Tata Punch Facelift Spied On Test, Fronx Rival Getting An Update Soon

Tata Punch is one of the best-sellers for the homegrown automaker. However, it is long overdue for an update after being on sale for over 3 years now. The news is - Tata Motors is gearing up to launch the updated version of the Tata Punch in the country. After its launch in October 2021, this will be the first time that Punch will get a mid-life makeover. Confirming this, the test mule of the Tata Punch facelift has been spotted testing in Pune, loaded with heavy camo. Even though the Punch facelift test mule was covered, it does reveal key highlights of the exterior.

On the outside, the Punch facelift retains most of the highlights from the outgoing model. The design will be more in line with the refreshed Tata line-up, featuring connected LED DRLs, along with a split-type headlamp assembly. The bumper units on both ends will also be restyled. Moreover, the alloy wheel design will be changed too.

On the inside, the Tata Punch might not get the 10.25-inch instrument cluster and get the 7-inch unit instead. The spy shots indicate that the Tata Punch facelift will get the 2-spoke steering wheel with illuminated brand logo in the centre. The updated model will retain most of the interior features like voice-assisted electric sunroof, engine start/stop, rear AC vents, fast USB charger, and more. The brand is also expected to upgrade the safety suite of the Punch with the facelifted iteration, with 6 airbags as standard and more.

Under the hood, powertrain choices will be carried over from the outgoing model - a 1.2-litre petrol engine, which is available in both petrol and CNG guise. The 1.2L NA petrol unit with its 3-pot setup currently delivers a peak power output of 87.8 hp, and it can be bought with either a 5-speed MT or a 5-speed AMT. With the updates in place, the Punch facelift could get dearer by up to Rs 30,000-50,000.
