Explained: Tata Punch EV Adventure Long Range Variant In 8 Images

The Adventure variant of the Tata Punch EV is the entry-level option for the larger battery pack that offers a claimed range of 421 km

The Tata Punch EV has recently gone on sale at a starting price of Rs 10.99 lakh (introductory, ex-showroom pan India). It is available in a total of five broad variants – Smart, Smart Plus, Adventure, Empowered, and Empowered Plus – and it comes with two battery pack options: Medium Range and Long Range. The Long Range battery pack is available from the Adventure variant onwards, and you can explore what the Punch EV Adventure LR has to offer through these 8 images.

At the front, the Punch EV Adventure shares many similarities with the higher-specced Empowered variants. It is equipped with LED projector headlights, connected LED DRLs, and LED fog lamps with cornering function. The LED DRLs not only serve as daytime running lights but also include welcome and goodbye animations, along with sequential effects for turn indicators. In comparison to its higher-spec trims, it misses out on a charging indicator on the connected DRL setup.

Also, additional exterior shades like Daytona Grey, Fearless Red, and the Seaweed shown here, becomes available from this Adventure variant onwards.

In profile, the Adventure variant of the Tata Punch EV comes with 16-inch steel wheels fitted with wheel covers. Over the lower-spec Smart and Smart Plus variants, the Punch EV Adventure comes with body-coloured door handles and gloss black ORVMs. It also features a traditional roof antenna, but still doesn’t get the roof rails that are on the higher-spec Empowered variants.

The rear of the Punch EV Adventure looks almost identical to the higher-spec models, though it lacks a rear defogger and a rear wiper-washer. Details such as the LED taillamps and  blacked-out rear bumper with a silver skid plate remain unchanged.

The Adventure variant of the Tata Punch EV gets a dual-tone dashboard. It comes with a 7-inch Harman infotainment system borrowed from its ICE (internal combustion engine) version with wired Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and steering-mounted controls for the same.
