The 2026 Tata Punch EV has been priced aggressively, making it an attractive option for buyers. The 30 kWh lineup starts at Rs. 9.69 lakh for the Smart trim and Rs. 10.29 lakh for the Smart+ trim.

For the 40 kWh range, prices begin at Rs. 10.89 lakh for the Smart version, Rs. 11.59 lakh for Smart+, Rs. 12.29 lakh for Adventure, and go up to Rs. 12.59 lakh for the top Empowered +S trim. All prices are ex-showroom.

Modern Interior 

The interior of the Tata Punch EV gets several new features and technologies. Highlights include a 26.03 cm Harman infotainment system with Arcade.ev 2.0 apps and a matching digital cockpit with navigation.

It also offers ventilated leatherette front seats, a 360-degree camera, and a blind-spot monitor. Other features include wireless smartphone integration, a voice-enabled sunroof, an air purifier, Alexa connectivity, an SOS alert system, auto headlamps, rain-sensing wipers, LED lighting, diamond-cut alloys, a push-button start, roof rails, and rear USB-C fast charging.

Exterior Design and Expanding Charging Network

On the outside, the updated model features a cleaner design with a closed-off grille, reshaped bumper, and redesigned diamond-cut alloy wheels. It also gets an updated light bar signature and a new exterior shade with a contrasting black roof. Tata has also stated that its EV charging network currently covers 130 locations and is expected to expand to 800 charging points by FY26

Safety and Connected Features

The safety kit includes six airbags, TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System), ESP (Electronic Stability Program), hill hold assist, and ISOFIX anchors for child seats.

Connected-car features include OTA (Over-The-Air) updates, valet mode, health reports, trip analytics, remote commands, and an e-call system for emergencies.

Impressive Performance 

Performance remains a key highlight of the Tata Punch EV. Its electric motor produces 130 PS of power and allows the car to accelerate from 0 to 100 kmph in under nine seconds.

The vehicle also offers over 2000 Nm of wheel torque, 32% restart gradeability, and 195 mm ground clearance. It supports water-wading up to 450 mm and has a kerb weight of 1360 kg.

Drivers can choose between Eco, City, and Sport modes, along with four levels of regenerative braking controlled through steering-mounted paddles.

The facelift also introduces a segment-first X-in-1 e-drive module that combines six systems into one unit. This setup reduces size by about 50%, lowers weight by 28%, and improves efficiency by nearly 6%. It also cuts electrical connections by around 30% and semiconductor usage by close to 40%.

The vehicle also features a temperature-controlled system with eTXV technology for better cabin and battery cooling, improving efficiency by about one percent.
