Tata Punch EV India Launch Today: What to Expect

Tata Motors has shared a teaser image of the Punch EV facelift, revealing changes to the front design. The earlier black trim that connected the headlamps has been replaced with a closed-off panel. The vehicle now features a full-width LED daytime running light strip.

The front bumper has a revised scuff plate. The facelift also introduces a new set of aero-style alloy wheels. The teaser shows a yellow exterior shade with a contrasting black roof.

Details of the rear design have not been officially revealed. However, the updated model is expected to get connected LED tail-lamps and a revised rear bumper, similar to the updated ICE version.

Changes inside are expected to be limited. The layout is likely to remain the same, with the addition of a larger 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system. The 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster is expected to continue.

Other likely features include ventilated front seats, wireless charging, a 360-degree camera, ambient lighting, connected car functions and an auto-dimming inside rear-view mirror. Some reports suggest the addition of Level 2 ADAS features, although there has been no official confirmation from Tata Motors.

The Tata Punch EV facelift is expected to continue with the same battery options as the current model. It is likely to be offered with a 25kWh battery pack and a 35kWh battery pack. The 25kWh version produces 80bhp and 114Nm of torque, with a claimed ARAI range of 265km. The larger 35kWh battery delivers 120bhp and 190Nm of torque, with a claimed range of up to 365km. Both versions use a front-wheel-drive layout and no changes to the powertrain are expected with the update.

The current Punch EV is priced from around Rs 9.99 lakh (ex-showroom). The updated model is expected to see a slight price increase, with a starting price of around Rs 10.49 lakh (ex-showroom).
