Curvv EV will launch first, followed by the diesel during the festive season and the petrol later.
Shortly after the Tata Curvv made its debut in close-to-production guise at the Bharat Mobility Show, our sources have confirmed that the company will the launch EV iteration sometime in the second quarter of FY2025 (July-September 2024). The diesel-powered Curvv will follow in 3-4 months’ time, which means the launch could be around Diwali this year, and the petrol will be the last to arrive.

- Curvv will be Tata’s answer to the likes of Creta, Seltos
Tata Curvv exterior details
The Curvv will be based on the Nexon platform, and as such, carries a familiar design language as well. It will have Tata’s signature new split LED headlamp setup, lots of gloss-black cladding on the sides, a split tail lamp setup at the rear, and of course, that distinct coupe-like roofline. EV and ICE models will likely be marked out by different looking bumpers and LED light signatures. In terms of dimensions, the Curvv will be 313mm longer than the Nexon, and the wheelbase too has gone up by 62mm.
Tata Curvv interior and features
A lot will be common between the Curvv and the Nexon on the inside. The dashboard design is largely the same on both models, and it carries over the same two-spoke steering wheel as well. The 10.25-inch screens for the instrument cluster and digital dials are likely to be carried over too, although the EV could be marked out by some unique switchgear and additional features, just as the Nexon EV has over the regular Nexon. Other features of note could include automatic AC, wireless charger, 360-degree camera, ventilated seats and connected car features. One of the exterior images also shows that the Curvv will get a sunroof, though it’s unlikely to be a panoramic unit.
Tata Curvv powertrain options
Under the hood, the Tata Curvv will come with the brand’s new 125hp, 1.2-litre, three-cylinder turbo-petrol engine, and will be offered with manual and automatic gearbox. Meanwhile, diesel versions will use the Nexon’s 1.5-litre, four-cylinder unit, making it only the third diesel offering in the midsize SUV segment. Tata is also expected to offer CNG on the Curvv. As for the EV, it will use Tata’s Gen 2 acti.ev architecture, and while technical details are currently sparse, it will likely have 450-500km range. With as many as four different powertrain options, the Curvv will have an unique edge in the segment.
Upon launch, the Curvv SUV coupe will enter the populated midsize SUV segment and rival the likes of the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Honda Elevate, Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, Toyota Hyryder, Skoda Kushaq, Volkswagen Taigun and MG Astor.
