Will the Curvv’s bold design change perceptions of Tata as a brand?

You're both partially right. The Curvv will put butts in showrooms, but the difference will be the entire experience, a great test drive, a quality build experience and a great dealer interaction experience.

I feel we are underestimating how much Tata has got himself better already. That's where the Curvv enters the picture; it's just the cherry on top. They have been solid with their recent models and have top notch safety ratings. This is the last piece of the puzzle in the design.

Come on … many Indian buyers still regard Tata as a 'budget' brand. For their traditional customer base, the Curvv may be too expensive, and too un-grand to entice buyers from overseas brands. It could go and wind up somewhere in the middle.

Don’t forget the EV angle though, you are all missing that. If Tata succeeds in positioning the Curvv – especially the electric version – as a tech forward and sustainable alternative, it can significantly alter what we think about Tata. Though it's not all about looks, but being future ready.

I'm skeptical. When Tata launched the Nano, do you remember? That ought to have been revolutionary too. Just because one interesting model doesn't cause long term changes in brand perception, and just because one interesting model doesn't deliver in every market, doesn't mean that a model will never generate long term change in brand perception or that it won't do well in every single market.
Is the Tata Nexon EV all that it’s hyped to be, or is it just jumping the bandwagon on EVs?
22 October 2024 13:13
Of all the EVs in India (and there aren’t many), honestly, I think the Nexon EV deserves most of the hype. It is not perfect, but as an all around solid entry for anyone looking to go electric without spending the bank, its a solid choice. It’s not a bad range for a city car, and Tata is beefing up the charging infrastructure. Plus, they’ve got that SUV look to it which everyone seems to be crazy about nowadays.

Nah, it's overhyped. In hot weather with AC on, that real world range is a whole lot less than Tata claims. Good luck ever having a fast charger available when you realize you want one. This is a step in the right direction, but wait till you have better options or until the infrastructure improves if you intend to jump on the EV bandwagon.

I’ve had one for a year and love it. Yes, the range is by no means amazing, but that's not what you are going to need for the majority of commutes and weekend outings. It is addictive instant torque, and I like not going to petrol pumps anymore. It isn’t perfect but it’s a fantastic first EV for a lot of people.

If you look at it as a pioneer in the affordable EV space in India, the hype is justified. This has opened up the market, really, and forced other manufacturers to raise their game. But with so many newer options popping up all the time, it's starting to look its age a little. Tata needs to innovate and they have to continue in innovating if they are to remain ahead.

I think it's a bit of both. The Nexon EV is a good car, but there’s also quite some hype built around it due to lack of options in its price range. We'll have a much better idea of where it stands, as more competitors enter the market. It's a decent choice now, if you are EV curious and and don't want to spend a fortune.
When we talk about the Tata Curvv EV, will it tap into the avant garde features such as a touchscreen smart watch with a remote controlled feature; will it be a game changer or just another gimmick?
22 October 2024 09:43
I certainly believe it will be a game changer. The Indian consumer loves tech and a slick infotainment system may swing it for a lot of buyers, particularly the younger ones.

It's another distraction. We should have our heads turned towards the road, not towards shiny touchscreens. The last thing we need in Indian traffic is more excuses for taking our eyes off the road.

The true test will be whether it plays nice with our phones and apps. If only it integrates well with WhatsApp and Google Maps, it really is a useful tool. Or if that’s not the case, it’s just a really expensive screen.

Long term reliability is a concern of mine. Yes, sure, was it cool new, but then a couple of years down the line what happens when it starts to glitch! These high tech systems can be hell to repair.

It’s not the hardware it’s the software. If Tata would keep it updated with new features and also would regularly fix bugs it might be great. It'll be useless if they abandon it after launch.

I think its overkill for the Indian market. People just want a reliable car with good mileage. So really unnecessary cost for all this fancy features.

Fitted with EV specific options such as real-time range prediction and charging station locators though, the infotainment could be a big selling point. That would actually have added value.
How reliable was the build quality on the Nexon as alleged by Tata?
22 October 2024 05:59
I’ve had my Nexon for a year now and the build is solid. It's solid on the road, closes pleasantly with a big thunk. It’s not perfect but, for the price, it’s impressive.

Solid? Did you check the panel gaps? All over mine has inconsistent spacing. The paint quality alone is worth not getting me started on. But it's better than what we had with old Tatas, though still not in global terms.

I think people are too harsh. Don’t compare it to luxury cars, compare it to other cars in the price range. What you do get for the money is more than acceptable in terms of build quality. It's a big jump for Indian cars.
