The 2026 Tata Punch EV Facelift is less about design drama and more about practical upgrades — especially battery capacity and pricing flexibility.
Tata has opened bookings for the updated electric micro SUV and introduced a new Punch EV BaaS pricing structure starting at Rs 6.49 lakh (battery subscription model). Regular ex-showroom pricing begins at Rs 9.69 lakh.
The big headline? A larger 40kWh battery option, previously seen in the Nexon EV.
Variant-Wise Tata Punch EV Price (Ex-Showroom)
| Variant | Price |

| Smart 30 | Rs 9.69 lakh |
| Smart Plus 30 | Rs 10.29 lakh |
| Smart Plus 40 | Rs 10.89 lakh |
| Adventure 40 | Rs 11.59 lakh |
| Empowered 40 | Rs 12.29 lakh |
| Empowered Plus S 40 | Rs 12.59 lakh |
(All prices pan-India, ex-showroom)
The introduction of Tata Punch EV price under BaaS is aimed at lowering entry cost for buyers hesitant about EV battery ownership.

Exterior Changes
The design remains familiar but cleaner.
-
Central LED light strip removed
-
Revised bumper with larger air dam
-
Textured faux silver skid plate
-
360-degree camera at the front
-
‘Tata.ev’ branding continues

Water wading depth: 450 mm
From the side, it largely resembles the outgoing model with 16-inch aero alloys and thick cladding.

The cabin now mirrors the refreshed Punch ICE.
-
Dual-tone black and white theme
-
Refreshed leatherette seats
-
Illuminated Tata logo on steering wheel
-
Dual digital displays
-
Toggle-style window switches
The update is evolutionary rather than transformative.

-
10.25-inch touchscreen (wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto)
-
10-inch digital driver display
-
Ventilated front seats
-
Wireless charging
-
360-degree camera

Battery and Performance: The Real Upgrade
The facelift introduces a larger Tata Punch EV battery 40kWh option.
Battery & Range Details
| Battery Pack | 30 kWh | 40 kWh |
|---|---|---|
| Power | 88 PS | 129 PS |
| Torque | 154 Nm | 154 Nm |
| 0-100 kmph | 13.5 sec | 9 sec |
| Claimed MIDC Range | 365–375 km | 468 km |
The bigger battery significantly boosts the Tata Punch EV range, taking it close to Nexon EV territory.
This move strengthens Punch EV’s position as more than just an entry-level city EV.
Market Positioning
The facelifted Punch EV competes with:
-
Citroen eC3
-
Entry variants of Tata Nexon EV
-
Mahindra XUV 3XO EV
-
MG Windsor EV
With the addition of BaaS and a 468 km claimed range, Tata is clearly targeting buyers who want flexibility and extended range without stepping into the Nexon EV’s price bracket.
Bigger Picture
The 2026 Tata Punch EV Facelift shows Tata focusing on three things:
-
Range upgrade
-
Flexible ownership model
-
Feature-rich cabin
Instead of a radical redesign, this update strengthens its value proposition in India’s growing EV market.
