Tata Punch EV: Compact, Tech-Loaded SUV With Impre

The Tata Punch EV is a compact electric SUV that builds on the design of its ICE counterpart with some significant upgrades tailored for the EV segment. It offers two battery options: a 25kWh pack with a claimed range of 315 km and a 35kWh pack promising up to 425 km. Performance-wise, the larger battery variant boasts 120 hp, enabling a 0-100 km/h sprint in just 9.5 seconds, making it quite spirited for its size. Inside, the Punch EV is tech-forward, featuring dual 10.25-inch screens for the instrument cluster and infotainment system, which support wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It also includes premium features like a 360-degree camera, ventilated seats, and an air purifier. However, some controls, like the rotary gear selector and touch-sensitive buttons, have been criticized for being less intuitive. The SUV?s driving experience is smooth, with multiple driving modes and regenerative braking levels that enhance both performance and range. However, the cabin space is somewhat tight, especially for taller passengers in the rear, and the raised floor, due to battery placement, slightly reduces headroom?
