Although in different segments, the Tata Curvv’s design and features are heavily inspired by the Tata Nexon

The Tata Curvv has recently launched as the ICE (internal combustion engine) version of the Curvv EV with prices starting at Rs 10 lakh (introductory ex-showroom, pan-India). As such, it derives a lot of its design elements and interior features from the Tata Nexon subcompact SUV. So, if you are looking for a Tata offering and are indecisive between the Curvv and the Nexon, here’s a comparison between the cars.

Prices

Tata Curvv

Model	Price Range
Tata Curvv	Rs 10 lakh to Rs 19 lakh
Tata Nexon	Rs 8 lakh to Rs 15.80 lakh

Prices are ex-showroom, pan-India

The Tata Nexon sits one segment lower than the Tata Curvv and hence is more affordable than the SUV-coupe. The base-level variant of the Nexon is Rs 2 lakh more affordable than the corresponding variant of the Curvv. Moreover, the top-spec variants of both models have a price difference of over Rs 3 lakh.

Dimensions

Tata Nexon side

Dimensions	Tata Curvv	Tata Nexon	Difference
Length	4,308 mm	3,995 mm	+313 mm
Width	1,810 mm	1,804 mm	+6 mm
Height	1,630 mm	1,620 mm	+10 mm
Wheelbase	2,560 mm	2,498 mm	+62 mm
Boot Space	500 litres	382 litres	+118 litres

Tata Curvv Side

The Tata Nexon is a sub-4m SUV and hence is smaller in size than the Tata Curvv, which measures more than 4 metres in length which puts it in contention with compact SUVs. While the width and the height of both the Tata offerings here are nearly similar, the Curvv has a longer wheelbase and a 118-litre larger boot space.

*DCT = Dual-clutch automatic transmission

^AMT = Automated manual transmission

The Tata Nexon has two engine options on offer which are borrowed by the Tata Curvv (with a choice of different transmissions). The Curvv, however, also gets a new 1.2-litre T-GDi turbo-petrol engine, which is not available with Tata’s sub-4m.

The Nexon gets a choice of a 5-speed MT, 6-speed MT, 5-speed AMT and 7-speed DCT with its 1.2-litre turbo-petrol. The same powertrain is available only with the 6-speed MT and 7-speed DCT with the Tata Curvv. The diesel Nexon does not get a DCT option (that’s offered with the Curvv), and gets an AMT option instead.

Tata Nexon 2023 Cabin

The Tata Curvv and Tata Nexon both come with an all-LED lighting setup and a similar fascia at the front. However, the Nexon does not get connected DRLs and flush door handles. It also gets smaller 16-inch alloy wheels with a different design than the Curvv, which has bigger 18-inch units.
Inside, both cars get a dual-tone cabin theme, the colour of which varies as per the chosen variant. The only difference is that the Curvv uses a 4-spoke steering wheel while the Nexon gets a 2-spoke unit.
The feature suite is also similar to both Tata offerings with shared features like a 10.25-inch driver’s display, ventilated front seats, wireless phone charger, and paddle shifters. However, the Curvv also comes with a panoramic sunroof and a gesture-powered tailgate which is not offered with the Nexon (it gets a single-pane sunroof).
The safety suite is also similar with the major difference being a level-2 ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems) suite being offered with the Curvv. That said, both models get six airbags, a TPMS and a 360-degree camera.

Which Tata Car To Buy?

Tata Curvv Rear

It won’t be wrong to say that the Tata Curvv has been fairly derived from the Tata Nexon, which is no bad thing since the Nexon is a fairly opulent offering. The Curvv builds on the positives of the Nexon and provides an SUV-like feel with more space inside and a few more features like a panoramic sunroof and ADAS. The Curvv also gets an SUV-coupe design that can give popular compact SUVs like the Hyundai Creta and Maruti Grand Vitara a run for their money. So, if you are on the lookout for an SUV which has a relatively fresh design, potent engines and offers a lot of features, you can definitely consider the Curvv.

Tata Nexon 2023 Rear

However, the Tata Nexon has been one of the bestsellers from the Indian carmaker and there are more than a few reasons for that. First is the availability of a lot of features at a price point that is relatively more affordable than the other subcompact SUVs like the Mahindra XUV 3XO and the Kia Sonet. Another thing is the sorted driving dynamics of the car which gives a pleasant ride quality on almost all types of roads. This, coupled with the potent powertrains just makes the Tata Nexon a good value-for-money option. So, if you are on a tight budget, you can choose the Nexon over the Curvv.
