Intro

The Tata Punch facelift has been spotted testing again, with design tweaks and a new cabin; the Tata Punch facelift needs to stay fresh in a hot micro SUV segment. Here’s what the latest spy shots confirm, and what’s under the skin.

What the spy shots reveal

Recent camouflaged mules in Pune show updated taillamps that form a connected LED light bar across the tailgate, plus minor bumper changes and new alloy designs for a more premium look. Up front, it’s Punch.ev inspired: a new grille, slimmer DRLs and a reshaped headlamp housing to make it look more street friendly. The silhouette is familiar, the Punch’s upright city friendly proportions remain.

Cabin gets a tech boost

Cabin updates appear to include a larger, freestanding 10.25-inch touchscreen, a full-digital driver display, and Tata’s latest two‑spoke steering wheel with an illuminated emblem – together signaling a noticeable lift in perceived quality. A touch based climate panel is expected, while safety kit could go up to 6 airbags in higher variants to make it more family friendly. These upgrades will make daily driving more enjoyable without complicating the simple, tough character that owners love.

Engines and expected performance

Under the hood, the Tata Punch facelift is likely to carry forward the 1.2-litre petrol and petrol-CNG engines with 5-speed MT and 5-speed AMT, so running costs will be predictable and service network will be simple. Current outputs are 88 PS and 115 Nm for petrol, perfect for city driving and light highway use; expect similar numbers if Tata prioritizes reliability over numbers. For buyers, that means proven hardware with no surprises and easy ownership.

Launch window, price and rivals

Timelines vary but the Tata Punch facelift is expected to launch by late 2025, with ex-showroom prices around Rs 6 lakh depending on variants and safety spec. Expect familiar rivals: Hyundai Exter and Maruti Ignis, along with similarly priced variants of Fronx, Taisor, C3, Magnite and Kiger, where feature per rupee and ADAS will be the talking point. If 6 airbags and bigger screen reaches mid trims, the value equation could shift in favour of the Punch.

Why it matters

A connected-lamp look and bigger screen brings showroom shine, while carryover engines keep costs in check – good news for first timers and urban families on a budget. That’s where the Tata Punch excels.
