What to expect from the 2026 Tata Punch EV facelift

The Tata Punch EV is set to receive a facelift in the coming weeks. This update is arriving earlier than usual since the Punch EV launched just over two years ago, but it’s likely an effort from Tata to better align it with the ICE Punch facelift that went on sale in January 2026. Let’s take a look at everything we can expect from the upcoming Punch EV facelift.

Which exterior design changes will the 2026 Tata Punch EV facelift carry?

Styling cues likely to be borrowed from the ICE Punch facelift

Like the ICE version’s facelift, the updated Punch EV may sport revised LED DRLs and a more muscular bumper design up front. New aero-optimised alloy wheels are likely to be the only notable changes on the Punch EV facelift’s side profile, while the rear end may feature a new LED light bar and tweaked bumper akin to the ICE Punch. Expect new colour options to join the Punch EV range too.

Which features will the 2026 Tata Punch EV facelift offer?

Could get a new 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen

No updates are expected for the basic layout of the Punch EV facelift’s interior, but the colour scheme, trim pieces, and features list are likely to see changes. Notably, the current 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen could give way to the 12.3-inch unit from the bigger Nexon EV – possibly running newer software – in higher variants of the Punch EV facelift.

Elsewhere, goodies like the 10.25-inch digital driver’s display, wireless charging pad, 360-degree camera, auto-dimming IRVM, ventilated front seats, connected car tech, ambient lighting, and more will be retained from the existing Punch EV.

Which battery options will the 2026 Tata Punch EV facelift get?

Same 25kWh and 35kWh battery options expected

Where the ICE Punch facelift saw the addition of a new turbo-petrol engine option, the Punch EV facelift is anticipated to carry forward the current model’s 25kWh and 35kWh battery packs. Both are mated to single front-mounted motors that output 82hp and 114Nm in 25kWh guise and 122hp and 190Nm in the 35kWh variants.

Claimed range for the Punch EV 25kWh stands at 265km, while the 35kWh version can travel up to 365km on a single charge. The Punch EV facelift’s claimed range figures may be slightly different.

What are the 2026 Tata Punch EV facelift launch date and price estimations?

Unveil set for February 20

The Tata Punch EV facelift is slated to debut on February 20 – just over a month and a half after the ICE Punch facelift was launched. As for pricing, the Punch EV facelift is expected to come in at a mild premium over the outgoing model, the price range for which is Rs 9.99 lakh-14.44 lakh (ex-showroom). The Punch EV facelift will continue to rival the Citroen eC3.

390 Duke or Interceptor 650: Best bike for casual riding under Rs 4 lakh?

-

Looking for advice on which new bike to purchase. Few things to note - Budget is INR 3-4 Lakhs. It will not be my primary mode of transport as I mostly use my car. The bike will be used 60-70 percent for Sunday morning rides, 10-20 percent touring and 10-20 percent maybe the odd office commute or coffee run. Prefer comfortable upright ergonomics. Do let me know if you need any further info from my end. Thanks in advance for your help! Rahul Khurana, New Delhi Autocar India says: You haven’t mentioned whether the bike you are looking for is meant to be sporty and exciting or calm and relaxed in nature, so we’ll share a few options at both ends of that spectrum. Since this is going to be a casual use motorcycle we’ll keep things like fuel efficiency as a low priority but all options mentioned here will have upright ergonomics. At the sporty end, there’s no beating the new Gen 3 KTM 390 Duke which offers the strongest performance available at this price as well as outstanding handl...
