The new model will offer the option between ICE and fully electric powertrains
- The Tata Curvv entered production more than two years after the concept car was introduced.
- The budget SUV Coupe will debut in the Indian market on August 7.
- Buyers will have a choice between gasoline, diesel, and EV powertrains.
Tata unveiled the production version of the Curvv. The coupe-SUV will be available in both EV and ICE forms, with the market launch in India scheduled for August 2024.
The Tata Curvv concept was introduced in EV form in April 2022, with the ICE-powered equivalent following in January 2023. The production versions look very similar, with only a few toned-down features. The highlight is the sloping roofline, making it look like a cut-price BMW X6.

Notable changes include the redesigned full-LED headlights above a slightly tweaked grille, bringing the Curvv more in line with other Tata models. The SUV also received conventional mirrors, smaller wheels, and a more discreet rear spoiler, while retaining the flush door handles.
The main differentiation point between the EV and ICE models is the grille-less look, bumper-mounted charging port, and EV badges of the former, as the sheet metal on the profile and tail appears to be identical. The electric version also gets a different set of alloy wheels for better aerodynamics.

Tata Curvv Concepts
Tata didn’t publish photos of the interior, but our colleagues from Autocar India got a preview from VR headsets. They claim that the dashboard is carried over from the Nexon, including a 12.3-inch infotainment, a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, and touch-sensitive controls. Curvv buyers will also get to choose between different interior colors and accents.

The Curvv is based on Tata’s Gen 2 architecture and is expected to share its powertrain options with the Nexon subcompact SUV. The company didn’t get into specifics at this point, but the ICE-powered Curvv is expected to be offered with a turbo 1.2-liter gasoline engine, and possibly a 1.5-liter diesel in the future. On the other hand, the EV will reportedly be available with two battery options, offering up to a claimed 500 km (311 miles) of range.
The detailed technical specifications of the Tata Curvv will be announced on its formal debut on August 7, along with pricing for the Indian market. Local media Car Dekho estimates that the ICE-powered Curvv could start from around Rs 10.50 lakh ($12,550), and the Curvv.EV from Rs 20 lakh ($23,905).
