The new facelifted model has improved and become more attractive than the outgoing model, with a clean look that is pleasing to the eye. It features an updated grille design, split headlamp design, and new daytime running lights (DRLs). At the rear, you get a new bumper and a connected taillamp setup.

The doors open up to 90 degrees, making it much easier to get in and out of the car. Overall, the new Punch looks even better.
The features have also been updated and everything is better now.
Tata Motors has not only given the new Punch facelift a better exterior look, but it has also updated its interior and features. It now features a refined cabin with improved control buttons that are easier to use. Furthermore, it features a new 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system and a 7-inch fully digital driver display, which is of excellent quality, allowing you to view all information clearly and enjoy the infotainment to the fullest.

Furthermore, it also comes with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, an 8-speaker sound system, a voice-assisted electric sunroof, automatic climate control, cruise control, a wireless smartphone charger, and more.
Key highlights of the new turbo petrol engine
The new Tata Punch facelift features a 1.2-liter i-Turbo petrol engine, borrowed from the Nexon and tuned specifically for the Punch. This engine produces 120 PS of power at 5500 rpm and 170 Nm of torque at 1750-4000 rpm. This engine is only available with a 6-speed manual transmission. The Turbo variant of the new Punch boasts impressive power and acceleration. It’s enjoyable to drive in both city traffic and on the highway, and there’s no shortage of power even during overtaking. Notably, this engine is highly precise, powerful, and responsive, as compared to the Punch. Tata Motors states that the Punch Turbo variant will be an excellent choice for power lovers.
How is the new Punch CNG Automatic
The most notable feature of Tata Motors’ new Punch CNG variant is that it offers an automatic transmission option for the first time. The old Punch CNG was only available with a manual transmission. Its 1.2-liter Revotron CNG option produces 73.5 PS of power at 6000 rpm and 103 Nm of torque at 3250 rpm. The Punch CNG is available with a 5-speed manual or AMT transmission option. The new Punch CNG AMT is fun to drive and doesn’t lack power at all. Be it in the city or on the highway, it feels very responsive, which is a big deal for a CNG SUV.
Emphasis on safety as well as comfort
Tata Motors’ new Punch facelift has improved both comfort and safety. The front and rear seats offer under-thigh support, providing excellent comfort and convenience. Furthermore, it features premium fabric seats, automatic headlights, rear AC vents, a height-adjustable driver’s seat, an armrest, and other comfort-enhancing features. Safety features include six airbags, ABS with EBD, electronic stability control, a tire pressure monitoring system, a blind-spot monitor, and a 360-degree field of view. A key highlight of the new Punch is its five-star safety rating in the Bharat NCAP crash test, which is expected to attract customers.
Colour Options, Variants and Prices

You will also get dual-tone color options with a black roof or a white roof.
Who is this affordable SUV for?
Now, finally, when it comes to the kind of people the new Tata Punch is aimed at, let me tell you that for those with an annual income between 6 and 10 lakh rupees and looking for a small SUV-like vehicle that can seat five people, the new Punch is a good option.
