The concept was shown at 2023 Auto Expo, Delhi. Designed as a flagship electric vehicle, it’s built on a new dedicated Electric Global Modular Platform (E-GMP).

    Tata Punch.ev Interiors Spied – Reveals Key Features

    Tata Punch.ev interiors spiedMain rivals for Tata Punch.ev are upcoming Exter EV, along with models like Citroen eC3 and Renault Kiger EVWith ICE and CNG segments already covered, the next battle between Punch and Exter will be fought in the electric realm. Both carmakers are busy testing their respective electric versions. Punch.ev has made multiple appearances before and the recent spy shots show new details about interiors.Tata Punch.ev – what to expect?Punch.ev will be launched before Exter EV, owing to the sheer number of former’s test mules spotted. While Tata Punch has been hugely successful, it has now got a potent rival in the form of Hyundai Exter. In July, Exter was the 3rd bestselling Hyundai car. It has registered sales of 7,000 units. Punch sales in July were at 12,019 units.Owing to previous electrification strategies with Nexon, Tiago and Tigor, there won’t be any major changes to exteriors of Punch.ev. Only minor elements like a full-width LED DRL along with EV-specific badging, are expected with Punch.ev. The recent spy shots show glimpses of the inside, which were camouflaged on previous test mules.For the first time, we can spot a large infotainment screen and an auto-dimming IRVM. Both of these are not on offer with ICE Punch. This screen could be 10.2-inch in size, similar to ICE Nexon and not the 12.3-inch unit on Nexon.ev. Instrument cluster may be shared with new Nexon facelift too, with fully configurable digital display.Tata Punch.ev exteriors spiedNotable attributes with Punch.ev are projector headlamps, top-mounted LED DRLs, squarish wheel arches, 90° opening doors, thick body cladding, roof rails, rear disc brakes and sporty tail lamps. Punch EV is expected to get a new set of wheels that will be designed for improved aerodynamics.Different interiors with different trim levels?Features on the inside will vary based on the trim. This has been evidenced by test mules that have been spotted with varying equipment on the inside. Top-spec variants of Punch EV are expected to get premium elements such as a new two-spoke steering wheel from Nexon facelift with a backlit Tata logo, along with touch and toggle steering controls.Lower trims of Punch EV could continue with the steering wheel in use with ICE Punch. Lower trims of Punch EV could borrow a lot of equipment from Tiago EV. On the other hand, higher trims could get features from Nexon.ev variants like 360-degree cameras, and electronic parking brakes among others.Lower trim Tata Punch Electric interiorsAutomatic climate control, push-button start/stop, auto fold ORVMs, leather-wrapped steering wheel and gear knob and cooled glove box are among the notable attributes.Punch EV performance, rangeJust like the ICE version, Tata Punch.ev will be primed to deliver an exhilarating drive experience. With the electric setup, a tangible difference is expected in areas such as acceleration, noise and vibrations. While specs have not been revealed, the powertrain could be a tweaked version of the one in use with Tiago EV.Range is expected to be around 300 to 350 km. For reference, Tiago EV has variants with range of 250 km and 315 km from a 19.2 kWh and 24 kWh battery respectively. Range of around 350 km seems sufficient for everyday commutes and short inter-city or weekend excursions.Source More

All three vehicles are demonstrating their prowess on Mahindra’s SUV Proving Track in Chennai.In the recent teaser, one of Mahindra’s next-gen EVs touched 200 km/h on the speedometer, which is an impressive speed envelope for an electric vehicle.

    2023 Nexon Electric Debut On 7th Sep – New Name Nexon.ev

    2023 Nexon Electric teasedThe new Tata Nexon EV will undergo a transformation in the model lineup and trim lineups like its ICE counterpartTata Motors is bringing Nexon EV to the modern era with its first facelift.

It is now called Nexon.ev. Tata will unveil 2023 Nexon EV on 7th September, while launch will happen alongside 2023 Nexon on 14th September.2023 Tata Nexon EV TeasedNexon EV is the vehicle that popularised electric cars in India. Till that point in time, India was familiar with just a couple of electric cars with much to be desired in performance, appeal and range department. One can say Nexon EV single-handedly changed EV landscape in India and even popularised the genre.2023 Nexon Electric teasedJust like its ICE counterpart unveiled yesterday, Nexon EV will feature a similar design theme inspired by Curvv concept. This is not surprising as current Nexon EV shared almost every single design aspect with its ICE counterpart. But, Tata is bringing visual differences between Nexon ICE and EV models.This visual change is in the form of a new LED DRL pattern. In ICE Nexon facelift, LED DRLs have a split approach. In this sense, they aren’t connected. However, Nexon EV will feature a connected design LED DRLs at the front. This will be the key visual difference between Nexon ICE and EV models.[embedded content]These DRLs have dynamic functions too, emerging from the middle and flowing towards the ends. A similar dynamic function is present with LED tail lights as well, as seen in the teaser. Sort of a welcome function, seen in much higher-end cars. This might just be a visual trick, but significantly enhances the premium quotient.2023 Nexon Electric teasedWhat to expect from Nexon EV facelift?Mechanically (or rather, electrically), Nexon EV facelift will remain identical to the current model. The same 30.2 kWh and 40.5 kWh battery pack options with Prime and Max models will continue duty along with their respective motor configs. Range figures are likely to stay put as well – 312 km with Prime and 453 km Max.However, there will be an overhaul in the trim lineup Just like its ICE counterpart. So, Nexon EV Prime and Nexon EV Max will be renamed to Nexon EV MR (Medium Range) and Nexon EV LR (Long Range) respectively. Similar to Tiago EV’s lineup. Other than DRLs in the front, Nexon EV could feature different wheel designs too.2023 Nexon Electric teasedTrim levels with both MR and LR models will align with what Tata is offering with ICE Nexon facelift – Smart, Pure, Creative and Fearless. With S variants with a sunroof and + variants with optional kit. Features like the new 10.25” touchscreen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, 10.25” fully digital and configurable instrument screen, the new touch and toggle based HVAC controls, two-spoke steering wheel with illuminated logo, ventilated front seats will be similar to ICE Nexon.
