Tata Punch EV Facelift Launched in India — Price, Range, Features & Details
Tata Motors has officially launched the Tata Punch EV Facelift in India, marking a significant update to its popular compact electric SUV. The new Punch EV arrives with refreshed styling, upgraded battery range, improved features and competitive pricing aimed at strengthening Tata’s position in the growing urban EV segment.
Price and Variants
The Tata Punch EV Facelift has been introduced with a starting price of ₹9.69 lakh (ex-showroom) for the base variant. Tata is also offering a choice of battery options, including variants with a fixed battery pack and an ‘Battery as a Service’ (BaaS) option that allows buyers to purchase the vehicle with a lower upfront cost and opt for battery subscription plans.
With the BaaS scheme, the entry price can be lower, making the Punch EV more accessible for city commuters and first-time EV buyers.
Claimed Real-World Range and Battery Details
Tata Motors claims that the Punch EV Facelift delivers up to 355 km of real-world range on a single charge — a notable improvement over the earlier model. This estimated range reflects everyday driving conditions rather than strict test cycles, making it more relevant for typical users.
The facelifted Punch EV comes with an upgraded battery pack designed to balance range, performance and durability, and supports both AC and DC fast-charging. Tata has focused on enhancing energy efficiency, allowing owners to travel longer distances between charges.
Design and Exterior Updates
The Punch EV Facelift features a refreshed exterior design that gives the compact SUV a more modern and bold appearance. Key styling updates include:
- Redesigned front bumper and grille area tailored for better aerodynamics
- Updated LED lighting signatures at the front and rear
- New alloy wheel designs
- Refined colour options to appeal to a younger and urban customer base
Inside, the interior layout retains its functional simplicity while offering improved quality materials and updated trim pieces for a more premium feel.
Technology and Features
Tata has equipped the Punch EV Facelift with a range of upgraded tech and comfort features. Highlights include:
- Larger touchscreen infotainment system with connected car tech
- Enhanced digital instrument cluster
- Multiple drive modes for city and highway conditions
- Smartphone connectivity and navigation features
- Safety systems such as dual airbags, ABS with EBD and corner stability control
The facelift model also gets additional convenience features aimed at enhancing comfort during daily use and long drives.
Charging and Ownership Benefits
Tata Motors continues to support its EV customers with an expanding fast-charging network across urban centres. Owners of the Punch EV Facelift can access public DC fast chargers for quicker top-ups, as well as home AC charging solutions for overnight replenishment.
With the Battery as a Service (BaaS) option, customers can choose subscription plans that allow lower initial payment and flexible battery support, including options for warranty and replacement schemes.
Competitive Positioning
The Tata Punch EV Facelift aims to compete strongly in the compact electric SUV market in India, going up against rivals such as other urban EV hatchbacks and small crossover electrics. Its combination of range improvements, feature upgrades and urban-friendly pricing positions it as an attractive choice for city commuters, young professionals and first-time EV buyers.
Given the growing demand for EVs in India’s passenger vehicle market, Tata Motors is leveraging its experience in electric mobility to expand its EV portfolio while making ownership more cost-effective.
Conclusion
The Tata Punch EV Facelift is a significant update in the company’s electric vehicle lineup. With a claimed real-world range of up to 355 km, refreshed styling, modern features and flexible pricing options including battery subscription plans, it aims to attract a wide range of buyers looking for a practical, affordable and capable urban EV. The facelift brings Tata Motors closer to its goal of accelerating EV adoption across Indian cities.
