The Tata Punch EV Facelift is set to debut in 2026. What can we anticipate?

Tata Motors will be soon updating its Punch EV with a mid-cycle facelift as it is one of the most important cars under Tata’s portfolio. 

The facelifted Punch EV is all set to launch in FY26 as the upcoming EV will debut according to Tata’s broader EV roadmap strategy which also includes the upcoming models such as Sierra EV and Avinya range of premium electric EVs, along with five new electric nameplates to be introduced by FY30. 

The Punch EV is positioned as the brand’s most cost-effective EVs, and going by that, it will be priced competitively as newer and more tech-inspired EVs to debut in the Indian EV market. 

2026 Tata Punch EV Design

The facelifted Punch EV will feature the exact changes which were noticed in the ICE models and will come with cosmetic upgrades that will make it look more modern yet assertive on roads. It will derive styling cues from the bigger Nexon EV and Harrier EV, with cosmetic changes to the lighting and bumper with an inclusion of a revised grille.
