The Tata Punch recently became India’s best selling car and to continue its sales momentum, Tata Motors will soon introduce the facelifted Punch in the market.

Here’s a look at what all will be new on the Tata Punch facelift.
- New cosmetic updates expected from Punch EV
- Larger 10.25-inch touchscreen, wireless connectivity
- No mechanical changes expected

Tata Punch facelift: design highlights
On the cosmetic front, the Punch is expected to borrow cues from the Punch EV, although some differentiation will be maintained like on the Nexon and Nexon EV. So, a significantly revised fascia with new LED DRL signatures, new headlamps and new bumpers can be expected. On the inside, apart from the equipment upgrades, there could be new upholstery as a revised colour scheme for the dashboard.
Tata Punch facelift: no mechanical changes
There wont be any mechanical changes as the same 1.2-litre three-cylinder petrol engine will continue with a 5-speed manual or an AMT gearbox. The engine produces 86hp and 113Nm of torque. It will also get a CNG-powered variant, just like the outgoing Punch, and an AMT gearbox might be on offer too with CNG.
Upon launch, the Punch facelift will continue to rival the likes of the Hyundai Exter and the Citroen C3 along with lower variants of the Nissan Magnite (facelift due next month) and Renault Kiger.
