In a groundbreaking move that’s set to reshape India’s automotive landscape, Tata Motors has unveiled its latest marvel – the Tata Curvv EV.
This cutting-edge electric SUV coupe is not just another addition to the burgeoning EV market; it’s a bold statement of Tata’s commitment to sustainable mobility and innovative design.
A New Era of Electric Mobility
The Curvv EV marks a significant milestone in Tata’s electric vehicle journey. Positioned strategically between the popular Nexon EV and the upcoming Harrier EV, the Curvv EV is designed to cater to the growing demand for premium electric SUVs in India.
With its sleek coupe-like silhouette and robust SUV stance, the Curvv EV is set to turn heads and win hearts.
Power and Performance
Tata has left no stone unturned when it comes to the Curvv EV’s performance. The vehicle comes with two battery pack options:
- A 45 kWh battery pack that delivers 148 bhp and 215 Nm of torque, boasting an impressive claimed range of 502 km.
- A larger 55 kWh battery pack, pushing out 165 bhp and 215 Nm of torque, with an extended range of 585 km on a single charge.
These figures not only promise exhilarating performance but also address the range anxiety that often plagues potential EV buyers.
Design that Demands Attention
The Curvv EV’s design is a perfect blend of form and function. Measuring 4,308mm in length, 1,810mm in width, and standing 1,630mm tall, the Curvv EV cuts an imposing figure on the road.
Its 2,560mm wheelbase ensures ample interior space, while the estimated 422-liter boot space adds practicality to its sporty appeal.
Interior: A Tech-Savvy Haven
Step inside the Curvv EV, and you’re greeted by a futuristic cabin that’s both luxurious and functional. The dashboard is dominated by a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, complemented by a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster.
The white and grey interior theme exudes sophistication, while features like ventilated front seats, a panoramic sunroof, and a 320W JBL sound system elevate the in-cabin experience.
Comfort and Convenience
The Curvv EV doesn’t skimp on comfort. With 6-way adjustable front seats, a 2-position rear seat recline, and multiple drive modes (Eco, City, and Sport), it ensures a tailored driving experience for every journey.
Pricing and Variants
Tata has strategically priced the Curvv EV to make it an attractive proposition for EV enthusiasts and first-time buyers alike. The variant-wise ex-showroom prices are as follows:
Curvv EV 45 kWh:
- Creative: Rs 17.49 lakh
- Accomplished: Rs 18.49 lakh
- Accomplished +S: Rs 19.29 lakh
Curvv EV 55 kWh:
- Accomplished: Rs 19.25 lakh

Safety: A Top Priority
True to Tata’s reputation for building safe vehicles, the Curvv EV is expected to come loaded with safety features. While the official safety rating is yet to be announced, industry experts anticipate a 5-star rating, given Tata’s track record.
The Curvv EV is likely to offer six airbags, ABS with EBD, ISOFIX child seat anchors, and even ADAS Level 2 features, setting new benchmarks in the segment.
The Road Ahead
The launch of the Curvv EV is just the beginning. Tata Motors has hinted at expanding the Curvv lineup with ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) variants in the near future.
These will include a 1.2-liter turbo-petrol engine producing 125 hp and 225 Nm of torque, and a 1.5-liter diesel engine borrowed from the Nexon. This multi-powertrain approach ensures that the Curvv caters to a wide range of consumer preferences.
Market Impact and Competition
The Curvv EV enters a market that’s ripe for disruption. It will go head-to-head with upcoming models like the Hyundai Creta EV, MG ZS EV, and Mahindra XUV400. The coupe SUV segment will see further heating up with the imminent launch of the Citroen Basalt.
Tata’s aggressive pricing strategy and the Curvv’s impressive feature list position it as a strong contender in this competitive landscape.
The company’s established EV ecosystem, including a growing charging network and after-sales support, gives it a significant edge over newcomers in the electric vehicle space.
Looking to the Future – Tata Curvv EV
