The Curvv will debut as an electric vehicle, with an internal combustion engine (ICE) version to follow. The teaser highlights various elements of the upcoming EV from the Indian automaker. Let’s find out more details about this upcoming EV.
What Was Seen?
The Curvv’s sloping roofline was observed in the teaser released by Tata Motors, along with additional features such as a connected light setup at both the front and rear, similar to the Nexon EV. We also got a glimpse of the alloy wheel design, which looks similar to the Nexon EV’s but with added aero inserts. It is also set to get the flush door handles, making it the first Tata to get it. Other design elements include a closed-off grille on the EV version.
Expected Features and Safety Net
The SUV-coupe from Tata Motors is expected to get a 12.3-inch touchscreen, a 10.25-inch digital driver’s display, ventilated front seats, and a panoramic sunroof. In terms of safety, it is expected to get six airbags, a 360-degree camera with blind spot monitoring, front and rear parking sensors, electronic stability control (ESC), and Level 2 advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) including lane keep assist, autonomous braking, and adaptive cruise control.
Expected Powertrain
Till now, Tata has not revealed any information about the exact battery pack and motor details of the Curvv electric SUV, but we expect it to offer a choice of two battery packs with a maximum range of around 500 km. It will be based on Tata’s Acti.ev platform, as seen on its smaller sibling, the Punch EV, and will support DC fast charging, V2L (vehicle-to-load), drive modes, and adjustable energy regeneration.
Expected Prices and Rivals

The Curvv will also be launched in its ICE version later this year, with an expected price of Rs 10.50 lakh (ex-showroom). The Curvv will directly rival the Citroen Basalt, while it will also take on the likes of Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Maruti Grand Vitara, Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder, Volkswagen Taigun, and Skoda Kushaq.
