Tata Punch Facelift First Drive | New Turbo MT & CNG AT Tested

Описание: The Tata Punch has been one of the strongest pillars in Tata Motors’ line-up, consistently topping sales charts and winning hearts in its segment.

For 2026, Tata has given its best-seller a comprehensive facelift — and the big question is simple: has the Punch gotten even better?

In this first drive review, we get behind the wheel of the new Tata Punch Facelift, driving both the new 1.2-litre turbo-petrol manual and the CNG AMT, to see how they perform in the real world. From city roads to open stretches, we explore whether the Punch still punches above its weight.

The facelift brings a fresh new face with sleeker LED headlamps, redesigned bumpers, updated DRLs and a more modern rear featuring connected tail-lamps. Step inside, and you’ll notice a familiar yet more premium cabin, now equipped with Tata’s digital steering wheel, a 10.25-inch touchscreen, wireless charging, ambient lighting and improved seat comfort.

Safety continues to be a major focus, with features like six airbags, a 360-degree camera, ESP, hill descent control, TPMS and SOS calling, making the Punch one of the safest cars in its class with 5-star BNCAP safety rating.

On the road, we experience the energetic 120PS turbo-petrol, paired with a slick 6-speed manual, and compare it with the more efficiency-focused CNG AMT, ideal for daily city driving. We also talk about ride quality, steering feel, braking performance and how the Punch handles both tarmac and rough roads — an area where it has always surprised us.

From design updates to driving impressions, practicality, performance and a few niggles worth mentioning, this video gives you a complete first look at the 2026 Tata Punch Facelift.
So, if you’re considering a compact, safe and capable vehicle for Indian roads, this one’s worth watching till the end.
