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 !

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

The production level, colors, my god effing reflections on the car - I'm just in love with the channel's content. This is just next level!

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.

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 😍

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.

HPV sounds good.

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.

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.

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.

This channel has absolutely amazing production quality. Surprisingly, even autocar can't make such well made videos.

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❤️

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.

First time seeing instructions pop up while trying to comment - "share openly, freely, politely". This Attention to detail in creating a positive eco system for social media interaction speaks volumes. Standards are indeed high and so is the host it seems 🤣and i'm loving it💓. I can see this channel growing and looking forward to being part of this fan community.

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... 👍👍👍

Oh Man!!!! I could see this channel is heading on the track for a bang 💥 The experience you provide is mind-blowing ❤️

I have punch, it's very good on highway. Provide good confidence.

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.

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 😊

I just love the quality of the content. I don't mean the videography or the script( which is great btw) but the easy and honest way that this channel produces content. They just speak hard-core truths whether it's good or bad and I dare say if all the manufacturers can take these criticisms and tweak things, instead of paying people to say good things, the world would be a much much better place.

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.

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 was on the fence to get a punch as a starter car, this video sells it to me, also love the aesthetics 😍, Subbed!!!

Would LOVE such a high-quality video for Nexon as well - afterall, it's been among highest selling for quite a while

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.

I for one would love a Punch EV! it would sit under the Nexon Ev , May be replacing or along with Tigor EV

I have just gotten addicted to this style of narrative and videos. Great guys and happy Holi. 🙂

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...

It so difficult to nail such radical journalism with such amazing coordinated team work.

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.

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.

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.

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 😂

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?

bhaisaab, naya channel khol liye aplog! aj hi dekha maine MotorInc ka video... missed you folks!

dude the video quality is so good that it makes my old computer screen look beautiful.

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. 😊

this production and content is something else. Congratulations, you guys have successfully differentiated yourself from the crowd. Different league.

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...

Been a delight to see something of this quality in the Indian automotive youtube scene ❤️

I remember praising powerdrift for production quality. the praises are 10 times higher here

Great video.. love to watch and good presentation... plzz add more reviews

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.

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.

I HAVE THIS CAR ,SAME COLOUR ,SAME MODEL AS SHOWN IN VIDEO ,BS 6 PHASE 2 .AMAZING QUALITY ,PERFORMANCE AND LOOK .

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.

Great work guys

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?

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.

Definetly agree that an iTurbo should go under the hood. Enjoyed this :)

I think turbo with rear wheel drive and sunroof will make it next level

Waiting for the next ThisConnect. Love the 40 minute layout. Can it be even longer?

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.

I bought Tata Punch Adventure Rhythm Manual Transmission Feb 12, 2022. The piece delivered to me is having issues of squeaking sounds from the door just before covering 1000 km, went to dealer they changed the beading and again the same sound, It lags in second gear and not giving me confident in overtaking in Rural roads, again took it to dealer they said that the delay in pick up for 3 to 5 seconds upon pressing the accelerator pedal is normal laughed and did first free service, Again took the car for some ECM module issue, the car gave me more mileage in City mode(20 km/ltr) and very less in Economy mode (14.7km/ltr), again service center said its software issue, Did Re-aptation kind of stuff and still same problem persists. I was informed by service center that Punch customers often complaining the squeaking sounds from doors and thus Tata has introduced a modified Beading for the frames and i am taking car for replacing for second time. Regarding the Lag in second gear and sometimes putting accelerator pedal to fullest my Punch is hesitating for 8 seconds to respond and produce the equal amount torque i required to climb, so i have to shift to 1st gear and then to second, poor service person told me to use only 1st gear in climbing hills like Tirupathi ( wherein my old A-Star climb the same in 3rd gear too). I demanded for the replacement of complete ECM unit but they are pushing for software update only, i did that too but no use, Even in quarter tank of petrol it starts to show low fuel and the indicator will go off later on (wiered). There was a beep sound (radio tuning kindoff sound) coming continuously from just above rear left wheel they replaced the fuel pump but no use..i am used to ride it with songs played all the time in my car wherein i love to go just with cabin sound in rural roads. As of now no issues has been sorted out and some sounds from dashboard, fuse box , as of now i have covered less than 9000km.. Only satisfaction is riding comfort is very very good, confident inside car, 19km/liter in city mode ( a malfunction in ECM is doing soo). One day after taking reverse the car didn't responded to go forward, accelerator went dead.. i switched off the car and then it got resolved, In the logs of ECU module service person said he didn't find any error codes and car is fine.. god only knows what these guys are hiding.

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.

Which is better tyre for tata punch ...steel rim R15 185/70 or alloys R16 195/60

i never thought my laptop can show me such beautiful images and video, nice coloring

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.

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.

These videos are fantastic. So calm and so much information. Please keep this standard going forward.

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

Punch is best in value. It is great to drive in city and not at all bad in highways. I am a happy customer

I like the term HPV. Just look at what all is sold as SUV...

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

HPV - Human Papilloma Virus - Why did I immediately think of this.

I'm not interested in the Punch still here I'm because of the Quality of the content 😩❤️. Beautiful Narration and Production Quality. I have endlessly seen all of your videos since the beginning of the channel just because how calm and relaxed they're. Keep up the good work ❤️

HPV is so on point! Thats an acronym purist has been waiting for.

What production quality! truly inspirational. Did you guys sit down with UX/UI Guys? :P. Keep Rising!

HPV reminds of MPV, whereas micro-SUV reminds quite obviously of an SUV! And Punch literally even looks like a mini or micro Harrier. It just makes more marketing sense to call it a micro-SUV, rather than calling it an HPV. So my vote is NO :(

Wow. It's my first video to watch and it's amazing.. Minimalist yet effective.. Do more videos like this also great work. 👌

Nice video. A totally new experience of watching a Car Review video

in my entire life ....never seen anything like that on any indian automobile channel Top of the bar production quality setting new standards ❤

Very therapeutic video. Nice I'm in love with this kind of content... Keep doing more videos will love to watch. Good luck.

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.

HPV is the right defination of most of vehicle these days.

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! :)

Hi time , we create this category. HPV sounds good.

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?

iTurbo in Punch will be great. Punch provides more space than Ignis, i10 and provides more stability on High Roads.

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?

Dear MotorInc, i love your content it is sublime so is the Punch , I have planned to buy the AMT variant next month.

I was interested in it but after I drove it I found it's engine is rough and the backseat experience was average due to upright seat back... Hence I went for the hyundai nios 2023..which offered better value for money and excellent seating comfort both front and rear seat

I have Tata Altroz petrol, one thing I would say is person driving has to change his/her driving style if coming from Maruti or hyundai. Also as Kartikeya said punch has better tuned engine than the Altroz but still more or less same.. not for enthusiast driving pleasure. I am getting 12-13 kmpl in city and on highway 18+ (driving around 90 kmph) Let me know if anyone has any queries

Quality of video is definitely up there, but it lacks a very crucial element, music.! Certain seamless sfx could’ve been added to make the video pop more.

Your videos are nuce wish you reach 100k soon !!

Punch is an amazing package with quality and comfort and makes it feel premium overall in drive quality. Engine is well performing and provides a smooth and efficient drive.

I prefer the design of the Punch over the Nexon but that's where it ends. It really needs the iTurbo and the DCA to be a strong option, borderline irresistible 😊 HPV is apt but we need something more catchy, can't think of one though so HPV it is.

This Guy is Too Much to watch! ❤️ U.

The background 'music' is just at the right levels, please keep it that way.

HPV, the exact word that should be used nationwide!!!

Great job in making this a new category of vehicles *HPV*...really liked this one, I'm gonna use this from now on.

Recently drove the Tata Punch AMT and this is what I liked and disliked about the car. What I liked : Excellent view of the road from the driver's seat. Easy to get hold of the car's dimensions that way. Quite the looker. Well built. Spot on suspension setup. Neither too soft, nor too hard. Confidence inspiring ride dynamics, feels very planted on corners and such. High GC is a boon on our broken roads. Headlight setup is quite good. What I disliked : Lame engine + confused AMT. That engine is best suited for the Tiago. This car needs the ITurbo engine, period. Stomping the gas pedal elicits no response, and the engine takes its own time to get up and going. Having experienced a MS AMT, I find the Tata AMT loosely calibrated. The interiors though well put, has some rough edges that could be ironed out with some stricter QC. The masses however would barely notice these, as their priorities are well met. Nuff said.

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!

Fantastic car But a lil boring Hence went ahead with the C3 Turbo which is just a drivers’ delight and oozes with character

absolutelycorrect to point out that Punch does require the iTurbo engine and the newer automativ transmission. would love to buy as a first car if it comes pack with iTurbo and CNG dual tank tech . Please TATA launch it ASAP

I own punch accomplished, its a damn good car 🎉
