The upcoming Tata Punch EV, as captured in recent spy shots, continues to generate excitement as details about its design and features gradually unfold during testing. Here’s a more in-depth look at the anticipated electric vehicle:
Exterior Design
The Tata Punch EV is poised for a substantial design overhaul. The latest spy shots showcase the inclusion of new LED headlights a noteworthy feature borrowed from the Nexon EV and these headlights are housed in a redesigned enclosure adding a modern touch to the vehicle’s frontal aesthetics. The LED daytime running lights (DRLs) are expected to undergo significant modifications potentially spanning the entire width of the car. The model’s updated look is further enhanced with a revised grille and bumper and the car is notable for its new 5-spoke alloy wheels, and disc brakes for the back wheels should improve performance as well as looks.
Interior Features
The interior of the Punch EV is slated to undergo a significant upgrade, introducing a larger 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system. A distinctive two-spoke steering wheel featuring an illuminated Tata logo adds a touch of sophistication to the cabin. A gear selector with an integrated display and an electronic parking brake with auto-hold functionality are among the technological advances. The feature list is expected to be vast, with items like as a sunroof, wireless phone charging, automatic climate control, and a completely computerized driver’s display. Safety features are likely to include ABS with EBD, multiple airbags, electronic stability control, a tyre pressure monitoring system, and a rear parking camera with sensors.
Powertrain Options
Positioned between the Tigor EV and Nexon EV, the Punch EV is set to offer consumers two distinct powertrain choices: Medium Range and Long Range. The Medium Range variant is anticipated to adopt the powertrain from the Tigor EV, while the Long Range variant may feature the base powertrain from the Nexon EV and this dual offering provides potential buyers with flexibility based on their range preferences.
Market Positioning and Rivals
With an expected unveiling later this year, the Tata Punch EV is strategically positioned to carve a unique space in the electric vehicle market. Priced around Rs. 12 lakh (ex-showroom), the model aims to compete directly with the Citroen eC3, presenting itself as a compelling and premium alternative to the Tata Tiago EV and Tigor EV.
As the Tata Punch EV undergoes testing each new sighting offers enthusiasts a deeper understanding of its evolving design and features heightening anticipation for its imminent official launch.
