Hyundai Exter vs Tata Punch - Best Micro SUV? 

Team Exter or Team Punch?

It's not about SUV , Indian public need good ground clearance because of our road conditions and convince to run in rural areas

I have driven punch 24000 km with AC Mileage in city 12-14 kmpl On highway 20-21 @ 80 kmph Never faced any overtaking issue with four passengers with Ac.

👍🏻thumbs up for Hyundai for including dashboard cam. It should be compulsory for every vehicle.

Punch is my first car. Yes, there is some lag with the engine, but not bad. I drove 2200 km covering Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra, Telangana, all kinds of roads. As a new driver without any discomfort I was able to do long drives, particularly Highway experience was really good. There are other cars comes with better engines for sure, but TATA built quality is your insurance.

Hyundai Exter with 1.2 lit 4 Cylinder Kappa engine way ahead of Punch's 1.2 3 cylinder engine. Hyundai Engine is butter smooth, excellent throttle response.

2 min silence for the car that started it all - Premier Rio!

Exter beautifully finished , Sound system is good. Though dimension is small but once you see and get inside the car , it is quite spacious. Fit and finishes are excellent.

Hello Vikas sir, great stuff as always. A suggestion to video editing team - since you are switching between the two cars very frequently, please insert a stamp or something on the screen which shows the car currently on display. Often Vikas sir's speech is not clear on which car he is talking about at the moment. This can be overcome by better presentation during video edits.

very accurate and honest review....I have been a I10 user since last 14years...clutch hardness is an issue and I had changed clutch plate twice till now and the car is only 55000 km run.

Damn! This review seemed so non biased, great one. I'm new to the channel, this was the first video I've seen from your channel, loved that you were very honest and did not suck up one particular brand. Subscribing for more to come.

Overall Exter appeals more. But our area Hyundai's Dealer has awful records of 'after sales service' thats why many, despite liking Exter much, would turn away and opt for Punch.

Again a clear pick from your end. We are expecting more comparison videos actually requesting in the coming time in each and every segment, because you straight away tell us your genuine pick on the overall comparison of cars whereas other youtubers still put on us to decide which car to buy after watching 30-40 mins of video which is very frustrating in the end. I hope icn is reading our comments. Thank you

Your reviews have evolved with time. Your flow is much more natural now. Very genuine n unbiased review. Keep it up 👍

Both cars have there own positives and negatives. Punch comes with 5 star safety rating and sitting position is like mini SUV. Exter gives you premium interior with more features and refinement. Sitting position is not like SUV but little better than i10nios. I took test drive of Exter recently and I doubt it will get 4 or 5 star max to max 3 star.

One more thing in terms of interior pocket space that you maybe missed is that Punch has additional slot in the front doors for umbrella with proper water drainage as well. I am thinking that's not present in Exter at all.

"The main reason people buy SUV in India is of course Ground clearance. I myself drive a Tiago, which is a hatchback. But recently I got to drive a Harrier which is a really good SUV and also Maruti S-presso. So two completely different segments cars. But one common thing I noticed is very low road noise in both car cabins. That is due to the big gap between wheel and the wheel arches. All hatchback and sedan owners know how irritating road noise becomes on long journeys due to the tire being in very close proximity to the body of the car. The constant road noise makes your brain tired. Journey becomes less enjoyable because of this. I will upgrade to a SUV because of only one reason and that is a less noisy cabin."

SUV ka matlab he badal dia .. Indian automobile market ne. Alto ko v uucha karke SUV bana de ye log 😢

For SUV terminologies I think credit goes to our roads especially after monsoon rains

I was seriously waiting for this. Thanks for making one first

Best review till now. Thank you. Please do continue good work ❤

You should have compared the new Punch, It is way more smoother than before. And it is not fair to compare a 23K driven Punch with a brand new Exter.

Nice work.. I will wait for facelift/Next Generation of Punch to come. Let's see what they have to offer now. I expect Hill Assist, Paddle Shifter, Rear AC Vents, Driver Arm Rest, and a Small Turbo in some variants to make make it overcome the power issue and give Punch to TaTa Punch.. I have been using Hyundai Santro XL 2005 model, driven only 46,000 km till now. Now have to replace it as registration can be extended once only and that has been done..

damn what a review. i just loved it and congratulations, you earned a new subscriber :)

It's been 14 months I have been driving punch and yes! it definately feels laggy in its initial pick up and doesn't feel smooth and punchy while driving in city specially during overtaking. U have to literally plan a lot before overtaking. Other cars will pass by your side while u will still be struggling to gain the pace. It is not for the driving enthusiasts. But! but! but! once u gain momentum!! Its super smooth like butter until unless u apply brakes and then again start gaining the pace. It is very stable, excellent suspension setup and comfortable for long journey On Highway(Lucknow-Agra expressway) it gave me 24kmpl at 80km/h and 17 kmpl at 120km/h. In city it is giving 11-13 kmpl. The more consistently u drive with light weight on accelerator the better mileage it will give. Once u start exploiting it.. it will start exploiting the petrol very harshly.

my vote goes for exter anyday .....for its premium luxuries interior and functions

@icn studio......❤❤❤ love all videos and proper Hindi with explanation of each possible feature of cars 🙂👍🏻👍🏻

Excellent review and comparison 👍🏻 Thanks!

If Exter gets 4 stars, I will buy it immediately because its fully loaded, and hudai engines are also good.

Should have used the 2023 BS6 phase 2 Punch for the comparison , you would've been surprised by the initial torque and refinement of the new punch.

outstanding review, salute to your work!

Iss se behetar, comparision video in dono caro ka nahi aa sakta. Such a geniune, full of truth video. Aur bhai ne punch me CHATRI wala kya shandaar punch mara...

The conclusion of this video is very pertinent. These are not SUVs but hatchbacks with a better ground clearance. That is why I like Vikas because he doesn't shy away from calling a spade, a spade. 👍🏼

Hi, can we put 16 inch alloys in Exter? Your answer would be appreciated. Thank you!

For 400Km One side with 120-140 Speed, I got 16kmpl mileage in Tata Punch. And Usually, I get 20Kmpl for 90-100 Speed. Both Figures for: Ac On and with 4-5 members

This man comes with Always Interesting videos..

Good morning sir 🙏. I am concerned about the suspension of exter as on sitting in the rear seat the cladding seems to touch the wheels. Kindly do let me know if it's a problem or not. Will it cause any problems in the future. Please comment.

Hyundai is Making Car since 1967, where as Tata Motors is relatively new player. Efforts taken by Tata Motors to make safe cars are really appreciate. Tata Motors must improve the quality of material (Specially Interior). ABS plastic looks poor after 2 to 3 year. Hyundai Exter is Good competition to Tata Punch. There is no doubts about fit and finish of hyundai cars (Experienced Guy 😊). Hope Tata Motors will learn lesson from the competition. All the Best👍🛻👍

Very well and thoughtful insight given in a very good way 👍

Use full information 🙏 Bahut Achhese Explor Kiya Aap ne 😍😍

High Ground clearance is the need of India considering Indian road conditions even though the conditions are developing.

Exter looks funky from rear side where as Punch looks somewhat better from rear side.

first video i saw where i got all the things i got to know every single detail before buying the car coz its a huge investment for the middle class person .. thanks brother

ICN studio review is everything....I will never buy a car without watching a ICN studio review. ❤

Happy owner of Tata Punch 👊

Punch for sure.. almkst 1. 8 years using... Awesome.. no issues so far.. strong body and highly safe one for us .

Really awesome, comprehensive and accurate review without hiding anything. Great.

very much practical and honest comparison. ❤

If ground clearance isn't an issue, honda amaze is still the best car under 10 lacs. Highly underrated.

Yogi bro, i went to Jaipur trip from Noida last month, i covered approx 650 kms on that trip by punch. I used Delhi 2 mumbai expressway n i got 21 km mileage with AC.. It was 24 but i faced traffic on return frm sohna - gurgaon... i wanted to share my experience after 11 months, Punch is highway king in mileage, i got 27 mileage initially till Alwar.. but in traffic/city i got 13-14 mileage only.. my second car is Maruti Dzire 2011 model,, i got 18 mileage on highway and 15 in city traffic... i enjoyed Punch riding which is superb n better then Dezire..

Tata Is Rising No Doubt...But HYUNDAI After Sales Service is Much Better Then Tata..

Vikas Bhai is so underrated...💯 He understood the necessity to clear the confusion of rival... Ravi bhai -Shudh Desi logo k liye 😄 Gangan bhai - Ekdam technical logo k liye 🌟 Vikas bhai- Dono janta k liye✅

Superb presentation, Thanks !

I have been driving punch automatic in the city for last 3 and a half months now. Mileage 15.5kmpl. Fun to drive. Its the best vehicle in this segment and price tag in the city traffic as well as for highway. Comfort wise it could have been a bit better . Engine noise has drastically reduced after RDE compliant motors were used. The engines were refined. And one can hardly here the hum of engine in the cabin as the sound and vibration has reduced significantly. I have tata safari xz+ manual but i find a bahana to drive my punch😅.

Tata is good overall in build quality...main issue is cabin noise ,3 cylinder can't get torque while climbing hilly areas 🙂which disappoint me ...Hyundai is love 💙

one of the best review no marketing of any brand

Very useful and detailed comparison 👍

Exter interior and exterior both looks premium, while punch is more plastic, I have driven punch and it’s comfortable for front row but rear seats are a bit cramped, I also own i20 active so have an overall idea of hyundai, electrical are good while on punch is kinda flimsy, and 3 cylinder engine has good amount of vibration but trust me you can’t tell that if a hyundai petrol engine is on or off … noise damping is way good ..

Punch is very good on average I already drive a punch on the highway 380km one shot and get 19 to 20km per liter average and didn't face any problem to overtake vehicles on the highway.I already drove on pachmari hill station and found very smooth driving. City I got 14 to 15km per liter average 2022 model. From safety side every one knows about tata quality. Not accurate feedback....

Good comparison, but it could be more practical with Punch BS 6 phase 2nd.

U said it right..problem in hyundai is ,their clutch will became so much stiffer after 30k around that ,ur leg will hurt even in highway..and its very painful if u drive it around city . I felt it personally in my uncle's car.and compared it to my altroz ,it is so smoother even after 40k.

Punch made trust with their reliability

Really nice comparison. Also compare AMTs of both cars. The Punch which you are driving is BS6 Phase 1 variant. Phase 2 is mucg better than Phase 1, and therefore Phase 2 Punch should have been compared.

🎉🎉Bahoot acha details diya sir🙏🙏🙏👍💥💥💥

Jabardast review bhai 👍... Jaide choti nexon matlab 'punch' Aur jaise choti creta matlab-'xter'...

Hyundai has done a clever job, Exter is definitely better in terms of looks, features and overall package... It's going to score good at ncap too...Punch will be punched hard...Kudos Hyundai❤❤

Premier Rio and KUV 100 ... The og micro suv 🥲

I like your video and this is so helpful, however one suggestion, when you are comparing the car make sure u tag the car name or put text on the video (car name) this will help the viewer to compare and identify about which car u are talking about ...

I took punch on rent for a trip from Pune to mahabhaleshwar, it was a decent car, I liked everything except the engine, I felt more vibrations on accelerator than my 1.3 mjd ciaz and it can't even be compared to my 1.2 Baleno. Engine was slow and I it was really scary when I was pushing it and taking corners in the hilly region (guess I am not used to driving SUVs at all, I am still a sedan guy), I also hated its speaker quality but everything else was decent, better interior quality than my ciaz.

A lot of people are saying that Exter could be Hyundai's first 5 Star rated car by the GNCAP. We can't be sure but even if Exter gets 4 stars, there won't be a single reason to buy the Punch.

Sometimes problem of clutch after 45-50k kms,you can change clutch assembly,happens It's Common case in every good brand

I am presently driving an i20 elite sports variant.i am also planning a SUV under 10lac, please suggest whether I should go for buying this car or any other car. What should I do?

I think New punch is better ❤

Altroz ki cultch after 60,000km. Makhan se b smooth.😊

All aspects were very well covered.

Unbiased review, good! 👍🏻

Please don't misguide on Tata Punch's average. I am using Punch In Ladakh and it is giving 19-21 kmpl on

Comparing a 24,000 KM driven BS6 Phase 1 Punch(when phase 2 is available) with brand new barely driven BS6 Phase 2 Exter shows the amount of thought you put into this video. Looks like you were in a lot of hurry to roll out this comparison video. A little bit of proper research would have told you that Phase 2 Punch has significant amount of improvements in terms of drive-ability and vibrations. I lost faith in the quality of your video at the point where you compared the paint quality/shine of the two cars. :D How can you even think of comparing the paint and plastic quality/condition of a 24k KM driven car and a brand new car?

A nice Hyundai Exter Advertisement. Good job team! 🎉

true and unbiased review.good job keep it up bro

#TATA_PUNCH 💪 #INDIAN_BRAND 💪 Tin ka dibba tin ka dibba hi rahega kyunki platform toh grand i10 ka hi hai. BE INDIAN BUY ONLY INDIAN BRANDS PRODUCTS 💪

Humble request sir, kindly indlude 'AC Performance' as well as a parameter of your comparision, because it if definitely a pivot point for many buyers. We recently purchased a VW virtus, and the AC performance is not up to the mark, then only I realised that the 'AC' must also be a parmeter to judge a car. In this comparo, I feel EXter is a silent winner. Regards.

Irithium ke spark plug lagaye maine punch me.. Noise and vibration gone and smooth pickup. Offcourse Exeter see acchi nahi ho jayegi.. but achcha bhagti h.. 80 tak pohuch jati h aaram se.. Drive a punch phase 2 with Iridium spark plug once

Sahib , Nobody speak ab Turning Radius of car since our cities are crowded most Thanks. It's a valuable video to compare two similar cars .

Exter would definitely beat all the Punch sales if their NCAP ratings are minimum 4 stars and above

Exter looks premium car

Waiting for base model comparison.. ✌

At 2:30, It is clear that they don't have any high strength steel till B pillar. So, whatever the impact, driver and co passenger is done.

Is the punch used here the one that gets an updated engine for bs6 phase 2 which is considerably more better in terms of performance, refinement and efficiency

When we had poor or no roads, people were ok with an 800. Now we have world class highways and people are concerned about ground clearance. What a time to be alive.

Exter SX(O) AMT vs I20 Sportz IVT. Both coming at same price, which is better to buy?

Love your genuine review.

I'm a Tata Punch owner for about nearly 1.5 years now. When it comes to driving, it lacks a punch but not a problem, drivability and pickup ability is too good. Safety wise this is superb, just builtup solid. But it lacks rear seat comfort. When driver is tall for my case 6.2' , seat behind me is normally needs to be vacant. It will be very tough.

Tata punch abhi Tak sabse better best quality build quality🎉❤🎉🎉🎉❤

Interesting , waiting for the Global NCAP test of Exter !

Sir, one question which is better Exter Sx AMT or brezaa Vxi manual

Would like to announce the winner of the competition It's our favorite "Lord S Presso" Won by Duckworth Lewis method

He should have used a BS6 Phase 2 of Punch for engine comparison.

I own a Venue 1.0 Turbo Dct SX(O) model top end. I love the car in every way but I am suffering from very bad mileage 7 to 9 in city and 16 on highway. Is the exter a good switchover for me

I will go with punch Safety matters for me I AM A PROUD OWNER OF PUNCH CREATIVE AMT For my friends and family I will suggest Punch
