Tata Punch EV facelift: Design

The most noticeable changes are at the front. The updated Punch EV does away with the black strip that earlier ran between the headlamps, opting instead for a neater, sealed-off grille area that sharpens its overall look. A full-width LED light strip now joins the daytime running lamps, and the lower section of the front bumper has been subtly revised to enhance the SUV’s contemporary appeal.

Adding to the visual updates is a new body colour inspired by the Harrier’s Sunlit Yellow, which will be offered with a contrasting black roof. While the rear design has yet to be officially revealed, the electric SUV is likely to feature connected LED tail lamps, in line with the petrol-powered Punch. Other highlights will include a charging port at the front, skid plates on both ends, an integrated spoiler, a shark fin antenna and more.

Other interior highlights will include a two-spoke steering wheel with illuminated logo, piano black centre console, rotary drive selector with a centre screen, touch-sensitive AC control panel, contoured door panels, angular air vents with silver accents and more.
