The Tata Punch EV, one of the most awaited electric vehicles in India, has surfaced in fresh leaks, revealing exciting details about its battery options, features, and expected launch timeline. As Tata Motors strengthens its EV portfolio with models like the Nexon EV and Tiago EV, the Punch EV is set to enter the micro-SUV segment with competitive specs and upgrades.
Two Battery Variants for Varied Needs
Leaked documents and dealer feedback reveal the Tata Punch EV will come equipped with two battery configurations. Its standard variant should feature a 25 kWh battery pack with an estimated range of 250-300 km on full charges; for longer range needs, an extended-range variant equipped with 35 kWh packs could provide 350-400 km – making this vehicle suitable for city commutes as well as occasional highway journeys. These figures, though unofficial, position this vehicle as a strong competitor to Maruti Suzuki and Hyundai’s forthcoming small EVs.
Ziptron Technology for Reliable Performance
Tata Motors‘ Ziptron platform powers both Nexon EV and Tiago EV models, and may serve as the basis of Tata’s Punch EV as well. Recognized for its durability and efficiency, Ziptron features an IP67-rated battery pack with fast charging support as well as adaptability to extreme weather conditions – DC fast charging may reach 80 percent within 60 minutes while AC home charging may provide for 3.3kW or 7.2kW charges respectively.
Feature-Packed Interior and Tech Upgrades
Leaked images and specifications point towards an expansive feature list for the forthcoming Punch EV. Some anticipated highlights may include:
- A 10.25-inch touchscreen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay
- Fully digital instrument cluster
- Automatic climate control and wireless charging
- Rear disc brakes (a potential segment-first)
- Electronic parking brake with auto hold
- Multiple driving modes (Eco, City, Sport) and regenerative braking
Sleek Exterior Tweaks
Spy images suggest the Tata Punch EV will sport subtle yet distinct exterior changes over its ICE counterpart, including tri-arrow LED DRLs, revised front bumper design, covered grilles and front-mounted charging ports that adhere to Tata’s EV design language.
Expected Price and Launch Timeline
Tata Motors has yet to confirm official details, but industry sources estimate a launch between June and August 2025 for their Punch EV model. Pricing could range between Rs10 lakh to Rs13.5 lakh ex-showroom; making this car fit between the Tiago EV and Nexon EV models in their lineup.
Final Thoughts
With its compelling combination of range, features and Tata’s proven electric vehicle (EV) technology, Tata’s Punch EV could become a game changer in India’s affordable EV SUV segment. More details may emerge as launch approaches, but at present leaks paint an encouraging picture for eco-minded buyers.
