  • The Punch EV's top-spec Empowered Plus S variant also includes the Arcade.ev app suite. With this feature, you can not only access numerous OTT shows but also play various games directly on the infotainment screen. It's important to note that this feature only functions when the car is stationary.

  • However, the Tigor EV gets an 8-speaker sound system while the Punch EV has a 6-speaker setup only.

  • Both EVs also get automatic AC, but the Punch EV also features ventilated front seats.

  • Though both EVs come with multiple braking regeneration modes, the Punch EV additionally gets paddle shifters to switch between different levels of regeneration.

  • When it comes to safety, the Punch EV again comes out as a better package as it gets 6 airbags and a 360-degree camera with blind spot monitoring, both of which are not present in the Tigor EV’s top-spec variant.

Final Takeaway

While both Tata Punch EV Empowered Plus S MR (Medium Range) and Tata Tigor EV XZ Plus Lux are feature loaded, the Punch EV is a much more value for money option as it provides much more than the Tigor EV at a premium of just Rs 4,000, with all of it packaged in an SUV body style. However, if you still prefer a sedan body style in an EV, you can opt for the Tata Tigor EV, which is also decently equipped with features such as a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system, 8-speaker sound system, auto AC, dual front airbags, and rear parking camera. Also, not to forget, the variants mentioned here of both the EVs have a similar battery pack with an identical claimed range figure.
