News & Top StoriesTata 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.

Toyota offers specialized conversion kits for the Hilux in India through partnerships with a number of outside organizations.
One pickup truck that is well-known for its sturdy construction is the Toyota Hilux. The Hilux has exceptional off-road capabilities and is based on the Fortuner’s ladder-on-frame chassis. It is useful for a variety of uses due to its large cargo bed and overall size. Toyota has worked with a number of outside organizations to offer a variety of conversion choices that can alter the truck for specialized uses. Details about six of these operation-based Hilux adjustments are now available and are listed below.
Vehicle maintenance and disaster management
Rapid Hilux Intervention
At the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2024, Toyota recently unveiled the Rapid Intervention, a version of the Hilux designed for disaster management. It is designed specifically to give emergency relief where the big fire vehicles are unable to.
Toyota and New Age Fire Fighting Company Ltd. collaborated to provide this Hilux variant with modifications. The pickup’s cargo bed has undergone extensive modification to make room for the water pump, hoses, traffic cones, and other essential firefighting equipment. It also comes with a stretcher and ladder on top for use in an emergency. This Hilux variant costs more than Rs 70 lakh in total, making its total cost more than Rs 1 crore.

Mining and Building
Additionally, the Hilux can be altered for use on the surface as well as below. The front windscreen of the Toyota mining truck is protected by an exoskeleton support frame, which also adds to the cabin’s protection. This is an important factor to take into account because the vehicle is also used for moving defense personnel as well as for the transportation of products and services.
However, the FDV (Field Diagnosis Vehicle) version can also be used as a carrier for supplies and spares movements at remote construction sites. On-site machinery maintenance is another use for the Hilux FDV. The sample is equipped with a sizable toolbox, and the back cabin box may be opened to function as a shelf-filled shed.

The Hilux can also be used for security tasks like recovery, patrolling, and assistance. Its cargo bay can be transformed into a windowed personnel transporting structure. The Chandigarh police recently added the Toyota Hilux to their inventory of vehicles.
It is also possible to convert the Hilux’s cargo bed into a sizable enclosed carrier for use in banking, such as cash vaulting, doorstep ATM services, and cash transfer.
What Gives The Hilux Its Power?
The 2.8-liter diesel engine, which generates 204 PS and up to 500 Nm, powers the Toyota Hilux. There is a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission available for this machine. The precise gearbox choices that have been made available for the various Hilux models described above are unknown to us.

Both variants will be released in 2024; an EV version with a few minor design tweaks will also be offered.
Mercedes-Benz EQG
The all-electric Mercedes-Benz G-Class, or EQG, is one of the most impressive concept cars on display at the Bharat Mobility Expo. It has the same general layout as the standard G-Wagon, but the front has some changes to indicate that it is an electric vehicle. Although the EQG’s electric drivetrain specifications are still under wraps, it is known that it will have four motors—one for each wheel. Anticipate its release in India around 2025, with a potential starting price of Rs 3.5 crore.

Flex-fuel Models

In 2025, flex fuel vehicles are expected to play a significant role in the Indian automotive sector as the government works to reduce the carbon emissions of internal combustion engines (ICE) while also reducing our reliance on foreign oil imports. These two prototypes can operate on gasoline that contains up to 85% ethanol.
