Tata Motors is gearing up for the much-anticipated facelift of the Tata Punch petrol version, confirmed by the company’s MD, Shailesh Chandra. Expected to debut in mid-2025 or shortly after, the facelift promises a fresh look and unique features, distinguishing it from its electric counterpart, the Punch EV.
Following the design trend seen in recent Nexon and Harrier facelifts, the Punch facelift is likely to adopt styling cues from newer Tata models. This includes updates to the front bumper, grille, headlamps, and bonnet, giving the compact SUV a renewed appearance.
Chandra highlights an interesting aspect – the divergence in features between the Punch facelift and the Punch EV. Similar to the Nexon series, where the Nexon EV has exclusive features, the Punch facelift is expected to boast its own set of distinctive characteristics.

Drawing parallels with the Nexon series, the feature differences between the Nexon EV and Nexon ICE provide insight into what we can expect from the Punch facelift. The Nexon EV stands out with a larger 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, an electronic parking brake with auto-hold, and an innovative Arcade.ev app suite for streaming OTT platforms.
Moreover, the Nexon EV features all-wheel disc brakes, a welcome and goodbye animation on the front LED Daytime Running Lamps, OTA updates, connected car features, and a puncture repair kit. Warranty terms also vary, with the Nexon EV enjoying a higher 3-year/1,25,000km coverage compared to the ICE variant’s 3-year/1,00,000km warranty.
