As a first-time car buyer, it’s best to go for a model that is easy to drive and maintain. Given our traffic conditions, especially in Bengaluru, where you reside, a compact SUV with a high-seating position is best for threading through traffic.
If you can set up a home charger at your residence or office, an electric car is ideal. Not only are EVs easy to maintain and have very low running costs, but the characteristics of an electric motor make them the easiest cars to drive. You don’t have to worry about gears, hesitation from the engine or gearbox. Instead, you get instant response and smoothness that no combustion engine car can match.
The facelifted Tata Punch EV, which is compact, has a high seating position and good all-around visibility makes the most sense for you.
