  • While the Citroen eC3 is longer than the Tata Punch EV, it's the Punch EV that is wider and taller than Citroen's electric hatchback.

  • However, the Citroen eC3 has a longer wheelbase, primarily due to its length advantage over the Punch EV.

Tata Punch EV cabin

  • The Tata Punch EV offers far more creature comforts than the Citroen eC3, and some that are from a segment above.

  • The Punch EV stands out as the only electric micro-SUV of its size to offer amenities such as ventilated front seats and a 360-degree camera.

  • Even the base-spec variant of the Punch EV, priced at Rs 10.99 lakh (ex-showroom), which is Rs 62,000 less than the base-spec variant of the eC3, comes equipped with LED headlights, a cooled glovebox, automatic AC, an air purifier, and multi-mode regenerative braking. Interestingly, these features are not offered even in the top-spec variant of the Citroen eC3, which is priced at Rs 13 lakh.

  • Tata’s micro electric SUV also offers more safety features like 6 airbags and a tyre pressure monitoring system.

  • The French electric hatchback misses out on some important features such as automatic AC and a rear parking camera, now available in cars priced even lower than the eC3.

Verdict

The Tata Punch EV emerges as a more value-for-money option than the Citroen eC3, thanks to its comprehensive features list and longer range options. Even the top-spec trim of the Citroen eC3 has some notable feature omissions, and it lacks any long-range battery option. So which of these electric models are you looking to buy, and why?
