New Design and Color Options
Walk up to the new Punch EV. First thing you notice? It’s bolder. The fascia has been redesigned. LED tail lights now stretch across the back. Grey cladding wraps around the SUV giving it a tough stance. Looks sporty, right?
And the colors! Fearless Yellow, Bengal Rouge, Caramel, Empowered Oxide, Pure Grey, Pristine White. Choices galore. Step inside and the dual-tone dashboard and fresh upholstery give a premium feel. It’s clear Tata’s trying to make EVs feel fun, yet grown-up.
Powertrain and Range
Under the hood, things get serious. The facelift gets a 40kWh battery with a single electric motor. ARAI says 468km on a single charge. Real-world? Around 355km. Not bad. And for impatient folks like me, 65kW DC fast charging is a game-changer. 20-80% in 26 minutes. Quick top-up? 135km in just 15 minutes. That’s useful.
You’ve got two battery options: Medium Range (30kWh) and Long Range (40kWh). Pick your poison. Honestly, this powertrain puts it among the most reliable EVs in India today.
Features and Safety
Inside, Tata’s gone all out. New HVAC panel, automatic climate control, three drive modes Eco, City, Sport. Four regenerative braking modes too. Fancy stuff like ventilated front seats, wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto, and even a voice-assisted sunroof. Cool, right?
Safety? Tata’s not joking. 6 airbags, ABD with EBD, ESP, HSA, i-TPMS all standard. And if you want, the BaaS program lets you get this EV starting at ₹6.49 lakh.
