2026 Tata Punch EV Facelift Launched At ₹9.69 Lakh With 355 Km Real-World Range

Tata Motors has launched the Punch EV facelift at a starting introductory price of ₹ 9.69 lakh and goes up to ₹12.59 lakh (both ex-showroom). Besides the regular pricing, Tata has also introduced a new BaaS (Battery as a Service) programme for the Punch EV with prices starting at ₹6.49 lakh (ex-showroom) in addition to a battery EMI of ₹2.6 per km.

This comes on the heels of the combustion-powered Punch facelift which was launched last month. Launched in early 2024, this is the first significant update to the Punch EV.  The new Tata Punch EV is available in five trims or Personas namely Smart, Smart+, Adventure, Empowered, and Empowered+ S.

2026 Tata Punch EV Facelift: Exterior

The 2026 Tata Punch EV gets subtle redesigning of its exterior which is in line with its petrol-powered sibling. It features a redesigned front fascia with a fully sealed grille, flanked by slim LED daytime running light (DRL) signatures on either side. Unlike earlier versions, the latest iteration does not include a connected LED DRL strip. The triangular headlamp cluster is mounted lower on the bumper and integrates a fog lamp.

The scuff plate on the lower section of the front bumper has also been subtly redesigned. At the rear, the facelifted model is expected to feature a new connected LED taillamp setup, similar to its ICE sibling launched a few months ago. The image also highlights a new Neon Yellow exterior paint option.

The updated Punch EV expands its colour palette with the addition of three new options: Bengal Rouge, Caramel and Fearless Yellow shades. Meanwhile, four colours from the outgoing model — Pure Grey, Empowered Oxide, Supernova Copper, and Pristine White— have been retained.

The Punch EV carries over the same cabin design and feature set as its recently facelifted internal combustion (ICE) counterpart. The most notable enhancement is expected to be a larger 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, now running the updated user interface seen on the Nexon EV. Tata has also introduced a new high-beam alert that nudges the driver to shut off high-beam lights in city traffic.

Tata has also added paddle shifters to the Punch EV that offers four levels of battery regen including single-pedal driving. Additional features offered in the 2026 Tata Punch EV include a 10.25-inch fully digital instrument cluster, ventilated front seats, fully automatic climate control, a wireless smartphone charger, a 360-degree surround-view camera, a six-speaker audio system, an auto-dimming inside rearview mirror (IRVM), connected car technology, and ambient lighting.
