Tata Motors has officially launched the Tata Punch Facelift in the Indian market, with prices starting at ₹5.59 lakh (ex-showroom). Bookings for the updated micro-SUV are now open, and the facelift aims to make the Punch more competitive against rivals like the Hyundai Exter, Nissan Magnite, Renault Kiger, and Mahindra XUV 3XO. With updated styling, new features, improved technology, and multiple powertrain options, the Tata Punch Facelift strengthens Tata Motors’ presence in the budget SUV segment.
Tata Punch Facelift Updated Exterior Design
The Tata Punch Facelift retains its signature boxy SUV stance but now comes with a more modern and aggressive look. Inspired by the Punch.ev, the facelift features redesigned LED headlamps, sleeker daytime running lights (DRLs), and LED fog lamps with cornering functionality.
Other visual upgrades include a refreshed front grille, sportier bumpers, new alloy wheel designs, and an updated LED tail-lamp cluster. While it skips a full-width LED light bar, Tata has added practical features such as automatic headlamps, rain-sensing wipers, and a rear washer-wiper. New colour options introduced with the facelift include Cyantafic, Caramel, Bengal Rouge, and Coorg Clouds.
Tata Punch Facelift Interior and Features
Inside, the Tata Punch Facelift gets a refreshed cabin layout with a more premium feel. The dashboard now houses a larger 26.03 cm touchscreen infotainment system and a 17.8 cm digital instrument cluster. The dual-tone interior theme, redesigned controls, and central armrest add to overall comfort.
Feature highlights include 360-degree surround view camera, automatic climate control, auto-dimming IRVM, and updated infotainment software, aligning the Punch with Tata’s latest interior design language.
Tata Punch Facelift Safety Remains a Key Highlight
Safety continues to be a strong point for the Tata Punch. The facelifted model retains its 5-star safety rating for both adults and children. It comes equipped with six airbags as standard, along with ESP, Hill Descent Control, ISOFIX child seat mounts, and other essential safety technologies.
Tata Punch Engine and Powertrain Options
The Tata Punch Facelift is offered with multiple engine choices. The highlight is the new 1.2-litre iTurbo petrol engine, which produces 120 PS and 170 Nm of torque, paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox. Tata claims a 0–100 kmph time of 11.1 seconds, making it the most powerful Punch yet. The regular 1.2-litre Revotron petrol engine continues with manual and AMT options, while a factory-fitted CNG variant is also available for buyers focused on fuel efficiency.
Tata Punch Facelift Variants and Price
The Tata Punch Facelift is available in six variants – Smart, Pure, Pure+, Adventure, Accomplished, and Accomplished+ S. Prices start at ₹5.59 lakh (ex-showroom) and go up depending on the variant and powertrain selected.
Conclusion
With its refreshed design, improved features, powerful engine options, and strong safety credentials, the Tata Punch Facelift is set to attract urban buyers and first-time car owners. The update makes the Punch a more compelling choice in the competitive compact SUV segment, where value, safety, and style matter the most.
