Tata Curvv vs. Tata Nexon: An explanation of the seven most significant differences
Tata’s next compact SUV, the Curvv, shares certain design similarities with the Nexon, but it differs greatly from its sub-4 million SUV sister.
Recently, the Tata Curvv made its formal debut at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2024 in a closer-to-production avatar. This variant was not electric; rather, it was the internal combustion engine (ICE) version. Though it is a more fashionable model, it is the Indian automaker’s challenger for the small SUV market, going up against established names like the Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos. The Nexon, a sub-4-meter SUV, was your only choice for a compact Tata SUV up until this point, but that will soon change. With the Curvv sitting between the Nexon and Harrier, you may choose a larger Tata SUV without having to go all the way to the 4.6-meter-long Harrier.
Let’s examine the seven main distinctions between the Curvv and Nexon’s ICE versions in this tale
Size
| Dimension | Curvv | Nexon | Difference |
| Length | 4308 mm | 3995 mm | +313 mm |
| Width | 1810 mm | 1804 mm | +6 mm |
| Height | 1630 mm | 1620 mm | +10 mm |
| Wheelbase | 2560 mm | 2498 mm | +62 mm |
It is smaller than the Nexon in every way. The Curvv is a sub-4 meter SUV that can compete directly with vehicles like the Hyundai Creta and Maruti Grand Vitara because of its length of over 4.3 meters. The Curvv will probably have more rear legroom than the Nexon because to its advantage in overall length and wheelbase. In contrast, the Nexon lags slightly behind in terms of both height and width.
Variations In Style And Designs
The Curvv’s most distinctive feature is its coupe-style roofline that flows into its raised rear end. On the Curvv, Tata has also incorporated flush-fitting door handles, which, should they make it into the production-spec car, may be a first for the segment.
A further point of differentiation may be seen in the rear of the two SUVs. The Curvv boasts a larger rear profile and boot lid, which should provide more room for luggage in the boot than the Nexon’s upright tailgate. According to paper, this means that the Curvv’s boot space is bigger than the Nexon’s, at 422 liters, or 40 liters more.
Bigger Wheels
The company used larger 18-inch alloy wheels on the Curvv’s showcase version, while the Nexon’s higher-spec models come with 16-inch units. The alloy wheels of the Curvv feature a petal-like design, while the Nexon’s wheels contain plastic aero flaps inside the diamond-cut pattern (which, according to Tata, help to improve aerodynamic efficiency).
Open-Air Sunroof
Instead of using a single pane sunroof like the Nexon, Tata has chosen to use a panoramic one on the Curvv. It should undoubtedly contribute to the cabin’s feeling both lighter and less cramped inside. (Tata Curvv vs Tata Nexon)
Steering wheel resembling a Harrier
Although the Curvv and Nexon share many interior features, the Curvv’s 2-spoke steering wheel is different. Rather, Tata fitted it with a 4-spoke steering wheel akin to the Harrier, which houses the audio and phone functions along with the lighted “Tata” emblem.
A Larger Touchscreen
The Curvv boasts an even larger central screen than the Nexon, despite the latter receiving larger digital displays (10.25-inch apiece) for infotainment and instrumentation with its most recent midlife upgrade. The new Nexon EV, which has wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility, has the same 12.3-inch unit. (Tata Curvv vs Tata Nexon)
ADAS
It is anticipated that Tata will equip the Curvv with nearly same safety features as the Nexon, such as a 360-degree camera and six airbags. But if it has some advanced driving assistance systems (ADAS), that will probably take things a step further. It ought to have functions like automated emergency braking (AEB), rear-cross traffic alert, and adaptive cruise control.
Prices
| Tata Curvv (expected) | Tata Nexon |
| Rs 10.50 lakh to Rs 16 lakh | Rs 8.10 lakh to Rs 15.50 lakh |
Given its bigger size and abundance of features, the Curvv is expected to command a higher price than the Nexon. The mid-spec Curvv variants and the higher-spec Nexon variants will, nevertheless, also have similar prices.
These are a few of the most significant distinctions between the Nexon and the forthcoming Curvv SUV-coupe. How do you feel about these variations? Tell us in the comments below.
