Tata Punch Facelift
The Tata Punch facelift has been spotted in Pune heavily camouflaged; however, we can still make out that the facelift isn't too far from the current Punch in terms of styling. The facelift continues with its rugged, squared-off design, featuring the projector setup at the front. Moreover, that Y-pattern grille, squared wheel arches and roof rails largely remain the same as the current model. While the only exception might be with alloy wheels, it can boast R16 diamond cut alloy wheels. But it is hard to guess due to the camo on the wheels.
Interiors
Stepping inside the facelift, the first thing that will grab your attention is the all-new two-spoke steering wheel. Meanwhile, it comes with an illuminated Tata logo along with touch controls, as seen with the brand's flagship models. Behind the wheel, a 7-inch TFT instrument cluster for a clutter-free view. The familiar 10.2-inch touchscreen infotainment continues to take the centre stage with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The Tata Punch is already loaded with a plethora of features, including voice-assisted sunroof, USB charging ports, wireless charging pad and rear AC vents.
Powertrains
Mechanically, it continues to be powered by the same 1.2-litre Revotron petrol engine, which belts out 87.8 PS and 115 Nm of torque. Meanwhile, it comes paired either with a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed AMT unit. It comes with only a 5-speed manual transmission with a CNG option. However, with CNG, the power figures remain at 73.5 PS and 103 Nm of torque.

Verdict
The Tata Punch facelift keeps its rugged appeal largely intact on the outside but takes a big leap forward inside the cabin with a digital cluster, new steering wheel, and feature-rich setup. With no changes under the hood, the facelift focuses more on comfort and tech to keep the Punch fresh in a highly competitive segment.
