Tata Motors has unveiled the updated Punch EV facelift, following the release of the modified ICE variant of the SUV. The company is set to launch the battery electric vehicle version of the micro SUV on February 20. In its updated avatar, the Punch EV is expected to bring changes in the feature list along with the updates in design, which have been partially revealed by the automaker.
Tata Punch EV Facelift: Design
The most significant change is at the front. The revamped Punch EV eliminates the black trim that previously connected the headlamps and replaces it with a sleeker, closed-off grille section, enhancing the SUV's streamlined appearance. A continuous LED light bar now connects the daytime running lights, while the lower scuff plate of the front bumper has a subtly redesigned look for a more contemporary presence. Tata has also introduced new aero-efficient alloy wheels inspired by the larger Nexon EV.

To add some excitement, the facelift will be available in a new exterior color inspired by the Harrier's 'Sunlit Yellow,' complemented by a contrasting black roof. Although Tata has not yet disclosed the design details for the rear, it is expected that the EV will feature connected LED tail lamps similar to those on the petrol version.
