Tata Punch & Curvv PDI Guide: Fit-Finish, Panel Gaps & Delivery Checklist
The Tata Punch micro-SUV and the cutting-edge Tata Curvv coupe-SUV represent two of Tata's most modern automotive designs. With innovative styling elements like flush exterior door handles, coupe rooflines, and panoramic glass roofs, meticulous showroom pre-delivery checks are required to ensure no transit damage or fitment defects occurred.
1. Coupe Roofline & Flush Door Handle Inspection (Tata Curvv)
- Flush Door Handle Motors: Test motorized deployment and retraction on all four handles multiple times to check motor smoothness.
- Panoramic Fixed Glass Roof: Inspect the large glass canopy under strong angled sunlight for micro-scratches, stress cracks, or rubber gasket waviness.
- Aerodynamic Sloping Tailgate: Check motorized tailgate closing alignment and gesture sensor response.
2. 90-Degree Door Opening & Panel Alignment (Tata Punch)
- Test all four 90-degree opening doors. Ensure smooth hinge action without door drop or contact with the B-pillar sill.
- Measure panel gaps between the plastic body cladding and metal door skins to ensure tight clip seating with zero play.
3. VIN & Manufacturing Month Verification
Always verify the 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) stamped on the driver-side B-pillar and beneath the driver seat carpet flap to ensure your allocated vehicle was manufactured within the last 30 to 60 days.
