Upcoming Tata Punch CNG Facelift Spied Testing with Significant Upgrades

-The all-new Tata Punch Facelift is likely to draw design inspiration from its electric counterpart.
-It will continue to lock horns with the Hyundai Exter, Maruti Suzuki Fronx, and Nissan Magnite.

The Tata Punch is gearing up for a comprehensive makeover, and recent spy shots suggest that the updated micro SUV could debut as early as next year. The latest test mule, spotted in South India, offers a closer look at updates both inside and out. The images reveal that Tata is aiming for a sharper, more contemporary design, likely drawing inspiration from its electric counterpart. 

The front bumper has been redesigned, featuring a prominent central air vent, while a black panel spans the upper light clusters. The test mule also shows that the main headlamps remain LED, with pilot lights positioned above, replacing the conventional LED daytime running lamps.

The spotted test mule appears to be an upper mid-spec variant, packed with a solid set of features. One of the notable highlights is the new steering wheel with an illuminated Tata logo. It is complemented by a digital instrument cluster with a noticeably larger display and a prominent, freestanding touchscreen infotainment system.

While there is no official confirmation, the updated Punch is expected to offer several comfort and tech-focused upgrades, including a premium sound system and ventilated seats, enhancing its appeal in the competitive segment.

In terms of safety, Tata is likely to add features such as a 360-degree camera and a blind-spot monitor, further strengthening the Punch’s credentials as a well-rounded micro-SUV.

Tata Punch CNG Facelift: Engine

The updated Tata Punch is expected to retain its technical setup, which means both petrol and CNG variants will continue to be powered by a 1.2-litre, four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine and a 5-speed manual gearbox. The facelifted petrol version is likely to retain the AMT option, though it remains unclear whether its CNG counterpart will be offered with the same or not. Additionally, the CNG model is expected to feature Tata’s dual-cylinder technology.
