With refreshed styling, advanced technology, and improved efficiency, Tata Motors has made the Punch range more appealing than ever for urban buyers and first-time SUV owners.

Bold New Design & Road Presence

The 2026 facelift introduces a sharper and more modern design language:

Sleek LED DRLs and connected LED tail lamps
New alloy wheels and refreshed styling elements

These updates enhance the Punch’s rugged SUV stance while giving it a more premium and futuristic appeal.

Battery & Range

Two battery options: 30 kWh & 40 kWh
Up to 468 km (ARAI range) on a single charge
Fast charging: 20–80% in just 26 minutes

The facelift significantly upgrades the cabin experience:

Large 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system
Digital instrument cluster
Wireless charging & ventilated seats
Voice-enabled sunroof and connected car tech

Top variants even offer dual screens and premium upholstery, making the Punch feel far more upscale than before.

Safety Comes First

Safety continues to be a strong pillar of the Punch lineup:

Up to 6 airbags
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
360-degree camera
Hill hold and parking assist

The model has also been recognized among top safety performers in India, reflecting Tata’s focus on passenger protection.

 Affordable & Flexible Pricing
