With a remarkable certified range of more than 600 km and an AWD configuration for improved capability, it has already become one of the most buzzed-about EVs of the year. As a premium electric SUV above Nexon EV and Punch EV, the Harrier EV fortifies Tata’s mid-to-high segment lineup, competing head-on with global EV manufacturers.

Tata Punch EV Facelift

The Tata Punch EV, which already commands a robust position in the affordable electric SUV segment, will get a facelift in the next few months. The new version is likely to launch before the 2025 festive season, and that will be a strategic launch to ride on peak consumer demand.

Tata Cars plans to give the Punch EV a fresh design and cabin experience while maintaining its practicality and affordability. With enhanced interior comfort and increased connected features, the Punch EV facelift will keep Tata’s smallest electric SUV competitive against competitors such as the Citroën ë-C3 and future budget EVs from Maruti and Hyundai.

Tata Motors is also getting ready to introduce the Punch Petrol Facelift later in 2025. The petrol Punch has been one of the top-selling compact SUVs from Tata, and this facelift is expected to keep it updated in the super competitive sub-4m SUV segment. The facelift will introduce styling updates, new interiors, and additional features, yet maintain the same commanding road presence that made the Punch a crowd favorite among new SUV buyers. Tata’s intention with the refresh is to offer petrol shoppers the same thrill as EV customers, so both lineups remain as attractive.

Tata Curvv CNG

The Tata Curvv, a fashionable coupe-SUV with futuristic design and practicality, is set to expand its range with a CNG variant. While the regular petrol, diesel, and electric versions are already popular among a broad spectrum of buyers, adding CNG will make the Curvv all the more appealing to frugal buyers looking for SUV styling without sacrificing mileage. With its steeply raked roof, aggressive stance, and contemporary interiors, the Curvv CNG will be one of the rare coupe SUVs in India with an alternative fuel variant. This is in line with Tata’s multi-fuel strategy, offering customers greater choices within segments.

Launch During the Festive Season

Tata Harrier Petrol

Tata Motors is finally launching a petrol variant of the Harrier, something that has been long-awaited by SUV fans. So far, the Harrier was available only with a diesel engine, which restricted its demand among petrol-happy customers. The soon-to-be-launched Harrier Petrol will come equipped with a brand new 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine producing an estimated 168 bhp of power and 280 Nm of torque.

This engine is expected to bring best-in-class performance and improved refinement, making the Harrier more capable and versatile in its segment. With this new addition, Tata Cars plans to take direct competition with petrol SUV contenders like Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, and MG Hector.

Manual + DCT Gearbox Options

• Focused on broadening Harrier’s reach in petrol-like metro markets.

Bringing back the legendary Sierra nameplate, Tata has thoroughly reimagined it as a contemporary all-electric flagship SUV that mashes up retro-inspired design with cutting-edge technology.
