Tata Punch EV Facelift Launch on Feb 20 with ADAS, 421km Range and Ventilated Seats

Tata Motors is preparing to launch the facelifted model of its popular electric SUV, the Punch EV, in India on February 20. The Punch EV was first launched in India in January 2024. Now, two years later, it will receive its first major update.

The new facelifted model will be largely inspired by the petrol (ICE) version of the Punch, which was updated last month. The new Punch EV will feature luxury features such as a 12.3-inch screen, connected LED taillights, and ventilated seats.

For safety, features like 6 airbags and a 360° camera will be standard. For the first time, the car may also feature Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). The new Punch EV is expected to have an ex-showroom starting price between ₹11 and ₹15 lakh.
