Tata Punch.ev

The Tata Punch.ev is a compact electric SUV that fits a lot of everyday practicality into a body under four metres long. Sipradi Trading sells it in Nepal in three variants. The Smart +32 costs Rs. 33,99,000, the Empowered 40 costs Rs. 37,99,000, and the top Empowered +S 40 costs Rs. 38,99,000.

The Smart +32 uses a 32 kWh battery with a 65 kW motor and has a certified MIDC range of 365 km. Both Empowered variants get a 40 kWh battery and a stronger 95 kW motor, with a certified range of 468 km and a 0 to 100 km/h time of 9 seconds. In real-world driving, expect roughly 240 to 260 km from the smaller pack and 300 to 325 km from the larger one. A 3.3 kW home wall box is included. On a 65 kW DC fast charger, you'll go from 10 to 80% in about 30 minutes. Both packs are liquid-cooled and IP67-rated, which means they're sealed against dust and water.

Ground clearance is 195 mm, generous for a car this size, so broken roads and tall speed breakers are less of a worry. You get 366 litres of boot space. Every version has six airbags, electronic stability control, and ISOFIX child seat mounts. The Empowered 40 adds a 10.25-inch touchscreen, a 360° camera, and cruise control. The Empowered +S 40 brings ventilated front seats and a sunroof.

The battery and motor are each covered for 8 years or 1,60,000 km. Check the variants table below for the full trim-by-trim breakdown.
