The Tata Punch EV Facelift is set to launch in the Indian market today. The Punch EV has already established a strong presence in the micro SUV segment, and now it is entering with an updated design, advanced features, and improved technology. Earlier, Tata Motors also launched the updated ICE version of the Punch. Let’s take a look at the new Punch EV’s design, features, range, and expected pricing details.
Design Updates
In terms of design, the Punch EV facelift gets an updated front bumper, a redesigned LED headlight cluster, new LED DRLs, and a sharper, more angular look. At the rear, it features a new fascia and a textured faux silver skid plate. However, there are no major changes to the side profile. New color options such as Bengal Rouge and Yellow have been added, giving the car a more premium appeal.
Advanced Features and Safety
The Tata Punch EV Facelift is expected to come with a larger 12.3-inch infotainment system featuring a new software interface. Existing features such as the 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, wireless connectivity, 360-degree camera, and other smart functions are likely to continue. The interior may get new color schemes and updated trim finishes. Connected car technology and OTA (Over-the-Air) updates are also expected. Safety remains a key highlight of the Punch EV. It is expected to offer 6 airbags, ABS, EBD, ESP, a 360-degree camera, rear parking sensors, and possibly some ADAS features.
Battery and Range
There is no official confirmation yet about changes to the powertrain. As per reports, the existing battery options are likely to continue:
- 25 kWh (Standard) – 315 km MIDC range
- 35 kWh (Long Range) – 421 km MIDC range
With 50 kW DC fast charging, the battery can be charged from 10% to 80% in approximately 56 minutes. Some reports also suggest the possibility of a larger 40–45 kWh battery pack, which could further improve the driving range.
Expected Price
The new Tata Punch EV Facelift is expected to be priced slightly higher than the current model. The existing Punch EV is priced between ₹9.99 lakh and ₹14.44 lakh (ex-showroom). The facelift version could start at ₹9.99 lakh and go up to around ₹15 lakh, especially for variants with a bigger battery pack.
Pre-bookings are likely to begin soon after the official launch.
