Kokila Chokkanathan
Tata Motors has officially revealed the data-facelifted Punch EV ahead of its imminent indian launch on 20 February 2026. This will be the first major update for the Punch’s electric version since it was introduced in 2023, bringing a blend of design, tech, and feature upgrades.

🆕 1. Fresh Exterior Look: Sleek and Cleaner Design

  • The data-facelift does away with the black LED light bar that ran between the headlights, giving the front a cleaner and more upright look.
  • The front fascia now features a closed‑off grille (a signature EV design), revised bumper and aero‑optimised alloy wheels that may also help efficiency.
  • A new Sunlit Yellow body colour with contrasting black roof adds sportier style to the lineup.
📺 2. Bigger Infotainment & Modern Cabin Tech

  • Inside, Tata is expected to equip the Punch EV data-facelift with a larger 12.3‑inch touchscreen infotainment display — possibly borrowed from the Nexon EV.
  • Other interior tech likely includes a digital instrument cluster, wireless charging, ambient lighting, and connected car features.
  • Advanced features such as a 360‑degree camera and Level 2 ADAS safety tech are being talked about, though some details are still unconfirmed.
⚡ 3. No Major Powertrain Changes — Familiar Electric Range

  • The Punch EV data-facelift is expected to retain the same battery options as before — 25 kWh (around 315 km claimed range) and 35 kWh (up to 421 km claimed range).
  • Power and performance figures are likely unchanged, with DC fast‑charging support and both battery packs continuing into the updated model.
💡 4. Enhanced Features for Comfort & Convenience

Expect the data-facelift to continue offering:
✔ Wireless Android auto & apple CarPlay
✔ Touch‑based climate controls
✔ Electric sunroof
✔ Connected car tech and ambient lighting
✔ Rear AC vents and premium cabin materials

These help make the Punch EV feel more upmarket compared to its previous version.

💰 5. Expected Pricing and Segment Positioning

  • The data-facelifted Punch EV is likely to carry a small premium over the outgoing model, with estimates pointing to a starting price near ₹10.2 lakh (ex‑showroom).
  • It will continue to compete with rivals like the Citroën eC3, MG Comet EV, and upcoming models such as the Vinfast VF 3 in India’s affordable electric SUV segment.
📅 6. Launch Timing & Availability

  • Official launch date: 20 February 2026, with pre‑bookings opening soon and deliveries expected shortly after.
  • Tata Motors is refreshing the Punch EV soon after the petrol Punch data-facelift hit dealerships, keeping momentum strong in both ICE and EV micro‑SUV segments.
🔎 Summing Up

The Tata Punch EV data-facelift brings subtle but meaningful upgrades over the outgoing electric micro‑SUV — including sharper styling, bigger screen, modern cabin tech, and refreshed features — while retaining the familiar EV range and drivetrains that made the original Punch EV popular. With its 20 February launch, it is poised to stay competitive in India’s growing electric SUV market.
