The new 2026 Tata Punch facelift brings a fresh design that modernises Tata’s popular micro-SUV:

  • It sports revised front and rear styling, with sleeker LED lighting and sharper body lines compared to the older Punch. 

  • The exterior takes inspiration from Tata’s EV design language, with horizontal grille elements and a more mature, premium look.

  • Inside, it gets upgraded tech — including a fully digital instrument cluster and a larger touchscreen infotainment system — along with better comfort and convenience features.

Under the hood, Tata offers multiple powertrains for the facelift model including:

  • A new 1.2 L turbo-petrol producing around 120 PS and 170 Nm (stronger performance). 

  • Naturally aspirated petrol and CNG options continue as well. 

Book­ings are open in India now, with prices starting around ₹5.59 lakh (ex-showroom) and topping out higher depending on trim and options. 

Facelift Undergoes Realistic Crash Test Against Truck

  • Tata Motors released official footage showing the Punch facelift crashing into a stationary truck at about 50 km/h.

  • Four crash test dummies were positioned inside to simulate real occupants. 

Safety Performance

  • The SUV’s cabin structure stayed intact with little compromise to the passenger compartment, highlighting good structural rigidity.

  • Airbags deployed promptly and all doors remained operable after impact — important for emergency egress. 

  • Tata says this demonstration goes beyond standard lab tests to show how the Punch might perform in more extreme conditions.

Safety Rating

  • The facelifted Punch carries a 5-star Bharat NCAP safety rating for adult and child occupant protection. 

  • The test underlines Tata’s focus on safety in real-world scenarios, not just meeting regulatory benchmarks.

  • Interior gets more premium features and technology.
