Tata Motors is all set to launch the new avatar of its most popular micro-SUV ‘Punch’ in the Indian market. The company has officially released the first teaser video of its facelift version, in which a glimpse of the updated exterior design of the car has been seen. This car is going to be launched on 13th January. Let us tell you that Punch is currently one of the best selling cars of the brand and it was first launched in 2021.
The muscular and ‘macho’ look of the car is seen in the teaser video, these major changes have been made in the front design
Watching the teaser video clearly shows that the new Punch looks more ‘macho’ and like a powerful SUV than before. Its stance is quite straight and high. Talking about the changes in the design, it has been given a new set of LED headlamps and fog lamps. Also, the sleek daytime running lights (DRLs), new front grille and refreshed front bumper are giving it a quite muscular look. The company aims to give it an even more commanding SUV feel with the updated design.
New dual-tone alloy wheels will be available with connected tail lamps, a glimpse of Punch EV will be seen in the design.
Now a connected tail lamp setup will be seen in the rear profile of the car, which is quite in trend these days. Apart from this, new dual-tone alloy wheels can also be seen in the teaser video. This facelift model will be based on Tata’s latest design philosophy. It is important to note that the new petrol/CNG Punch will be largely similar to the Punch EV in terms of styling and features, thereby providing a premium experience to the customers.
