Frunk Space, Boot Space, Cabin Space
Wide 90-degree opening doors allow an easy ingress for even elderly people. Once inside, the cabin space is comfortably adequate for four adults. However, because the car isn’t particularly wide, trying to squeeze a third passenger onto the rear bench will definitely be a tight fit.
Plus, we do miss AC vents at the back. What’s also a highly irritating quirk is the lack of load sensors for the rear seatbelts; the warning chime will ring incessantly for a couple of minutes even when the rear seat is completely empty.
Where the Punch EV impresses back is in cargo capacity. While cabin width isn’t lavish, the car boasts a genuinely generous 366-litre boot that easily swallows weekend luggage. Under the hood, Tata has also carved out a neat little 14-litre frunk, which is perfectly sized to hold your portable charging cables, avoiding any clutter in your main boot.
Headroom, Sitting Posture, Under-thigh support
Comfort up front is excellent. The seats offer solid all-around support, and you sit high up with a commanding view out over the bonnet.
Moving to the rear, the seat cushioning is well-judged. Crucially, Tata’s clever battery packaging underneath the floor means there is still decent under-thigh support, and passengers don’t suffer from that awkward, knees-up seating posture that we have seen on so many other electric vehicles on the market today.
