The Tata Punch.ev is built on the innovative acti.ev (advanced connected tech-intelligent electric vehicle) architecture developed by Tata Motors. This architecture is poised to serve as the foundation for the company’s future electric vehicles, encompassing various body styles and sizes.

Available in Standard and Long-range variants, the Tata Punch.ev boasts an impressive set of technical specifications.

The standard model features a 60kW/114Nm permanent magnet synchronous AC motor, while the Long Range model is equipped with a more powerful 90kW/190Nm permanent magnet synchronous AC motor.

Both models come with IP67-rated motor and battery packs, carrying an eight-year or 1,60,000km warranty.

The standard model, equipped with a 25kWh battery pack, claims a range of 315km (MIDC), while the Long Range variant, featuring a 35kWh battery pack, extends the range to 421km (MIDC).

Charging options include a 3.3kW AC home wall box charger, a 7.2kW AC home wall box charger, a 15 A plug point, and a 50kW DC fast charger, providing flexibility and efficiency in charging times.

The Tata Punch.ev comes with three drive modes (Eco, City, and Sport) and three regeneration levels (Minimum, Intermediate, and Maximum), allowing users to customize their driving experience.

Notably, the vehicle offers a generous unladen ground clearance of 190mm and a water-wading capability of 350mm.

In terms of variants, the Tata Punch.ev offers five options: Smart, Smart+, Adventure, Empowered, and Empowered+.

The electric SUV is available in five exterior colour choices: Empowered Red, Seaweed, Fearless Red, Daytona Grey, and Pristine White.

Designed with a captivating exterior, the Tata Punch.ev follows the same design language as the Tata Nexon.ev.

It features LED strip lighting across the front, LED projector headlamps with sequential turn indicators, LED fog lamps with cornering function, and a rear design reminiscent of the Tata Punch petrol model. The vehicle rides on 16-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels.

Inside the cabin, the Tata Punch.ev offers a plush and feature-packed environment.
