I am not putting plastic packaged foods and cold drink in the frunk, maybe something that needs a hot box

oh man, that is something i would miss. Ever had a mix of people who avoid AC and ones who can't live without AC at the same time?
Hope they have it atleast in the top trim, i think that's the setup Nexon had.

I hope this car wouldn't have any major niggles like a few of Tata 's other EVs

Only P R N D modes? No Sports?

I think the buttons for switching between city, sports & eco will be besides the rotary knob as it was in the Nexon EV Max.

A friend has booked a punch EV and has a following to share.

-The car looks premium with the EV version facelift, and the white oxide shade adds to it.
-Rear seat underthigh support is adequate for a 5’9” person. Even after being an LR variant, the display car does not seem to have a higher floor than ICE.
-Contrary to expectations, it has no flat floor like the MG hector.
-Overall, the interior seemed more premium than the ICE punch.

Seems like Punch.EV does get the auto dimming IRVM.

They are again marketing a relatively shallow and flat transmission tunnel as flat floor as they did with Altroz & Punch ICE.

Could ask your friend if there are rear AC vents? Also which city/ dealership is this?

Indore. It doesn’t have rear AC vents.
Also, he added that the (frunk) front boot, as advertised, is an optional accessory. The stock car comes with a plastic engine cover.

I don't see a frunk in the leaked video. Is it not based on new Gen 2 architecture?

This shows that they are using the same chassis as the ICE variant without raising the floor which means gen2 architecture has a flat battery. Having the same floor as ICE is a big advantage when you see it from Nexon.EV stand point

Frunk is an optional accessory is what is mentioned by bhpian above. Rest we will come to know at the launch Punch is the first car on gen2 architecture

Another dealership

No spare wheel.

Proper walk around!
It baffles me how they display the cars in the showrooms prior to launch.

I am not a fan of the piano black finish with fingerprints and scratches all over it.

I really hope some of the lower variants are available with buttons in the center and the classic old steering that Punch-ICE has.
