Tata Punch facelift exterior
The upcoming Tata Punch facelift will get noticeable updates to its front fascia. As seen in teasers, the new Punch keeps its familiar look but is revised around the LED DRLs. The projector headlamps have been updated and just below them sit new twin pod fog lights, a setup very similar to the Tata Nexon. The front bumper has also been redesigned giving it a chunkier appearance.
At the rear, it gets new LED taillights that retain the familiar shape but feature refreshed detailing. A connecting LED DRLs strip spans from left to right joining the two tail lights. The new Punch facelift also gets new alloy wheels. The rear wiper remains, and the sides are expected to get a few small tweaks to complete the update.
New Tata Punch interior & features
The Punch facelift interior will also receive noticeable updates. It comes with a new 10.24-inch slim Touchscreen Infotainment System by HARMAN. The AC panel below it has also been redesigned. Instead of the twin setup, it now features a single rectangular AC vent. The teaser also reveals a new phygital touch panel. The steering wheel is expected to be updated as well, likely aligned with the design of other Tata siblings, similar to what the Tata Nexon has.
The driver display will be fully digital. Other expected features include multiple speakers, a single-pane sunroof, wireless charging, six standard airbags, ABS with EBD, a 360-degree camera, parking sensors, high-beam headlights, and TPMS, among others, as seen in the teaser.
