TATA PUNCH EV

Tata Motors has finally unveiled the highly anticipated Tata Punch EV, after teasing its appearance. This marks the brand’s fourth venture into the world of electric cars and the second introduction of an electric SUV. What sets the Tata Punch EV apart is that it is the first vehicle built on Tata’s Pure EV architecture, known as ‘Acti.EV,’ which stands for ‘Advanced Connected Tech-Intelligent Electric Vehicle.’ This state-of-the-art platform is a significant achievement for the Tata Punch EV and will serve as the foundation for future Tata electric vehicles. With Tata Motors already making a significant impact in the electric vehicle industry, the launch of the Tata Punch EV is yet another milestone in the brand’s journey in the exciting realm of electric transportation.

Let’s dive deeper into the features and offerings of the Tata Punch EV.

TATA PUNCH EV DESIGN AND LOOKS

The Punch EV truly stands out from its internal combustion engine counterpart with its unique design features, setting it apart from other electric vehicles by Tata.

Notable improvements include a sleek LED light bar that spans the entire width, a split headlamp setup with a trapezoidal housing for the main cluster, and a front bumper adorned with a stylish faux silver skid plate. The side profile and rear maintain a familiar look, but with updates such as new alloy wheels and a dual-tone rear bumper, adding a touch of freshness. One remarkable feature of the Punch EV is its claim to fame as the first Tata electric vehicle to include a front trunk (frunk), which adds both practicality and a distinctive element to its overall design.
