Tata Punch Facelift Launched in India at Rs 5.59 Lakh, Bookings Now Open

The Tata Punch SUV has undergone a thorough makeover nearly four years after its launch in October 2021. The updated model, priced from Rs 5.59 lakh (introductory, ex-showroom), comes with major improvements across both the cosmetic and mechanical fronts. Its looks are now aligned with Tata’s current design language, particularly that seen on the Punch EV and the Altroz Racer. For years, the Punch has been a strong revenue driver for Tata Motors in the subcompact SUV segment. The facelift, featuring a new design and a turbo-petrol engine option, is expected to build on this success while continuing to compete with the same rivals, including the Hyundai Exter, Nissan Magnite, Citroen C3, and Maruti Suzuki Ignis. Here’s all you need to know about the new Tata Punch Facelift in detail.

Tata Punch Facelift: Exterior and Interior

While the boxy stance remains intact, Tata has introduced noticeable styling upgrades across the SUV’s front, side, and rear to make it a bit more contemporary. These include slim DRLs, reworked bumpers, new 16-inch dual-tone alloy wheels, updated Tata logos, connected LED taillights, and a relocated rear camera. Tata has also introduced four new colour options for the SUV: Cyantific Blue, Caramel, Bengal Rouge (Red), and Coorg Clouds. 

Similar to the exterior, the ICE-powered Punch facelift also gets a host of updates inside the cabin. While the overall dashboard layout remains the same, Tata has introduced a new dual-tone theme with grey and blue seat upholstery.

The climate control panel has been updated as well, now featuring a touch-based interface complemented by physical toggles for ease of use. Moreover, there’s a new two-spoke steering wheel, which comes with an illuminated Tata logo.

Tata Punch Facelift: Features

Following the update, Tata Motors has made the Punch facelift significantly more feature-packed. Key amenities include a 7-inch digital instrument cluster and a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, extendable thigh support (front and rear seats), and a 65W Type-C fast charger. 

The SUV is also equipped with six standard airbags, ABS with EBD, electronic stability control, hill descent control, a 360-degree camera system, and a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), automatic climate control, cruise control, a single-pane sunroof, and keyless entry with push-button start/stop.

Tata Punch Facelift: Engine

The Tata Punch SUV, in its facelifted avatar, adds a new turbo-petrol engine option to its lineup, which also includes a naturally aspirated petrol unit and a CNG variant. The new 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission, delivers 118bhp at 5,500rpm and 170Nm between 1,750 and 4,000rpm.
