Tata Punch facelift was recently spotted testing on the road revealing various details. The model will get minimal cosmetic updates to refresh its overall look. The SUV will share its exterior details with the EV version; that includes a connected LED light bar and split LED headlamps. The major difference between the EV and regular model will be a redesigned grille, bumper and air intake. We also expect 16-inch new design alloy wheels and a new shark fin-antenna to also be offered on the Punch Facelift.
On the inside, the new model is expected to get a larger 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment, and the new 7-inch digital instrument cluster and new drive mode buttons on the centre console. Additionally, the Tata Punch is also expected to borrow features from the Tata Nexon.
Currently the punch is offered with 2 airbags, ABS with EBD, ESP, reverse parking camera and TPMS in its package. However, the facelifted Punch is expected to offer six airbags, 360 degree camera and a blind view monitor among others.
