TATA PUNCH

We've spent the last three months putting 5,000 km on the Tata Punch you see here.

This is the petrol manual in the Smart Camo style package, which we think does just enough for its SUV theme. The white roof and black elements especially make it stand out.

With its size and footprint, the one thing you get used to quickly is that the Punch is quite easy to place in traffic. You have that SUV-like seating position and frontal visibility is good, even with the large blind spots. Yes, a 360-degree camera would have been good, but the rearview camera as it stands is quite clear as far as this price point goes. The steering is not quite precise, but the heft and effort needed didn't tire us on long stints through traffic.
