Tata Curvv Spotted Testing in India; Shows High Ground Clearance, Coupe-style Roofline, and More

The upcoming Tata Curvv has been spotted undergoing testing in India, with exterior and interior elements such as a coupe-style roofline, sleek door handles, twin screens (digital driver display and infotainment), and a two-spoke steering wheel with mounted controls. In India, the petrol-powered Tata Curvv made its debut at the 2023 Auto Expo after being displayed as a concept in 2022. It made another public appearance at the first Bharat Mobility Show with a 1.5-litre diesel engine. The launch date of the upcoming model is currently unknown, but the brand plans to first introduce the Curvv EV in India, followed by its ICE counterpart. Here are the other details of the SUV coupe.

Tata Curvv: Some More Design and Interior Details 

In addition to these external features, the spotted Coupe SUV also had connected LED Daytime Running Lights (DRLs), sourced from the Nexon EV, along with the Harrier- and Safari-like headlamp housing, air dam, and grille. As seen in the pictures, the Curvv seems to feature a high ground clearance.

The SUV coupe's cabin is expected to feature powered ORVMs (Outside Rear View Mirrors), automatic climate control, a wireless smartphone charging pad, and push-button start.

For safety, the upcoming vehicle will likely feature a tyre pressure monitoring system, a 360-degree camera, parking sensors, a blind spot monitor, ISOFIX child seat mounts, and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).

Tata Curvv: Powertrain

The ICE Curvv is expected to have the same powertrain setup as the Nexon, which comprises a 1.2-litre 3-cylinder turbo petrol engine with 118bhp and 170Nm and a 1.5-litre 4-cylinder diesel engine with 113bhp and 260Nm. The gearbox options include a 6-speed manual, 6-speed AMT, and 7-speed DCT.

On the other hand, the Curvv EV is likely to be available in single and dual-motor versions, with the option to choose between front-wheel and all-wheel drive. It is expected to have a range of 400 to 500 kilometres on a single charge.

Tata Curvv: Price and Rivals

While the EV version of the Curvv may cost around Rs 20 lakh, the ICE model could be priced between Rs 10 lakh and Rs 11 lakh. In terms of market competition, the Curvv Coupe SUV in its ICE avatar will rival the likes of the Volkswagen Taigun, Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, and Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara. Meanwhile, the Curvv EV will compete with the MG ZS EV and Hyundai Kona Electric.
