiffer than that of its ICE counterpart, and a key contributor to this additional torsional rigidity is the battery pack itself, which acts as a stressed member. Further, with a rigid chassis, Tata engineers were at liberty to use a softer damper setting for improved ride comfort, without compromising body control and stiffer springs – than the ICE version – to compensate for the LR EV’s 1,360kg weight; 325kg heavier than the top-spec Punch AMT. 

The EV’s ride feels supple and it tackles bad roads with great finesse.

When it comes to ride comfort, Tata has nailed the suspension tune. Softer dampers have made the ride more supple, and while the ICE version always felt confident over bad and broken roads, the EV does it with a bit more finesse. On the flipside, it does roll more than its petrol-powered counterpart, however, with its heavy battery sitting beneath the cabin floor resulting in a low center of gravity, the EVs tyres feel planted to the tarmac. Infusing confidence further is its steering feel with a very fluid, predictable nature. What’s nice, particularly for newer drivers, is that it doesn’t feel overly pointy or sharp like some other Tatas, and there’s just the right amount of slack in the straight-ahead position.

Lastly, the Punch EV LR gets all-wheel disc brakes and has a natural pedal feel. And what’s nice is that its braking performance in a panic brake test from 80-0kph is identical to its over 300kg lighter ICE counterpart. Notably, in regen Level 3, you can feel a distinct transition from the regen braking of the motor to the friction brakes. There’s a nifty ‘auto hold’ feature that adds a degree of convenience while halted; however, you will hear a distinct grinding sound each time you depress the accelerator to start moving.

As an urban runabout, the Punch EV has all the right ingredients – a smooth powertrain, compact dimensions, a pliant ride, and to top it off, an expansive features list that will appeal to new-age techy EV buyers. Furthermore, performance is strong, the real-world (combined) range of about 230km on a full charge is respectable, and those transitioning from an ICE car will feel at home behind the wheel of this EV. There are, of course, shortcomings. To begin with, the software is infested with glitches, something that Tata must iron out, considering this is the company’s fourth EV. Then, Tata’s sales and support experience is hit or miss, which will be instrumental in shaping the buying and ownership experience. And lastly, the price of the top variants of the Punch EV overlap with lower variants of the Nexon EV, the latter being larger, more spacious and with more power and torque to boot. But look again at the Punch EV’s merits and its extremely impressive as a package. And as a city car, it doesn’t get better than this.

Tata Punch EV long term review, 7,000km report

I like big, flashy, ostentatious cars just as much as anyone else, but let’s be real. I live in Mumbai, where commutes are more accurately measured in time, not distance. The streets are small and crowded, traffic moves at a wheel-to-wheel crawl, and when it rains, the road surface starts to resemble Normandy Beach on D-Day. To tackle the first two obstacles, a small car is best, preferably an electric one that doesn’t emit fumes whilst it’s stuck in traffic. That’s why I loved our long-term MG Comet so very much. The latter issue, however, is best tackled with an SUV; something even an ardent sedan aficionado like myself will concede. Enter the Punch EV, which, in its first month alone – an arduous one during peak monsoon – has managed to fulfil that very specific list of requirements.

Ride quality is on par with SUVs two segments above.

Okay, it’s a size or two up on the Comet, but that’s not to say it’s large; it feels noticeably more compact than even the Nexon EV we ran in our fleet last year. You pay the price in the back seat, which doesn’t feel as spacious as even the Comet’s (one of the benefits of the MG’s boxy design and skateboard platform). But since I rarely have passengers, this is no bother. What’s most important is its small footprint in a traffic jam, and the ease with which you can park it just about anywhere in Mumbai. On that last point, I find myself relying more on the large rear-view mirrors, as the rear camera quality isn’t sharp. Its feed regularly fails, and during the monsoon, it’s often quickly caked in muck kicked up by the tyres.

Got a Critical Alert error, but it reset on its own.

With a potent 122hp in such a tiny package, performance feels almost excessive. While it was initially fun watching other motorists’ looks of surprise as a Punch scurried away from them when the lights turned green, these days I find myself staying away from Sport mode because it’s simply too strong for crowded city environs, and flooring it can cause alarming wheelspin. While Eco mode isn’t overtly dull, I’ve come to prefer City (or Normal) mode, which just feels a bit more effortless. What’s more, I’ve been playing around with the adjustable regen, done via paddle shifters behind the steering wheel; very premium. The ideal mix I’ve settled on for around town is City drive mode and Level 2 regen, which I think complement each other well. It also helped contribute to city efficiency of 6.9km/kWh, which translates to a potential 240km from its 35kWh battery.

Features list exceeds expectations for the class.

While I like that they’ve moved to the upmarket paddle-style regen mode selection, I’m disappointed they went back to the rotary dial for the gear selector; the Nexon EV has since moved on to a smart monostable lever. Yes, it’s cool that a colour screen shows you what drive state you’re in, but the shift is still slow and sometimes doesn’t happen at all. You have to look down to see if you’re in D or R every time – a huge frustration in the heat of the moment while making a three-point turn on a busy street, as I have to do it daily to get into my home. Moreover, we too experienced the ‘EV System Critical Alert’ error message, which is a known issue in Tata EVs. While the vehicle started up just fine, it would not lock, although the error subsequently disappeared on its own. Nonetheless, Tata was quick to collect the car for inspection. It’s also really annoying that the car alarm goes off if you exit the vehicle with the key, even for a few seconds while the car’s running, like to shut a gate, for example. My neighbours aren’t fans. 

Rotary drive selector is slow and erratic in operation.

But these are all things I’d be prepared to learn to work around for the overall package the Punch EV delivers. I’ve mentioned the powertrain already, but the ride quality is something that has to be experienced to believe. Forget compact SUVs, it’s safely on par with midsize SUVs two classes above, and the little Punch just crushes monsoon potholes without flinching. Then there’s the features list, which is so vast, you’d think Tata would’ve saved some stuff for its more expensive EVs. In fact, at the recent Curvv EV launch, I couldn’t help but chuckle when I realised most of its features were available in the Punch EV, too. 360-degree cameras with blind-view monitoring? Ventilated front seats? A sunroof? Connected tech? LED lighting? You don’t expect any of this in a sub-compact SUV.

Returned a very efficient 143wh/km or 6.9km/kWh.
 
There’s a lot more to talk about, so stay tuned for more reports in the coming months. For now, this seems like the perfect mix of compact and SUV, with the added bonus of electric power for the urban grind.
