The Maruti Punch EV was launched in the Indian EV market with a design almost identical to its styling counterpart, thus announcing its electric credentials.
While the compact and muscular stance of the regular Punch is kept, the EV version adds styling elements such as a closed-off grille, signature DRLs, and a new front bumper design. Aerodynamic alloy wheels and blue accents all around the exterior emphasize its green imprint, which is balanced against the rugged appeal of a mini SUV.
Well-Appointed Cabin with Tech Upscale
Inside, the Punch EV offers a tech-laden cabin that is comfortable yet functional. The dashboard sports a digital instrument cluster alongside a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Features added by Maruti include automatic climate control, drive mode selectors in a rotary format, push-button start, and connected car technology. Provision for a comfortable seating of five people is supplemented with respectable boot space for the Punch EV, making it optimally practical for sporadic daily use and weekend errands.
Range to Impress Along with Silky-Smooth Performance
The Punch EV is equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor mated to a 35 kWh battery pack. This motor-battery combo has a claimed maximum range of 315 km on a single full battery charge, thus fitting squarely into city and semi-urban needs.
There are two driving modes-Eco and Sport-for different kinds of driving requirements. The Punch EV comes with support for fast charging, by which 80% of the battery gets charged in merely 56 minutes, a boon for an active lifestyle. The Punch EV also incorporates a regenerative braking system to save its range in stop-start city traffic.
Reasonable Price Encouraging Mass EV Adoption
With its sub-ex-showroom price of ₹10.99 lakh, this Maruti Punch EV intends to make electric mobility available to as many people as possible.
Their running costs are also low, and if government subsidies apply, they become increasingly attractive to the buyer who must watch his every penny before switching to electric vehicles. The Punch EV, therefore, stands out not just for its affordability but for delivering a practical range, modern technology, and trusted Maruti reliability-the recipe for a compelling proposition in the burgeoning EV space.
