Tata Curvv Teasers Reveal Off-Road Capability in Extreme Terrains

 

Tata Motors has unveiled new teasers for the upcoming Tata Curvv Coupe SUV, emphasizing the off-road capabilities of the Curvv in the Thar Desert and Himalayan range. The Tata Curvv will initially launch with electric and diesel powertrains, with a petrol variant expected just before the festive season. The teasers provide a glimpse of the Tata Curvv's impressive design and features, showcasing its potential to handle challenging terrains.

Revealed at the Bharat Mobility Show 2024, the teasers display the Curvv navigating tough terrains, offering glimpses of its design and features. Notably, the teasers highlight the Curvv's sloping roofline, flush door handles, and alloy wheels, while it tackles the harsh conditions of Jaisalmer and the Himalayas.

Key exterior features:

•  Daytime running lamps (DRLs) and headlamps.
•  Connected lamp setup at the rear.
•  Speculated EV and diesel variants with distinct air intake designs.
•  Flush-fitted door handles and aero wheels, similar to the Nexon EV.

The Curvv, a compact SUV, boasts a spacious boot of 422 litres, larger than the Nexon's. Other exterior features include split LED headlamp units, split tail lamps, shark fin antenna, and roof rails, though the vehicle remains fully camouflaged.

Interior features expected in the Curvv:

• 12.3-inch touchscreen system with telematics, video streaming, and wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
• 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster.
• JBL surround sound system.
• Ventilated seats, wireless charging, and touch controls for air conditioning.

The Curvv EV promises a range of 400-450 km, supported by Tata's Acti.ev platform, which also underpins the Punch EV. This platform offers DC fast charging, V2L (vehicle-to-load), drive modes, and adjustable energy regeneration. The Curvv EV is expected to come in Standard Range and Long Range configurations, potentially with a 50 kWh battery pack offering around 500 km per charge.

Expected to start at ₹20 lakh (ex-showroom), the Curvv EV will compete with models like the MG ZS EV, BYD Atto 3, and upcoming Creta EV. The ICE version will rival the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Maruti Grand Vitara, Citroen Basalt and others in the compact SUV segment.
