Tata Punch.ev - Design
In terms of appearance, the Punch.ev resembles the standard Punch SUV but due to its electric nature, it features EV specific elements as well. One striking difference is at the front fascia as there is no front grille because it doesn't need one for cooling. Instead, it has a sleek LED light strip along the edge of the hood, which also works as daytime running lights. The headlights and the front bumper have also been redesigned to make the Punch EV look distinct from the standard Punch SUV.
Tata Punch.ev - Interior
In terms of cabin design and features, it gets some new features such as heated front seats, an automatic parking brake with auto hold, a blind view monitor, a 360-degree camera, Harman sound system, wireless charger, keyless entry with a push-button start/stop and automatic temperature control.
Tata Punch.ev - Performance
The Tata Punch EV is expected to provide a driving range of around 300 km on a single charge. While details about its powertrain have not yet been revealed, the SUV will come with a 3.3 kW wall box charger. Additionally, the Long Range variant will include a faster 7.2 kW home charger.
Tata Punch.ev - Acti.ev Platform
Tata has created a brand-new electric vehicle architecture called 'acti.ev,' short for Advanced Connected Tech-Intelligent Electric Vehicle, pronounced as "active." This means that the Punch EV will have a completely new electric design specifically developed for electric vehicles.
