Tata Motors is set to debut the all-electric model of the Tata Punch Compact SUV at the upcoming Auto Expo 2023, scheduled next month. Its launch is expected to happen around Diwali in 2023.
Tata Punch EV architecture is used in the ICE-powered Punch version, including the Altroz hatchback. It is said to have a heavily modified version of the ALFA platform, which has space to place a large battery pack.
The model is expected to look similar to the ICE model and will have a similar powertrain as Tata's existing EVs. On the pricing front, it will be priced near or above the Tata Tiago EV. The EV is expected to look like the regular Punch while featuring blue highlights, as seen on other Tata EVs. However, the company has yet to share any technical details of the EV, but we can expect it to source the Ziptron powertrain from its sibling models.
Moreover, Tata will be increasing the price of its vehicles starting from January 2023, the Managing Director Passenger Vehicle and Electric Vehicles, Shailesh Chandra, said.
