Tata Curvv and Curvv EV unveiled; Price announcement on August 7

The much-awaited Tata Curvv and Curvv EV are finally unveiled in production form. Tata debuted the Curvv concept in 2022 and the car is now officially all set to hit the shelves as the prices will be announced on August 7, 2024. The Curvv also happens to be the first-ever mass-market coupe SUV in India.

Tata Curvv & Curvv EV: Design

The production model's design looks very much in line with the most recent SUVs from Tata. Infact the face of the car looks identical to Nexon and Nexon EV. The ICE and EV models share connected LED DRLs and an all-LED headlamp configuration on the bumper. The Curvv ICE model has a blacked-out grille, whereas the EV model has a closed-off, body-coloured plate for the grille.

The Curvv EV has its charging port integrated inside the Tata logo at the front, much like the one we see on the Punch EV. While both cars have their wheel arches squared off, the ICE car alloys of the ICE car have a 5-spoke design and those of the EV are designed keeping aero efficiency in mind.

Over at the rear is where the Curvv looks, unlike any other Tata product. The sloping roofline is something the Indian market is witnessing for the very first time and the roof-mounted spoiler is quite a neat touch. Sitting above the Tata logo, the tail-light unit extends the entire width of the car. Virtual Sunrise for the EV and Gold Essence for the ICE are the two new colours that will be released.

Tata Curvv & Curvv EV: Powertrain

Something the Curvv will borrow from the Nexon is its powertrains. The Curvv is expected to be offered with the 1.2-litre petrol and 1.5-litre diesel engine producing 125PS and 225Nm and 115PS and 260Nm, respectively. The available transmissions will probably include a 6-speed DCT, a 6-speed AMT, and a 6-speed manual.

The Curvv EV on the other hand might not get the same powertrain as the Nexon EV. It will be built on the Gen 2 EV architecture and is expected to have a claimed range of 500 kilometres. There will be 2 powertrains, one of which is expected to have an all-wheel drive setup.

Tata Curvv & Curvv EV: Interior & Features

Tata hasn't revealed the interior of the Curvv. From the concept car that we've seen, the interior decor looks to be different than on the Nexon, while the arrangement is similar, with the free-floating touchscreen situated over the sleek central AC vents. The Curvv has the same rotary knob as the Nexon for controlling the various driving modes, as well as the same gear lever in front of it. The bulky four-spoke steering, however, differs from the Nexon and is more akin to what we've seen on larger Tata SUVs such as the Harrier and Safari.

It will come loaded with features like a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, connected car technology, a 10.25-inch digital driver's display, ventilated front seats, keyless entry with push button start/stop, wireless phone charging, a large panoramic sunroof, and an automatic climate control unit. Its safety features are believed to include six airbags, a 360-degree camera with blind spot monitoring, front and rear parking sensors, electronic stability control (ESC) and even level 2 ADAS.

Tata Curvv & Curvv EV: Price

As for pricing, expect the Curvv to start from somewhere around Rs 10 lakh (ex-showroom) and a range-topping variant set to be priced at Rs 18 lakh (ex-showroom). The Curvv EV should be priced at Rs 16 lakh to Rs 20 lakh (ex-showroom).
