TATA PUNCH EV REVIEW -ITS JUST LIKE MINI NEXON EV

Tata Motors has solidified its dominance in the Indian passenger EV market with the introduction of the all-new Punch EV that neatly slots in between the range-topping Nexon EV and the entry-level Tiago EV. The Punch EV is Tata’s fourth electric offering, but crucially, it’s got the potential to become India’s bestselling EV. Why? For one, it’s an SUV – the body style that everyone is in love with – it’s based on the wildly popular petrol-engine Punch, it's superbly spaced, aggressively priced (Rs 10.99 lakh-15.49 lakh), and has absolutely no direct competition.
With Nexon's electrification formula to Punch, which is to take the ICE version, give it a new and distinctly EV face, and pack it with more features and tech. But there is one big difference: the Punch EV is the first Tata to be built on the company’s Acti.ev architecture, a comprehensive re-engineering of the original ICE platform for pure EV application. Unlike the Nexon EV’s ICE platform, which underwent smaller modifications in the interest of getting to market quickly, the Punch EV gets a far more comprehensive do-over. Tata Motors has reengineered the floor to make it flat and has given it a wider recess to accommodate the centrally mounted battery pack. While in many cases an underslung battery lowers ground clearance, with the electric Punch it is higher. Tata engineers have raised the floor (by 20mm), so ground clearance stands at speed breaker-conquering 190mm – up 3mm from the ICE Punch.
