A new pair of headlamps with the auto on/off feature is another addition apart from the real facelift along the car exteriors  which is more than evident from the makeover while retaining the 90 Bhp 1.4 L petrol engine and a 93 Bhp 1.3 L multijet diesel powertrain. A new Blue color option is also introduced as a part of the makeover. The new Fiat Punto also got a Blue color option new to add to its available color options, while the ground clearance of the new Fiat Punto is subjected to see a sea change to 195 mm in the 1.2 L petrol variant while the 1.4 L petrol new Fiat Punto gets a 185 mm of ground clearance.
