The Curvv was first previewed as a concept model in April 2022. [1] In February 2024, Tata introduced another near-production concept model of the Curvv at the 2024 Auto Expo. [2]

The Curvv is based on the smaller Nexon, with much of the front section and the interior design are carried over from the smaller car. It is intended to occupy a higher segment, with a length of 4.3-metre. [3] It is 313 mm (12.3 in) longer than the Nexon and has a 62 mm (2.4 in) longer wheelbase. [4] [5]

The ICE-powered Curvv is available with three engine options: a 120 PS (118 hp; 88 kW) 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine, a new 125 PS (123 hp; 92 kW), 1.2-litre direct injection turbocharged petrol option, and a 118 PS (116 hp; 87 kW), 1.5-litre turbo-diesel unit. All three engine options are available with a 6-speed manual transmission, along with an optional 7-speed dual-clutch automatic. It is the only mass-market diesel car in India to offer a dual-clutch automatic gearbox. [3]

The Curvv EV is available with two battery pack options: 45 kWh with a 110 kW (148 hp; 150 PS) motor, and 55 kWh with a 123 kW (165 hp; 167 PS) motor. The 45 kWh pack provides a Modified Indian Drive Cycle (MIDC) range of 502 km (312 mi), while the 55 kWh pack offers 585 km (364 mi). Tata also claims a 50:50 front to rear weight distribution, a 190 mm (7.5 in) ground clearance and 450 mm (17.7 in) water wading depth for the Curvv EV. [6]
