The 2026 Tata Punch.ev facelift has arrived with a revised powertrain, updated styling, and significantly more aggressive pricing.
Powered by a new integrated 6-in-1 EV drive unit, the Punch.ev now comes with two battery options - 30kWh and 40kWh. The larger 40kWh version produces 95kW and 153.8Nm, supports up to 65kW DC fast charging, and claims an ARAI range of around 476km.
But how much range can you realistically expect?
Has the improved acceleration made it quicker in everyday driving?
And does the switch to rear drum brakes affect braking performance?
In this detailed review, Kingshuk tests the 2026 Tata Punch.ev facelift on highways and in city conditions to evaluate its real-world range, ride comfort, performance, charging speeds, features, practicality, and overall value proposition.
With the top variant now nearly ₹1.85 lakh cheaper than before, the Punch.ev positions itself as one of the most affordable long-range electric cars in India.
Is this the most practical small EV for daily urban commuting in 2026?
