Tata Curvv and Curvv EV: What We Know So Far

Tata Motors has teased the Curvv a few times, giving us a glimpse of what the production-spec model will be like. As such, it is likely to feature a similar styling as seen on the updated Nexon, Harrier and Safari models. Up front, it will get a split headlight design with an LED DRL running across the edge of the bonnet, with a Tata logo placed below it. The EV iteration will feature a blanked-off grille, while its ICE (internal combustion engine) counterpart will get a regular mesh-pattern grille.

On the sides, it will have a sloping roofline, thus staying true to its body style. The teasers have also confirmed that the Curvv will get flush-type door handles, a first for a Tata car. The rear will get a tall-ish bumper and an LED bar for the tail lights.

The dashboard of the Tata Curvv will have a similar design as the Tata Nexon, featuring a free-floating touchscreen above the sleek central AC vents. However, the Curvv can have a different cabin theme and a 4-spoke steering wheel with an illuminated Tata logo, borrowed from flagship models like the new Harrier and Safari. It will also get the same drive mode selector and automatic gear shifter as the Nexon.

In terms of features, Tata is expected to equip the Curvv duo with a 12.3-inch infotainment system supporting wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats, dual-zone auto AC, and wireless phone charging. Its safety net is likely to comprise up to six airbags, electronic stability control (ESC), a 360-degree camera, and a suite of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), including adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, and forward collision warning.

Expected Powertrain Option

The Tata Curvv ICE is likely to feature a new 1.2-litre TGDi petrol engine and the Nexon’s 1.5-litre diesel engine. Specifications are as follows:

On the other hand, the Curvv EV is expected to get a choice of two battery packs with a claimed range of around 500 km, as it will be based on Tata’s Acti.ev platform. 

Expected Price and Rivals

The Tata Curvv EV will be launched before the Curvv ICE. The Curvv EV is expected to be priced at Rs 20 lakh (ex-showroom) and will compete with the MG ZS EV and the upcoming Hyundai Creta EV.

On the other hand, prices of the Tata Curvv ICE are expected to start from Rs 10.50 lakh and it will directly rival the Citroen Basalt, while serving as a stylish alternative to compact SUVs like the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Maruti Grand Vitara, Skoda Kushaq, Honda Elevate, and Volkswagen Taigun.
