The Punch.ev boasts a modern and dynamic design that seamlessly blends form with function. Its LED projector headlights, sequential front indicators, and LED fog lamps with cornering functionality not only enhance visibility but also add a touch of sophistication.

 The 16-inch steel wheels in the Adventure variant and 16-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels in higher trims further elevate its aesthetics. Additional features such as the powered tailgate release and shark fin antenna highlight the attention to detail that has gone into crafting this vehicle.

Inside, the Punch.ev offers a luxurious experience with its digital dashboard, smart digital steering wheel featuring an illuminated Tata logo, and jeweled control knob for gear shifting in Long Range (LR) variants.

 The phygital ("physical" and "digital") control panel simplifies climate control, while ambient mood lighting creates a soothing environment. Practicality is further enhanced with the inclusion of a 'frunk' (front trunk), providing additional storage space.
