Interior & Feature Enhancements
Inside, the Punch facelift brings upgraded technology: a larger 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system (Harman), full digital instrument cluster of similar size, and changes to the centre console. More variants may now offer a sunroof, rear AC vents, wireless charging, USB-C fast charging ports, and revised upholstery/colour schemes. Features like wireless Android Auto / Apple CarPlay, improved cabin materials, ventilated seats and ambient lighting are likely in upper trims.
Engine, Powertrain & Mechanical Details
The mechanical side will stay largely the same. The facelift is expected to retain the 1.2-litre three-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine producing ~88 PS and ~113-115 Nm torque. A CNG variant (≈ 73-75 PS, ≈ 103 Nm) will continue. Transmission options include a 5-speed manual and a 5-speed AMT with petrol; manual (and possibly AMT) with CNG. No major performance or drivetrain overhauls are expected.
Dimensions, Space & Practicality
Expected dimensions for the facelifted Punch are roughly 3,827 mm in length, 1,742 mm width, 1,615 mm height, with a wheelbase of about 2,445 mm. Ground clearance remains strong (≈ 180-190 mm), and boot space is expected to be similar to the current model. Fuel tank capacity remains around 37 litres. Cabin space, seating for 5, and general ergonomics remain user-friendly and oriented toward city and light country road usage.
Estimated Pricing & Segment Positioning
With the updates, the ex-showroom price of the Tata Punch facelift is expected to range between **₹6.00 lakh and ₹11.00 lakh**, depending on variant and feature list. Base trims will retain affordability, while feature-rich trims with sunroof, safety tech and premium features will push towards the upper portion. Competitors include the Hyundai Exter, Citroen C3, Maruti Fronx, Renault Kiger and Nissan Magnite.
Conclusion
The Tata Punch facelift is shaping up to be a strong update in the micro-SUV segment. With refreshed styling, upgraded interior tech, and improved feature list, Tata aims to keep Punch relevant amid growing competition. Since the powertrain remains largely unchanged, the natural advantage will be in looks, comfort, and features rather than performance boosts. If you value safety, updated tech, and SUV styling in a compact package, the new Punch facelift seems well worth waiting for.
