Pros and Cons

Citroen Basalt

  • Rear seat space — great kneeroom and foot room. Ample headroom despite sloping roof
  • HUGE 470-litre boot space
  • Will accommodate a whole lot more than just a weekend’s worth of luggage easily.
Tata Punch
  • The Punch is a good mix of a hatchback and an SUV. Impressive cabin quality
  • clever customization options make it even more appealing. New 10.25-inch touchscreen for 2024. Received a 5-star Global NCAP safety rating.
Citroen Basalt
  • Bare basic feature list - Sunroof
  • cruise control
  • push-button start stop are sorely missed; 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine does not feel refined
  • Automatic gearbox is slow to respond.
Tata Punch
  • No diesel engine option. The 1.2L engine lacks the punch for ease of use on highway or when fully loaded.

Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which car is best between Punch and Exter?
  • Punch build quality is good
  • Both cars are good in their own forte. Tata Punch is good for city commutes but out on the highway, it lacks outright power which stops it from being versatile. Other than that it is hard to flaw this impressive car. It is spacious and comfortable, it is pretty well loaded and thanks to the option packs, even the lower variants can be customized to your requirements. On the other hand, the Exter knows its audience well and that makes the job easier for us. It gets a lot of things right, like the cabin experience, space, practicality, comfort, ease of drive, and boot space. And the features list is so good that it will be very hard to beat it in under Rs 10 lakh. The Hyundai Exter’s suspension balance is a sensible one. Given that it is going to spend most of its kilometres in the city, the suspension is set up on the softer side. We drove the Exter over bumpy roads, off the road and on the broken roads – and we can say that the suspension is very balanced. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.
