Tata Curvv Spied Testing
The Tata Curvv distinguishes itself with a unique coupe profile, making it a standout choice for those seeking distinctiveness on the road. Recent sightings of the Curvv showcase its sleek side profile, accentuated by chrome window lining and contrasting blacked-out B pillars. Noteworthy innovations, such as flush-type door handles and more such elements contribute to its modern aesthetic and aerodynamic design, setting it apart in its segment.
While the concept version of Curvv boasted a unique front fascia, the production model has undergone design revisions. Drawing inspiration from both the Harrier and Nexon, Curvv's front end now reflects a blend of familiar styling cues. This approach not only streamlines development and production costs but also maintains continuity within Tata's design language, which is both a plus and a minus.
Interior And Features
Curvv steps into a feature-packed segment dominated by rivals like Creta and Seltos. Whispers suggest Tata is aiming high, exceeding expectations with a tech-laden cabin. Look forward to a large touchscreen, digital instrument cluster, voice commands, panoramic sunroof, ADAS, head-up display, and their new two-spoke steering wheel with an illuminated logo. Connectivity features are also rumored to be extensive. If they deliver on these hints, Curvv could redefine the segment.
Powertrain
Under the hood, Curvv borrows from its sibling, the Nexon. Expect a slightly juiced-up 1.2L turbo petrol pushing 125 PS and 225 Nm, compared to the Nexon's 120 PS and 170 Nm. A trusty 1.5L diesel with 115 PS and 260 Nm also joins the party. But that's not all - an electric version is coming too!

Launch Details
The Curvv EV is set to debut in mid-2024, followed by the ICE variant expected to hit showrooms early next year. Initial estimates suggest the ICE variants of Curvv will be priced at approximately Rs. 11 lakh (ex-showroom), while the EV model is anticipated to start in the range of Rs. 18-20 lakh (ex-showroom). It will rival the likes of Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos in the segment.
Verdict
Unveiled at the Bharat Mobility Expo, the upcoming Curvv SUV promises to elevate segment styling with its sleek coupe-like roofline, advanced features, and versatile powertrain options. With these attributes, it aims to establish a strong presence in the competitive segment. However, how well the market responds to Curvv still depends on a lot of factors.
