Tata Motors has launched the 2026 Tata Punch EV facelift, priced at Rs. 9.69 lakh (ex-showroom). The Punch EV has been on the market for a little over 2 years, and this is its first major refresh to bring it in line with the Tata Punch, which also received a facelift recently.
With the facelift, the Tata Punch EV has become more affordable. The pre-facelift Tata Punch EV was priced at Rs. 9.99 – 14.44 lakh (ex-showroom), while the 2026 Tata Punch facelift is priced at Rs. 9.69 – 12.59 lakh (ex-showroom). This has made the base variant more affordable by Rs. 30,000, and the top variant with a larger battery is Rs. 1.85 lakh more affordable.
The Tata Punch facelift gets larger battery options, new design elements, and many other additions. Interestingly, Tata has also introduced the Battery-as-a-Service program with the Tata Punch EV facelift. Here is a closer look at the Tata Punch EV facelift.
2026 Tata Punch EV Facelift: Design and Dimensions
The Tata Punch facelift is 3,827 mm long, 1,742 mm wide, 1,615 mm tall, and has 195 mm ground clearance, 2,445 mm wheelbase, and 450 mm water wading capacity.
The Tata Punch EV facelift looks much like the recently launched ICE-powered Tata Punch. Although there are some EV-specific elements. Up front, the Punch EV facelift gets a clean and simple look, with a concealed body-coloured grille section. The black trim, which previously linked the headlamps, has been removed, and so has the illuminated light bar that connected the Y-shaped DRLs, which have been retained. The headlamp assemblies and the redesigned air dam are larger than those on the outgoing model, and the Punch EV facelift continues to feature the charging flap on the nose. Over to the side, the Punch EV facelift gets aero-optimised alloy wheels, inspired by the ones on the larger Tata Nexon EV, and ‘Tata.ev’ badges on the doors, while the rear door handles are mounted on the C-pillars. At the rear, the Punch EV features connected tail lamps and a revised bumper with a textured silver skid plate.
2026 Tata Punch EV Facelift: Interior and Features
On the inside, the Tata Punch EV facelift is largely similar to the outgoing model, barring the new dual-tone white and grey interior theme. It retains the same dashboard design, two-spoke flat-bottom steering wheel with illuminated Tata logo, gloss-black touch-sensitive panel for HVAC, and the free-standing touchscreen infotainment. Moreover, like the previous model, the Punch EV facelift gets a gloss-black finish on the centre console.
In terms of features, the Tata Punch EV facelift offers a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with updated graphics, automatic climate control, a 10-inch digital instrument cluster, ventilated front seats, a wireless charger, a single-pane sunroof, automatic headlamps with rain-sensing wipers, and more.
For safety equipment, the Punch EV facelift comes with 6 airbags as standard, ABS with EBD, ESC, front and rear parking sensors, tyre pressure monitoring system, electronic parking brake with auto hold, blind view monitor, 360-degree camera, hill-hold assist, and more.
