Tata Punch EV Facelift Launch This Month — New Updated Design & Features Expected

Published: Sunday, February 8, 2026, 16:05 [IST]

Tata Motors is gearing up to launch the facelifted Punch EV in India soon. The popular electric micro SUV is expected to feature refreshed styling, added features, and a more competitive price. The updated model is likely to arrive by February 20, 2026.

Tata already leads the EV segment in India with the Nexon EV, against rivals like Mahindra and JSW-MG Motor. The Punch EV will continue to sit below the Nexon electric SUV as a more affordable electric offering. Recently, Tata launched the facelifted Punch ICE model, with segment-leading features and a turbo powertrain option, setting the stage for similar updates in the electric version.

New Tata Punch EV Expectations

The design is set to share several elements with the recently launched Punch facelift, but with EV-specific touches such as a closed chrome grille and a front-mounted charging port. The car will also have revised bumpers and aerodynamic alloy wheels.

It is also expected to feature a front camera and sensors integrated into the lower black cladding, along with a new silver skid plate with vertical detailing. The EV version is also likely to get a distinctive Neon Yellow colour option, exclusive to the electric variant. At the rear, it is expected to retain tail lamps similar to the ICE model.

Key Features

Inside, the Punch EV facelift could feature the same touchscreen infotainment system, a fully digital driver display, an electric sunroof, wireless charging, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity, and a dual-tone dashboard with premium soft-touch materials for an enhanced cabin feel.

Additional highlights may include a 360-degree camera, Level 2 ADAS features, automatic climate control, a six-speaker audio system, keyless entry with push-button start, an auto-dimming IRVM, ventilated front seats, and rear AC vents.

EV Powertrain

The powertrain is expected to remain unchanged, with the same 25 kWh and 35 kWh battery pack options for everyday driving. The smaller battery pack is likely to offer a claimed range of around 315 km, while the larger battery version may deliver up to 415 km. The setup is designed to provide balanced performance for city driving and for occasional longer journeys.

Expected Pricing & Rivals

The Tata Punch EV facelift competes with models such as the Citroën eC3, MG Comet EV, and Tata Tiago EV. Pricing is expected to remain competitive at around 10 lakh (ex-showroom), positioning it as an accessible electric SUV option in the Indian market.
