If you’re waiting for the next big thing in compact SUVs, your wait might end this festive season.
Tata Motors has confirmed the Tata Punch Facelift 2025, and it’s bringing a refreshed design, more premium interiors, and tech-packed features—all without losing its budget-friendly appeal.
Set to launch around October 2025, the new Punch is already being spotted during test runs. And the spy shots reveal some exciting changes!
What’s New in the Tata Punch 2025?
Here’s a detailed breakdown of what’s expected to change in the facelift:
| Category | Expected Upgrades |
| Exterior Design | EV-inspired front with sleek LED DRLs, slim headlamps, new grille, and alloy wheels |
| Rear Styling | Revised bumper, possible connected tail lamps |
| Infotainment System | 10.25-inch touchscreen (shared with Punch EV) |
| Dashboard & Steering | Two-spoke flat-bottom wheel, layered dash, glossy black trims, digital instrument panel |
| HVAC Controls | Touch-based climate controls (like Altroz Racer) |
| Variants | Pure, Pure(O), Adventure S, Adventure+ S, Creative+ (same as current lineup) |
Engine & Powertrain – No Major Mechanical Changes
While the design is new, the engine options stay the same—but that’s not bad news. The current engine is already fuel-efficient and reliable.
Petrol Variant:
- 1.2 NA Petrol (3-Cylinder)
- Power: 86 bhp
- Torque: 113 Nm
- Gearbox: 5-speed Manual or AMT
CNG Variant:
- Power: 73.4 bhp
- Torque: 103 Nm
- Currently: Manual only
- Expected Update: AMT may be added for better city comfort
If Tata adds an AMT to the CNG variant, it could become a hot pick for budget-conscious urban buyers.
Premium Interior Touches – Now More Urban & Stylish
The Punch is getting more than just a cosmetic refresh.
Here’s what you can expect inside:
- A larger 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with slim bezels
- A fully digital instrument cluster
- Touch-based AC controls (like the new Altroz)
- Glossy inserts, layered dashboard, and better upholstery
- New two-spoke steering wheel with illuminated Tata logo
These upgrades make the Punch feel more upmarket, especially for first-time car buyers.
Expected Price & Variants
The current Tata Punch starts at ₹6.20 lakh and goes up to ₹10.32 lakh (ex-showroom).
With the facelift, expect a price bump of ₹20,000–₹40,000.
| Variant | Expected Price (Ex-Showroom) |
| Pure (Base) | ₹6.40 lakh |
| Creative+ (Top) | ₹10.70 lakh |
| CNG Top Model | ₹9.70 lakh |
Even with the price hike, Punch will still be among the most affordable, feature-rich SUVs under ₹11 lakh.
Myths vs Truth – Clear the Confusion
| Myth | Truth |
| Small SUVs don’t get big upgrades | Punch 2025 gets touchscreen, digital cluster, touch HVAC, and new grille |
| CNG cars are boring to drive | Punch CNG has peppy performance for city driving |
| Only EVs have premium dashboards | Punch facelift brings EV-inspired interiors even to petrol/CNG models |
| AMT is not useful in small cars | AMT in Punch makes city driving smoother and less stressful |
Tata’s SUV Plans – Another Mini SUV Coming Soon!
Tata is not stopping at Punch. A new SUV codenamed “Scarlet” is in development. It’ll sit between the Punch and Nexon.
Expected features:
- Boxy SUV styling inspired by Sierra
- Likely to get both EV and ICE options
- Powertrains could be shared with Nexon or Curvv
- Expected launch in late 2026
Tata clearly wants to dominate the sub-4m SUV segment—and it’s on the right track.
Final Thoughts
The Tata Punch Facelift 2025 is shaping up to be a solid upgrade for India’s favorite micro-SUV.
With premium styling, tech-loaded interiors, and CNG+AMT possibility—it could dominate the ₹6–10 lakh price range once again.
Whether you’re buying your first car or upgrading from a hatchback, the Punch 2025 deserves a test drive.
