Tata Motors is all set to heat up the Indian SUV market with two big launches this financial year—the Tata Punch Facelift and the Tata Sierra SUV. With festive season demand rising, these launches are expected to boost Tata’s sales and strengthen its SUV lineup.
Tata Punch Facelift – A Major Mid-Life Update
The Tata Punch Facelift will be the first of the two launches. The Punch is already Tata’s best-selling car, crossing the 6 lakh sales milestone in under four years (July 2025). Now, it’s getting its first significant design and feature refresh.
Tata Punch Facelift Design Changes
- Updated front fascia, inspired by the Punch EV.
- Redesigned alloy wheels.
- Tweaked bumpers and lighting for a sharper appeal.
Tata Punch Facelift Interior Upgrades
Inside, the facelifted Punch will offer several new features:
- Larger 10.25-inch infotainment system.
- Fully digital instrument cluster.
- New flat-bottom steering wheel.
- Refreshed dashboard and centre console.
- Premium upholstery options.
Tata Punch Facelift Engine Options
Mechanically, Tata will continue with the trusted engines:
- 1.2-litre petrol engine.
- CNG variant for fuel-conscious buyers.
No major engine changes are expected, keeping the focus on better design and in-cabin tech.

Tata Sierra SUV – Revival of a Legend
The second major launch is the Tata Sierra SUV, a name that evokes nostalgia while embracing modern technology. First unveiled at the 2025 Auto Expo, the Sierra will be offered in both electric (EV) and ICE versions.
Tata Sierra EV – Launching October 2025
The Tata Sierra EV will likely be the first to arrive. It may share battery packs with the Harrier EV, featuring:
- 65 kWh and 75 kWh battery options.
- Claimed range of up to 627 km.
- Rear-wheel drive (RWD) standard, with possible AWD option.
If delivered as promised, the Sierra EV could become one of the most capable long-range electric SUVs in India.
Tata Sierra ICE – Launching Early 2026
For customers who prefer traditional engines, the Tata Sierra ICE will also be available with two options:
- 1.5-litre turbo petrol (tGDi).
- 2.0-litre turbo diesel.
This ensures the Sierra caters to both EV enthusiasts and conventional SUV buyers.
Why the Punch Facelift and Sierra Matter
Tata Motors is facing intense competition in both compact SUVs and the growing EV space. By refreshing its best-seller (Punch) and reviving an iconic SUV (Sierra), Tata is targeting two key markets at once.
- Tata Punch Facelift → strengthens entry-level SUV dominance.
- Tata Sierra SUV → positions Tata in the premium SUV + EV category.
Strategically launching these models around the festive season and early 2026 could give Tata a significant sales boost.
