The number of CNG-powered Punch variants has increased from five to seven. Like with the petrol versions, the entry-level Pure, Adventure and Adventure Rhythm continue. However, there are a greater number of mid-spec and top-spec variants to choose from. Prices for the range-topping CNG variant has risen by about Rs 5,000.

As for features, the new Pure (O) petrol variant gets central locking, powered windows, powered ORVMs, wheel covers, and other bits over the base Pure trim. Meanwhile, the Adventure S and Adventure + S, as their names imply, add a sunroof and rear AC vents, among other things, to the Adventure Rhythm trim. Punch Accomplished + and the variants above it get the new and larger 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen; Creative + and Creative + S trims add a wireless charger as well.

Adventure + variants now get rear AC vents.

The exterior colour options for the Punch have also changed marginally, depending on the variant selected.

Pure variants get Orcus White and Daytona Grey finishes only; the Adventure and Adventure Rhythm also have a Tropical Mist finish. The sunroof-equipped Adventure trims add a Calypso Red paint shade, and the Accomplished variants are also available in Meteor Bronze. Finally, the Creative variants are available in five dual-tone finishes; the Meteor Bronze one available on the mid-spec variants is replaced by the signature Tornado Blue finish.

Tornado Blue only available on the Creative + variants.

Mechanically and aesthetically, there are no changes to the Punch, and for now, Tata's smallest SUV offering will continue with just the feature update.

The Tata Punch continues to rival the likes of the Hyundai Exter (Rs 6-Rs10.43 lakh), Citroen C3 (Rs 6.16-Rs 9.42 lakh^) and the Maruti Ignis (Rs 5.84-Rs 8.06 lakh).
