Tata Motors is all set to launch the much-anticipated Curvv, with electric and ICE powertrains, in the Indian compact SUV segment. The SUV was displayed at the Auto Expo 2023. Tata Motors hasn't officially confirmed, but industry speculations suggest that the SUV could also get a CNG option, owing to a sketch design of the SUV that surfaced online. The design shows a CNG button on the dashboard's climate control panel. Although Tata has not officially revealed anything, the Curvv CNG variant might feature the company's latest twin-cylinder technology for CNG tanks, which will help free up cargo space. This technology was first introduced on the CNG version of the Tata Altroz and will likely be available with the Tiago and Tigor as well.

Tata Curvv: Powertrain and Features
Mechanically, the EV version of the Curvv will likely have a dual-motor configuration with an AWD. On the other hand, the ICE-powered model will reportedly get a 1.2-litre direct-injection turbo-petrol engine, capable of churning out 123bhp and 225Nm. For transmission, it will get both manual and automatic gearboxes. According to the latest sketches, the Tata Curvv will have features such as auto park assist, 360° camera, and dual-zone automatic climate control. The climate control feature will be controlled by two toggles. On the other hand, there will be specific buttons for the camera and park assist.
Tata Curvv: Launch Updates
In India, the SUV will likely go on sale in 2024. Market reports suggest that the electric variant of the Curvv will be the first to be launched. Right now, there is no official update on the CNG variant, but Tata might share some details regarding it as we move closer to the launch of electric and ICE-powered models of the Curvv SUV. In terms of market competition, the Curvv SUV will lock horns with the models such as the Volkswagen Taigun, Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, Kia Seltos, and Hyundai Creta.
