Posed as a challenger to the Citroen eC3, the electric micro-SUV can be booked by interested buyers for a price of Rs 21,000. The Tata Punch EV has been launched in five models and a total of 9 exterior colour combinations.

For those unaware, the Tata Punch EV comes as an electrified version of Tata’s micro-SUV that goes by the same name – Tata Punch.

The nine exterior colours in which these models are available include four monotone options: Seawood Green, Daytona Grey, Fearless Red, and Pristine White. The other five are dual-tone options, with a black roof and a new Oxide colour available only on the Empowered and Empowered+ trims.

As for its performance, the new Punch EV comes with two battery pack options: medium and long range. The Medium model only has a 3.3kW charger, however, the Long Range variant has a 7.2kW DC fast charger option, which improves charging capacity for consumers. The Punch EV is also equipped with new-age features, including a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, a 360-degree surround-view camera, ventilated front seats, wireless charging, and Harman-powered speakers. Air purifiers, single-pane sunroof, cruise control, wireless mobile connectivity, and six airbags are standard across all models.
