The Punch facelift gets a new front fascia inspired by its electric counterpart, but its daytime running lamps (DRLs) have black surrounds. It also has a new redesigned front bumper that gets a dual-tone finish with a new split headlamp arrangement.

Overall, the upcoming Punch facelift retains its 'micro-SUV' silhouette with a butch look. The alloy wheels get a new design, and there’s a thick black cladding along the sides. At the back, the new Punch has a black panel across the tailgate, consisting of a connected LED tail-light, and a restyled bumper.

The Punch facelift’s cabin layout remains similar to its predecessor, but with minor revisions to the overall design. It gets a new two-spoke steering wheel and touch-based HVAC controls from the more expensive models in Tata's range. There are new trim and upholstery materials, and the seats are a dual-tone (black and blue finish), instead of being monotone like in the outgoing model. In terms of features, the Tata Punch is expected to come with a 360-degree camera, while teasers confirm the presence of a new digital instrument cluster. The full list of features and safety kit will be revealed once the model launches on January 13.

Tata Punch facelift vs old model: Powertrain options

Gets a new turbo petrol engine

The Punch facelift will be available with a new turbo-petrol engine –  a 1.2-litre 3-cylinder turbo-petrol unit derived from the Nexon, with its final power figures and gearbox options yet to be confirmed. For reference, the Nexon turbo-petrol produces 120hp and 170Nm of torque. Meanwhile, the more affordable variants will retain the 88hp, 115Nm 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine mated to a 5-speed manual or an AMT gearbox. A CNG powertrain paired with a 5-speed manual only will likely continue as well.

Tata Motors had a blockbuster showing at Auto Expo 2023, with several models on display in various states of production readiness. However, while Tata’s announcement was quite scant on details, we’ve received a bit more information from company sources, specifically around when these cars will be launched. The products are an even mix of EV and ICE products, but while the latter includes petrol and CNG models, there has been no word on further diesel development, which means the present 1.5-litre engine in the Nexon , and the Fiat-sourced 2.0 in the Harrier and Safari , will soldier on for some time.

Honda  has officially delisted the Amaze  diesel model from its website. The compact sedan was the final diesel model in its segment that currently comprises of the Hyundai Aura , Tata Tigor and the Maruti Suzuki Dzire . Amaze diesel was available in three trims Was the only diesel automatic model in its segment Honda Amaze diesel: reason for discontinuation As we've reported before, the upcoming implementation of the Real Driving Emissions (RDE) norms in India from April 2023 is the key reason for the Amaze's diesel engine being dropped.  Upgrading diesel engines to meet the new stringent emissions regulations is expensive. This, combined with the low demand for diesel in this segment, meant that there was little business case for the Amaze diesel. Currently, Honda has only two diesel-powered models on sale in India – the  WR-V  and  5th gen City .  However, these cars, too, are slated to be axed as the brand  will cease producing diese...
