Tata Motors has revealed key technical specifications of the upcoming Punch EV facelift ahead of its official price announcement. The updated electric SUV will be offered with two battery pack options and improved charging capabilities. The company has also shared details related to range, performance, and battery technology.
With an ARAI-certified range of up to 468km and enhanced fast-charging support, the Punch EV facelift aims to strengthen its position in the compact electric SUV segment.
Battery
The Tata Punch EV facelift will be available with two battery pack options:
| Battery Pack | Configuration |
|---|---|
| 30kWh | Standard option |
| 40kWh | Extended range option |
Both versions use prismatic LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) cells. Tata Motors is offering a lifetime, unlimited-kilometre warranty on the battery pack, which may provide additional confidence for long-term ownership.
The company has also introduced updated e-drive calibration and algorithm optimisation to improve efficiency and overall driving performance.
Range
Range figures vary depending on the battery pack configuration. The company has disclosed both real-world and certified figures.
| Battery Version | C75 Real-World Range | ARAI-Certified Range |
|---|---|---|
| 30kWh | 335km | Not specified |
| 40kWh | 355km | Up to 468km |
The C75 range refers to realistic driving conditions, while the ARAI-certified figure is based on standard testing procedures. The larger 40kWh battery offers the highest claimed range of up to 468km on a single charge.
Charging
Charging capabilities have been enhanced in the facelifted model. The Punch EV now supports 65kW DC fast charging.
According to Tata Motors:
- 20 to 80 percent charge can be achieved in 26 minutes
- A 15-minute charge can add up to 135km of range
These improvements are expected to make the vehicle more practical for both city use and occasional intercity travel.
Performance
In addition to battery and range updates, the Punch EV facelift receives performance enhancements.
The company claims a 0 to 100kmph acceleration time of under nine seconds. The vehicle is equipped with multiple drive modes and four levels of regenerative braking. The regenerative braking levels can be adjusted using paddle shifters, allowing drivers to customise energy recovery based on driving conditions.
Improved calibration and software optimisation are aimed at delivering smoother power delivery and better efficiency.
Practicality
The Punch EV facelift retains its SUV-oriented characteristics. It offers:
- 195mm ground clearance
- Water-wading capacity of up to 450mm
These figures indicate that the model continues to focus on usability across varied road conditions.
With two battery pack options, improved charging speeds, extended range, and performance updates, the Tata Punch EV facelift presents a more refined package in the compact electric SUV category. The official pricing announcement is expected soon, which will further clarify its market positioning.
