Tata Motors is preparing to launch the much-awaited Tata Punch Facelift in early 2025, and it’s bringing a host of design and tech upgrades to keep the micro-SUV ahead in its game. One of the best-selling compact SUVs in the country, the new Punch will get a more aggressive front fascia, modern interiors, and added features to compete with upcoming rivals like the Hyundai Exter facelift and Citroën C3.
Refreshed Exterior With Signature EV-Like Styling
The 2025 Tata Punch will sport a new front grille, split LED headlamp setup, and revised front and rear bumpers inspired by Tata’s EV lineup such as the Punch.ev and Nexon.ev. The facelifted model is expected to get full-width DRLs, updated alloy wheel designs, and tweaked LED taillamps for a more upmarket road presence. New dual-tone color schemes will also be introduced to attract younger buyers.
Updated Cabin With 10.25-Inch Touchscreen and Fully Digital Cluster
Inside, the Punch Facelift is set to receive a bigger 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Wireless Android Auto & Apple CarPlay, a 7-inch digital instrument cluster, touch-based climate controls, and revised dashboard layout with soft-touch inserts. The top variants are likely to offer voice commands, connected car features, auto headlamps, cruise control, and possibly a sunroof in the future-ready variants.
Same Reliable Powertrain, With Focus on Efficiency and Safety
The Punch Facelift is expected to continue with the 1.2L Revotron petrol engine producing 86 PS and 113 Nm, mated to a 5-speed manual and AMT options. The popular Punch CNG variant will also return with twin-cylinder technology for enhanced boot space. Tata may improve refinement and drivability, especially in the AMT version. The facelift will retain a 5-star Global NCAP rating, dual airbags, ABS with EBD, ESC, and rear camera in top variants.
Expected Price and Launch Timeline in India
The Tata Punch Facelift is expected to debut by Q1 2025, with prices ranging between ₹6 lakh to ₹10 lakh (ex-showroom). It will continue to be sold through Tata’s ICE and CNG networks, and may also receive additional EV variants down the line to strengthen Tata’s micro SUV dominance.
Conclusion:
The Tata Punch Facelift 2025 promises a solid upgrade to an already successful micro SUV. With its fresh design, smarter tech, efficient engines, and Tata’s safety assurance, it’s poised to stay on top of the segment. For buyers looking for a bold, compact, feature-rich urban SUV, the upcoming Punch facelift could be the perfect choice.
