But if Tata wants to adopt a coupe like design in the Tata Curvv for the Indian market, is that a feat or a professional compromise?
It's grabbing attention with the Curvv's design, but also the Curvv's eyebrows. Others like the sporty, sleek look, differentiating it from an endless stream of boxy SUVs on the market. Others have concerns about practicality — won’t that sloping roofline impede rear headroom and cargo space? And then there is the issue of visibility. No doubt, it's a bold move from Tata. Yet in an area that places a high value on space and utility, can this be too much form over function? So is this the exact Indian car buyer has been waiting for – a stylish, standout offer that stands out from the crowd? It's an issue hotly debated on the forum and showrooms across the country.
Honestly, I think it is a game changer. It's been so boring long enough in indian car design to see something that looks cool. Will you lose a bit of head room? yes, but never mind, how often do you really fit tall adults in the back?
You bet, it’s a compromise. This isn’t Europe, where people buy cars just to feel good. We need our cars to be practical in India. Also, that sloping roof will be a real pain in the ass for people who are joint family or need to lug stuff regularly.
It's both, really. A fantastic design language game changer, but definitely not practical. I think it would be nice for young professionals, couples without kids, but not families.
It's about you guys making a statement. This car is speaking for me and saying that, 'hey, I care about style, and these days when so many people are so image conscious that's huge'. Practicality be damned — People will buy it just to stand out.
But like so many others, I’ll hold judgment until I sit in one. Remember photos can be deceiving – perhaps Tata's engineers are adept at folding up space despite what the coupe like roof may suggest. That would be revolutionary if they've pulled it off.
