The company will more likely introduce the CNG version of the Punch later this year while the facelifts of the Nexon, Harrier and Safari are in the pipeline.
The updated Nexon will be inspired by the Curvv concept while the revised Harrier and Safari will be influenced by the Harrier EV concept in terms of design. The trio will likely get new petrol engines along with the addition of new equipment and technologies.
