Tata Motors has confirmed August 7 as the launch date of its upcoming Curvv SUV-coupe. However, it is yet to be known whether the company will announce the prices of both electric and ICE (internal combustion engine) versions on the same day. Thanks to multiple teasers and spy shots, we now have a fair idea of how the Tata Curvv would look, both inside and out. The Curvv is likely to feature some of the design elements of other Tata vehicles, such as a split headlamp setup, flush door handles, a coupe-esque silhouette, wraparound L-shaped LED tail lamps, a shark-fin antenna, and alloy wheels. The Curvv EV will have a blanked-off grille, typical for an electric vehicle. It could also get different-looking bumpers and LED light signatures to distinguish itself from the ICE Curvv.

The interior of the upcoming Tata Curvv is expected to closely resemble that of the 2024 Nexon. It's expected to feature a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 10.5-inch digital instrument cluster, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, connected car tech, ventilated front seats, a panoramic sunroof, keyless entry, dual-zone climate control, electronic parking brake, and wireless phone charging. One can also expect a 2-spoke steering wheel with an illuminated Tata logo.
The safety kit may include a 360-degree camera, six airbags, electronic stability control (ESC), three-point seatbelts for all, front and rear parking sensors, a tyre pressure monitoring system, and an ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems) suite with autonomous braking and lane keep assist.
Tata Curvv: Powertrain
Under the hood, the ICE Tata Curvv will most likely receive the same engine options as the Nexon: 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. Expected transmission options are a 6-speed manual, a 6-speed AMT, and a 7-speed DCT.
On the other hand, the Curvv EV, based on Tata's Gen 2 acti.ev architecture, is expected to be offered with two powertrain options and a claimed range of 450 – 500km on a single charge. A CNG option is also expected in the future.
Tata Curvv: Price, Rivals
The Curvv EV is likely to go on sale first, followed by the ICE model. Price-wise, the ICE Curvv could range between Rs 10 lakh and Rs 11 lakh, whereas the EV may retail for Rs 20 lakh. The prices are ex-showroom. Upon launch, both versions of the Tata Curvv will join the other mid-size SUVs in their respective segments and rival the likes of the Volkswagen Taigun, Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, MG ZS EV, and the Hyundai Kona Electric.
