CarDekho Says…

If you are interested in picking the facelifted Tata Punch EV, we would recommend you choose from either the mid-spec Adventure or the higher-spec Empowered variants. These offer the most value-for-money deal in the electric SUV's entire lineup and cover more than just the essentials in the form of some premium exterior touches, plenty of comfort and convenience amenities, and a slightly beefier safety kit. With these two, you also get the larger 40 kWh battery pack and a more powerful motor along with a much higher claimed range, resulting in a complete package for the price.
