It has been months that spy shots of the Tata Punch EV have been circulating on the internet, with us having seen it in a lower-spec variant as well. We have now once again managed to click some images of another heavily camouflaged test mule of the Punch EV, which looked to be a well-equipped variant suggesting its series production could commence soon.

Details Noticed

The latest test mule was all decked up and seemed to be a closer-to-production version of the all-electric Tata Punch. It was equipped with new alloy wheels, a redesigned grille, and updated split LED headlights with new Nexon-like LED DRLs which double up as turn indicators. All of these updates are likely to be passed to the standard ICE-powered Punch as well. 

Another highlight of the spy shots was the confirmation of the bigger touchscreen unit (probably the 10.25-inch display from the new Nexon) and the provision of the new 2-spoke steering wheel featuring the illuminated ‘Tata’ logo.
