The Tata Punch EV has rolled out an exciting model year update, boasting several enhancements to capture the attention of EV enthusiasts and eco-conscious buyers in India. This update introduces two striking new color options, Pure Grey and Supernova Copper, which join an already vibrant palette of dual-tone finishes including Empowered Oxide, Seaweed, Daytona Grey, Fearless Red, and Pristine White. These fresh choices aim to enhance the car’s appeal while catering to varied consumer tastes.
The highlight of the update undoubtedly lies in its upgraded charging capability. Supporting a 1.2C charging rate, the updated Tata Punch EV sets a new standard for convenience. This improved rate allows the battery to charge from 10% to 80% in just 40 minutes, making long road trips more practical with quicker top-ups. Additionally, it delivers a swift boost of 90 km range in just 15 minutes, providing incredible ease for drivers on tight schedules.
No significant structural changes have been introduced in this model year update. The electric five-seater retains its two battery options, including the economical 25 kWh battery pack offering a claimed range of 315 km per charge and the more powerful 35 kWh pack delivering an impressive range of 421 km. The larger battery also provides an exhilarating driving experience, generating 122 PS of power and 190 Nm of torque, allowing the Punch EV to achieve 0 to 100 kmph in merely 9.5 seconds. These highlights make the Tata Punch EV one of the most affordable yet high-performance electric SUVs in India, perfectly suited for urban-use as well as longer commutes.
Built on Tata’s advanced Acti.ev platform, the Punch EV distinguishes itself further with sleek design cues. The aero alloy wheels, an EV-specific closed-off front grille, and refined blue accents cleverly set it apart from its internal combustion engine counterpart. On the safety front, this electric SUV comes with a stellar Global NCAP five-star safety rating, robustly designed to deliver confidence to its drivers.
Loaded with features, the Punch EV includes innovations like multi-mode regenerative braking, ventilated leatherette seats, and a flat second-row floor ideal for maximizing passenger comfort. Its user-friendly interiors are equipped with twin 10.25-inch screens for infotainment and driver instrumentation, touch-based climate controls, and wireless smartphone connectivity. Lifestyle-enhancing features such as a sunroof, a 7-speaker JBL sound system, and a 360-degree camera system further bolster its appeal.
For practicality, the Tata Punch EV boasts a roomy 366-liter boot space along with an additional 14 liters of storage in the frunk for added convenience. Its 90-degree opening doors enhance accessibility, making it an ergonomic choice for city drives and family use. The car features IP67 water and dust-resistant battery and motor systems, combined with reliability through the brand’s eight-year or 1.6 lakh km standard warranty, ensuring peace of mind for EV owners.
With prices ranging between Rs. 9.99 lakh to Rs. 14.44 lakh (ex-showroom), the updated Tata Punch EV solidifies its reputation as a value-packed electric urban SUV designed to appeal to the modern, eco-friendly driver.
