Tata Motors is gearing up for an action-packed year with the launch of four new SUVs that will expand and refresh its existing lineup. The upcoming models include the much-awaited facelift of the popular Tata Punch, the reintroduction of the iconic Sierra in both electric and ICE versions, and the addition of petrol engine options for the Harrier and Safari – two of Tata’s flagship SUVs.
Tata Punch Facelift
Expected Launch: H2 2025
Tata will be launching the Punch Facelift for India in the second half of 2025. Design-wise the SUV will look the same as its EV counterpart except it won’t get the LED positioning lamp to give that connected LED look at the front. It’ll get split LED Headlamps, new alloy wheels design from the side. From the inside, it’ll get new 10.25-inches Digital Cluster and seat ventilation which will be exclusive to top variants. Other than that, not much is expected. However, a price hike is likely.
Powertrain-wise, it’ll retain the current options:
- 1.2 L 3 Cylinder Petrol – 87 BHP, 115 NM – 5 Speed MT / AMT
- 1.2 L CNG Engine – 72 BHP, 103 NM – 5 Speed Manual (MT) – It’s possible Tata may introduce the AMT option with CNG

Tata Harrier / Safari Petrol
Expected Launch: H2 2025

It’s expected to be launched with the 1.5 L Turbo Petrol that delivers 168 BHP and 280 NM Torque with transmission choice being 6 Speed Manual and 7 Speed DCT. Tata is also working on the Diesel variants which may receive just increase in output for the engine and possible AWD given now they have the licensing rights on what they want to so.
