2026 Tata Punch facelift launched in India; prices start at ₹5.59 lakh
- The Tata Punch facelift is now on sale in India from ₹5.59 lakh, featuring updated styling, a refreshed interior with a larger touchscreen, a new turbo-petrol option, and a 5-star Bharat NCAP rating.
What’s new on the outside?
The Punch facelift gets a visibly reworked front end. The fascia has been completely redesigned, with the headlamp units now repositioned and housed differently than before, giving the SUV a sharper look. While the side profile remains largely unchanged, Tata has added a new set of alloy wheels to freshen things up.
At the rear, the changes are easier to spot. The tail lamps have been redesigned and are now connected by a full-width LED light bar. The lower section of the rear bumper has also been restyled, rounding off the exterior updates.
