NCAP 5★

The Punch EV offers genuine 468 km range and nippy 127 bhp performance at an accessible ₹8.09 lakh entry price, backed by a reassuring 5-star NCAP rating. However, you'll want to skip the base model—jump straight to mid or top trims to unlock essentials like touchscreen, alloys, and premium comfort features that justify the asking price.

Stands out

  • 468 km ARAI range on 40 kWh pack eliminates daily charge anxiety
  • 154 Nm instant torque and 9.0 s 0-100 km/h acceleration feel punchy
  • 5-star Bharat NCAP rating with standard 6 airbags and ESP across range
  • Top trims pack sunroof, ventilated seats, 360 camera and wireless charging
  • Lifetime HV battery warranty on 40 kWh for first owner provides peace of mind
  • Single-pedal drive and paddle-controlled regen add EV engagement

!Gives us pause

  • Base 30 kWh lacks touchscreen, alloys and rear parking sensors—a frustrating omission
  • No ADAS or Level-2 driver assistance; rivals like Nexon.ev offer more autonomy
  • 366 L boot and sub-4m cabin feel cramped versus larger electric SUVs
  • Halogen headlamps standard except on Empowered+ S; LED upgrade missing elsewhere
  • Comfort and tech features concentrated in top trim; mid-range feels feature-starved

Tata Punch EV Overview

The Tata Punch.ev is a sub-4-metre electric SUV built on Tata's born-electric acti.ev platform and offered with two LFP prismatic-cell battery packs. The 30 kWh Medium Range pack pairs a 65 kW (87 bhp) PMSM motor with 154 Nm for a certified 365-375 km (MIDC) and 0-100 km/h in 13.5 s, while the 40 kWh Long Range pack steps up to 95 kW (127 bhp), a certified 468 km range and a 9.0-second sprint. Both packs are liquid-cooled, IP67-rated and use a single-speed automatic with CCS2 charging. Measuring 3880 mm long on a 2445 mm wheelbase, the Punch.ev offers 195 mm of unladen ground clearance, a 366-litre boot (VDA), multi-mode regenerative braking with paddle-shifter control and a customizable single-pedal drive. DC fast charging takes the pack from 10-80% in about 30 minutes (65 kW), and a 7.2 kW AC wall box does 10-100% in roughly 4.5-5.3 hours depending on the pack. Safety is comprehensive from the base Smart trim: 6 airbags, ESP, ABS with EBD, ISOFIX anchors and iTPMS are standard, contributing to a 5-star Bharat NCAP result. Higher trims add a 26.03 cm HARMAN infotainment and digital cockpit, 360-degree surround-view camera, blind-spot view monitor, an electric sunroof, ventilated leatherette front seats, wireless charging, an air purifier and iRA.ev connected-car features with arcade.ev apps and multiple voice assistants.
