2026 Tata Punch Facelift: Tata Motors has launched the new Punch 2026 facelift in India at a starting price of Rs 5.59 lakh (introductory, ex-showroom), nearly Rs 9,000 more expensive than the outgoing model. The SUV received several design enhancements, feature upgrades and a new segment’s most powerful turbo petrol engine, making it more appealing and modern. It competes with the Hyundai Exter (Rs 5.74 lakh – 9.61 lakh), Citron C3 (Rs 4.95 lakh – Rs 10.21 lakh) and Maruti Fronx (Rs 6.85 lakh – Rs 11.98 lakh).
The new Tata Punch lineup comes in six trims: Smart (new), Pure, Pure+, Adventure, Accomplished and Accomplished+ S. It is available in six colours: Daytona Grey, Cyantific Blue, Bengal Rouge, Coorg Clouds, Caramel and Pristine White.
Engine And Transmission: It gets two engine options: a new 120hp/170Nm, 1.2-litre turbocharged engine with a 6-speed manual gearbox and an existing 88hp/115Nm, 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol unit with a 5-speed MT/AMT.Â
