How pragmatic is the Curvv compared to regular boxy SUVs in prevalent Indian conditions?
24 October 2024 23:03
It’s no way as practical as a traditional SUV. And how well do you think you can fit a big cooler or a couple of suitcases into that tip up trunk? Plus, good luck if you ever need to move furniture or something long. Sometimes it’s boring and boxy is better for real life.

It doesn’t matter what you want; it’s about the target audience, you’re both missing the point. The Curvv is not for people moving tons of stuff on a regular basis. Something stylish for daily use but, being sturdy enough for the occasional road trip. It's for urban dwellers.

First, let’s discuss something important: ground clearance. The clearness is actually pretty good if you consider crosswise conditions they are just fine for Indian roads. With surprise potholes and flooded streets, I'd rather have that than a few extra liters of cargo space.

People overestimate how much space they really need, I think. A boxy SUV might be better for that one annual road trip, for sure, but for all but 10% of your driving, the Curvv is probably just about practical enough.

Has visibility ever been considered? The rear end may look cool but I’ll be on that, it’ll be nightmarishly awful for parking in, and maneuvering in tight spots, and I bet. In crowded Indian cities that’s a big deal.

Fuel efficiency, you all forget. The Curvv has a sleeker shape than boxy SUVs, which probably makes it more aerodynamic. That could mean real savings at the pump in the long run – and that's pretty practical in my book.
Real Indian driving conditions should tell us how will the range anxiety of Tata Curvv EV compare to other EVs.

The Curvv will actually profit pretty well with range anxiety, I think. Its sleek design is expected to make it more efficient than boxier EVs — a boon that could translate into better real world range in Indian conditions.

Anxiety about range is going to be an issue no matter what. Until the Curvv has charging stations as ubiquitous as petrol pumps, whether it can go 10 km or 1000 km doesn’t matter: people will still fret.

And the real test would be summer traffic jams in Delhi or Mumbai. Well, if the Curvv can still make due in bumper to bumper traffic with the AC blasting and still have decent range, then it's a winner in my book.

The worry is about the battery degradation over time. Yes, it may have amazing range when it’s brand new, but what about a couple of years into an Indian summer, in potholed roads? That's the real question.

Mostly, Range Anxiety is just a psychological thing. People will see, once they actually own and drive the Curvv, just how much you actually get for daily use. It's literally just getting past that initial mental hurdle that that thing is bringing you.

Actually, the Curvv's range might be worse than we thought. All of those fancy electronics probably drain power faster than a standard EV, and that sloping roof may mean a smaller battery pack.

For city use it seems fine but traveling long trips might be stressful. Until we have viable, reliable fast charging networks on our highways, any EV, I am afraid, will cause road trippers to worry.
Is the Tata Nexon's safety ratings just an overhyped reality?
23 October 2024 12:31
The 5* rating is real, not everything! Yes, it’s good for marketing but real world safety is more than just crash test. The Nexon's build quality is decent but then there's also active safety features and the much talked about driver assistance tech.
Is the Tata Nexon's safety ratings just an overhyped reality?
23 October 2024 12:31
Overhyped? No way! The Nexon's rating is a big deal in a country where road safety is a huge issue. It's forcing other manufacturers to step up their efforts. It's not perfect, but it is a step in the right direction towards getting Indian car safety standards up to scratch, yeah.
Is the Tata Nexon's safety ratings just an overhyped reality?
23 October 2024 12:31
I think it's a bit overhyped. Don't get me wrong, safety is good, but then again, the Nexon isn't the only safe car. Some competitors have similar safety features, but don't advertise it as much as those who do. Plus, safety ratings don't matter nearly as much as safe driving habits.
Is the Tata Nexon's safety ratings just an overhyped reality?
23 October 2024 12:31
And I don't even have room to comment being somebody who's been in a bad accident so why I'm not hyped is totally beyond me. There’s nothing like knowing your car has a top safety rating and giving you peace of mind. It's not the only thing but it’s gotta be one of the most important things if you’re picking out a family car.

But it’s not the entire story, and it’s not overhyped. The 5-star rating is good enough, but Tata needs to work on creating build quality consistency and long term reliability as well. Safety is just one part of this.
Will the Curvv’s bold design change perceptions of Tata as a brand?
22 October 2024 15:41
I think it will certainly help change perceptions. The Curvv looks nothing like old Tatas – and that is just what they need. This will get people to be talking about and reconsidering the brand – especially younger buyers.

Design alone isn't enough. If Tata want to change minds, they need to nail the quality and reliability. You can't wipe away years of the public forgetting about your cars because they were so crappy in build quality with just one cool looking car.
