Tata just dropped a teaser bomb – the Tata Punch EV facelift is coming soon, with a big reveal and launch set for February 20, 2026. If you’re eyeing an electric micro-SUV right now, this update has everyone asking: stick with the current Punch EV or hold off for the refreshed one?
The current Punch EV is already a hit – great range (up to 365 km claimed on the bigger battery), solid build, and that cute-but-tough look. But Tata’s giving it a quick facelift to match the fresh ICE Punch that launched last month.
What’s New in the Tata Punch EV Facelift?
From the first looks:
- Bolder front end with sharper headlamps, revised grille (more closed-off for that EV vibe), and muscular bumpers.
- Connected LED taillights at the back, plus new alloy wheel designs.
- Possible fresh colours and aero tweaks for better efficiency.
Inside, expect upgrades like a bigger touchscreen (maybe 12.3-inch), updated dashboard bits, new upholstery, and premium touches like ambient lighting or a better sound system.
Safety and tech could jump too – rumors point to Level-2 ADAS (adaptive cruise, lane assist, etc.), which the current model misses. Powertrain stays the same: 25 kWh or 35 kWh batteries, no major range boost expected yet.
Pricing? The outgoing Punch EV starts around ₹9.99 lakh (ex-showroom). The facelift should add a small premium – maybe ₹30,000–50,000 extra depending on variant.

Should You Wait or Buy Now?
If you need a car ASAP for city runs around daily commutes, grab the current one – it’s proven, available right away, and dealers might throw discounts to clear stock before the new arrives.
But if you can wait just a couple of weeks, the Tata Punch EV facelift brings fresher looks, more tech (hello ADAS!), and that “latest” feel without changing what makes the Punch EV great.
Tata’s moving fast to keep their EV king on top against rivals like Citroen eC3.
