For Safety, Tata is the benchmark as they manufacture some of the world's safest cars. The Punch EV makes no difference as it offers best-in-class safety features with a 5-star rating in both global and Bharat NCAP crash tests.
But if you take the eC3, it has scored 0 stars in the Global NCAP crash test, which is very disappointing for a brand like Citroen. But the French car manufacturer is renowned for their advanced suspension systems, which offer sophistication and comfort.
Features and Offerings

The Tata Punch EV is packed with all the latest and essential features every customer expects, starting from wireless connectivity to ventilated seats. The offerings from the Citroen eC3 are minimal and will satisfy short-distance and daily urban use. No one in the segment can match Citroen's AC and Cooling systems.
Pricing and Verdict
| Electric car | Price (ex-shworoom) |
| Citroen eC3 | 12.90 lakhs |
| 2025 Tata Punch EV | 9.99 lakhs |
Choosing between the two, the Punch EV is the best option, offering the best value at a lower price range. The Citroen eC3 is priced slightly higher than the segment average, and its offerings are also not the best compared to the Punch EV. So, our pick would be the Tata Punch EV. However, if the customer opts for a unique product, better AC and driving comfort, then they can go for the eC3 EV.
