Introduction
Picture this-you're on a road trip in your brand-new car. The roads are clear, the weather is perfect, and your stereo plays your favourite tunes. But wait! There's a small hiccup-you have to stop frequently to fuel up your traditional petrol car. Doesn't sound that appealing anymore, does it?
Now, imagine the same scenario-but this time you're driving Tata Punch EV. No frequent stops, just smooth and noiseless driving. Kind of sounds like a dream, doesn't it? In this blog post, we're going to delve into the nitty-gritty of the new Tata Punch EV that's making waves in the Indian market.
The Tata Punch EV: A Closer Look at the Exterior
Let's start with an overview of what makes this electric vehicle (EV) stand out in its segment. The design is very similar to the brother from another mother-Nexon EV with most changes concentrated at the front. It flaunts full-width daytime running lamps and LED headlights giving it a sharp look during both day and night. Notably, Tata has moved the charging flap to the front for better convenience (a significant change considering how often you'll be taking advantage of charging stations compared to refuelling at petrol pumps!).
What's more? The Punch EV spoils you with choice by offering personas-Smart, Adventure and Empowered-each coming with a signature interior and exterior colour. The colours of Tata Punch EV are varied-Empowered Oxide Dual Tone, Seaweed Dual Tone, Daytona Grey Dual Tone, Fearless Red Dual Tone, and Pristine White Dual Tone.
The comforts of Tata Punch EV interior
As you step inside the Punch EV, you're greeted by an interior that's as impressive as its exterior. Tata has once again taken inspiration from the Nexon for the interior design. The new twin-spoke steering wheel with an illuminated logo, touch-based climate control panel and redesigned floor console amplify its modern appeal.
What's unique about this car is its spacious front seats, wide and thick side bolstering designed to accommodate comfortably even XL-sized individuals. It also offers height adjustment for the driver's seat and tilt adjustment for the steering.
However, on the flip side, the rear seats might feel a bit cramped if you're near 6 feet tall. But hey, the compact size is a small compromise for the vast benefits that come with electric mobility!
Let's talk about its features
Offering comfort and convenience in spades, the top-spec version of Punch EV comes loaded with features like:
1. 10.25- inch touchscreen
2. Digital driver's display
3. Touch- based switches
4. 360- degree camera
5. Front seat ventilation
6. Electric sunroof
7. Cruise control
8. Wireless charger
9. A fantastic 6- speaker audio system
These features not only make your ride more comfortable but also make a strong point justifying its asking price.
The drive experience
The Punch EV offers two battery packs to choose from: 25 kWh or 35 kWh. The smaller pack is paired with an 82 PS/114 Nm motor (roughly equal to the petrol Punch), while the larger one gets a powerful 122 PS/190 Nm motor.
Charging the Punch EV is as simple as plugging in your phone at night. You can use an AC charger at home or public DC fast chargers.
Tata Punch EVs range is another factor that makes it exceptional. The Punch EV provides three modes-Eco, City and Sport-catering to different driving environments. Top speed of Punch EV is one of the best EV segments in India.
