Review
Early spy photos and reports suggest that the facelift manages to balance refreshing the exterior and interior without overhauling the mechanicals. It keeps the strengths of the Punch—good ground clearance, strong safety record, compact dimensions—and improves on comfort and tech. However, performance gains are not expected, so the facelift won’t be a major upgrade in power but rather refinement. Buyers wanting more torque or hybrid/EV options may find less appeal here.
