Tata Motors has been making significant strides lately, most notably with the launch of updated versions of the Tata Safari and Tata Harrier. Now, they are setting their sights on the highly competitive compact SUV segment, where the Hyundai Creta reigns supreme. Tata's answer to this challenge is the much-awaited Tata Curvv, a new model in their lineup. This new model has been spotted testing ahead of its planned debut in 2024.
Unique Design: A Coupe-Styled SUV
The Tata Curvv stands out in its class, not just for how well it performs, which is just as good as its competitors, but mainly for its unique design. This car has a special sloping roof that you usually find in fancy sports cars, making it look like a cool coupe. However, it is now seen in more reasonably priced mass-market vehicles. Because of its distinctive design, the Curvv stands out from its competitors with an attractive and sporty look.
The Curvv's exterior features include a split headlight arrangement, a two-layer grille with horizontal slats, and a dramatic bonnet with a connected light beam. It is anticipated to have 17-inch alloy wheels with strong wheel arches that add to its sturdy look. The sleek roofline gracefully merges into the rear profile, creating a harmonious and eye-catching overall design. Other noteworthy design elements include A-pillar mounted side mirrors, flush-fitting door handles, a shark-fin antenna, and connected LED tail lamps with a sequential lighting function.
Tech-Focused Interiors
Stepping inside the Tata Curvv, you'll find a tech-centric and comfortable cabin. Tata plans to provide a comprehensive array of tech features, drawing inspiration from the recently launched Nexon EV facelift.
Ventilated front seats, a roomy 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system that functions as the center of information and entertainment, and a big 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster that offers crucial driving information are among the standout features. A touch-sensitive HVAC panel will also be included in the Curvv, making climate control adjustments simple. Additionally, the wireless smartphone connectivity guarantees a smooth integration of your mobile devices with the car. Other creature comforts include an air purifier for a better cabin atmosphere, wireless charging, auto-dimming inside rearview mirrors, and a sunroof to brighten the interior. An illuminating Tata symbol adorns the two-spoke steering wheel, an exclusive element that enhances the driving experience.
Safety and Advanced Tech
Safety is a top priority for the Tata Curvv. Six airbags will be standard on the SUV, providing complete occupant protection. The addition of a 360-degree surround-view camera will also make parking and navigating in confined areas much easier, and the addition of front and rear parking sensors will increase safety even more when making low-speed manoeuvres. Adaptive cruise control makes long highway rides more convenient for people who enjoy them. Tata is also considering equipping the top-tier Curvv versions with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), which would enhance convenience and safety even more with features like lane-keeping assistance and automated emergency braking.
The Curvv: Electric and Gasoline Variants
To satisfy a range of demands and tastes, Tata is offering the Curvv with a number of engine options. The electric version is expected to be a great choice for anyone who cares about the environment and wants to lessen their influence on the environment, with an estimated 500 km of range on a single charge. Tata intends to release an internal combustion engine (ICE) option with a new 1.2-liter turbocharged petrol engine in addition to the electric model. With 125 PS of maximum power and 225 Nm of peak torque, this engine should provide an exciting and effective driving experience. Tata may fit the ICE Curvv with a 7-speed dual-clutch automated (DCT) gearbox to go along with this engine. This gearbox is comparable to the one found on the
