Tata Motors is all set to launch the facelifted Tata Punch in India on January 13, 2026. The updated version of Tata’s popular sub-4-metre SUV will come with refreshed styling, new features, additional colour options, and a more powerful turbo-petrol engine.
Tata Motors will officially introduce the Punch Facelift in India on January 13, 2026. Ahead of its launch, the company has already revealed key details related to the SUV’s design, variants, and colour options. In the Indian market, the new Punch will compete mainly with the Hyundai Exter and other compact SUVs.
The Tata Punch Facelift retains its familiar silhouette but gets a sharper and more modern front fascia. The headlights have been redesigned with new lighting elements, while the Daytime Running Lamps (DRLs) now feature Tata’s latest signature design seen on models like the Nexon, Harrier and Safari.
Additional highlights include:
Piano black accents
Redesigned lower grille
New skid plates
These upgrades give the Punch a more sporty yet premium appearance.
At the rear, the facelifted Punch gets newly designed tail-lamps and updated detailing. While the overall outline remains similar to the current model, the reshaped rear bumper adds a more rugged and muscular look, improving the SUV’s road presence.
Inside the cabin, Tata has made several improvements:
A new twin-spoke steering wheel with an illuminated Tata logo
Toggle-style switches replacing traditional buttons
Redesigned AC vents
A 7-inch TFT digital instrument cluster
These changes give the interior a more modern and premium feel.
The updated Punch will offer several new features, including:
360-degree camera system
Six airbags for enhanced safety
Updated infotainment system
These upgrades make the Punch more competitive in the compact SUV segment.
Tata Motors has introduced new colour choices to boost the Punch’s appeal. Buyers will be able to choose from:
Sianntafic Blue
Caramel Yellow
Bengal Rouge Red
Daytona Grey
Coorg Clouds Silver
Pristine White
The recently spotted Coorg Clouds Silver shade highlights the refreshed look of the SUV.
The Punch Facelift will come with a 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine, already used in other Tata models. This will be offered alongside the existing 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, giving buyers more performance options.
While detailed specifications are yet to be announced, the turbo engine is expected to significantly improve driving dynamics and overall performance.
The current Tata Punch is priced between ₹5.50 lakh and ₹9.30 lakh (ex-showroom).
The facelifted version is expected to be priced between ₹6 lakh and ₹10 lakh (ex-showroom).
The Tata Punch Facelift will compete in the compact SUV segment against:
Hyundai Exter
Maruti Suzuki Ignis
Renault Kiger
