Tata Punch Facelift Teased– Updated Exterior Design Hinted
According to the teaser video shared by Tata Motors, the new Punch facelift will feature a revised front end. Visible updates include new LED headlamps and fog lamps, slimmer daytime running lights, a redesigned front grille, and a refreshed front bumper with a more muscular look. These changes appear aimed at strengthening the Punch’s SUV stance, aligning it more closely with Tata’s newer design language.
At the rear, the facelifted Punch is expected to get connected LED tail lamps, a feature now common across Tata’s latest models. The teaser also reveals a new set of dual-tone alloy wheels, further differentiating the updated version from the current car.
Overall, the design cues suggest that Tata Motors is positioning the facelifted Punch closer to its electric sibling, the Punch EV, in terms of styling consistency.
New Tata Punch Facelift Interior and Feature Expectations
While Tata Motors has not revealed the interior in the teaser, the facelift is expected to bring notable upgrades inside the cabin. Reports suggest the updated Punch could receive a larger 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a fully digital instrument cluster, and a new steering wheel design similar to other recent Tata launches.
Other expected additions include a revised dashboard layout, updated upholstery, and enhanced technology features. There are also indications that higher variants may offer features such as a 360-degree camera and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), although official confirmation is awaited.
Engine and Powertrain Details
Mechanically, the New Tata Punch Facelift is expected to retain the existing 1.2-litre, three-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine. In petrol form, the engine produces 87 bhp and 115 Nm of torque and is offered with a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed AMT gearbox.
The CNG version is also likely to continue, producing 72 bhp and 103 Nm of torque. This continuity suggests Tata is focusing the update on design and features rather than mechanical changes.
What This Means for Buyers
With the New Tata Punch Facelift Teased, Tata Motors aims to keep the Punch competitive in the highly contested micro-SUV segment, which has seen growing demand from first-time buyers and urban customers. Enhanced styling and added features could help the Punch maintain its strong sales momentum against newer rivals.
Full details, including variant-wise features and pricing, are expected to be revealed at the official launch on January 13.
