News & Top StoriesThe Tata Curvv will be the upcoming model to join the small SUV market in India. Similar to the Tata Nexon subcompact SUV, it will be available in both internal combustion engine (ICE) and electric vehicle (EV) models. Let’s now examine the similarities and differences between the two Tata SUVs, as we have previously seen how they will differ.
Comparable Exterior And Interior Design Elements
Tata originally introduced the Curvv concept’s split-headlight and LED DRL design philosophy on the redesigned Nexon. The closer-to-production version displayed at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2024 indicates that it will also be apparent on the Curvv ICE. It has triangular housings for the LED headlights, chrome inserts in the lower part of the bumper, and more angular LED DRLs on either side of the grille. Similar to the facelifted Tata Nexon EV, the Curvv will also feature an integrated LED DRL arrangement.
Tata’s SUV coupe looks to have a touch-based climate control panel and a simple dashboard inside, just like the Nexon.
Typical Elements in Many
The Curvv will have two digital displays—one for infotainment and the other for the driver’s cluster—just like the recently redesigned Nexon. The 10.25-inch digital driver display will remain the same, although it may receive the larger 12.3-inch touchscreen found on the Nexon EV. Additional common features will be linked car technology, wireless phone charging, air conditioning, height-adjustable front seats, and cruise control.
We anticipate that it will come equipped with the same suite of safety features found in the Nexon, which includes six airbags, a 360-degree camera, a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), and ISOFIX child seat anchorages. Advanced driving assistance systems (ADAS) including adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, and autonomous emergency braking may also be fitted to the Curvv by Tata.
Comparable Fuel and Diesel Engine Options
A 1.5-liter diesel engine and a 1.2-liter turbo-petrol engine are available for the ICE variants of the Curvv and Nexon.

| Specifications | Tata Curvv/ Nexon Petrol | Tata Curvv/ Nexon Diesel |
| Engine | 1.2-litre turbo | 1.5-litre diesel |
| Power | 125 PS/ 120 PS | 115 PS |
| Torque | 225 Nm/ 170 Nm | 260 Nm |
| Transmission | 6-speed MT, 7-speed DCT (expected)/ 5-speed MT, 6-speed MT, 6-speed AMT, 7-speed DCT | 6-speed MT/ 6-speed MT, 6-speed AMT |
Naturally, Tata built the brand-new turbo-petrol engine in the Curvv, which was last seen at the Auto Expo 2023.
Launch Schedule for Curvv
The launch dates for the Tata Curvv and Curvv EV have been revealed, with the latter expected to arrive first. We anticipate that the Curvv ICE will start at Rs 10.50 lakh (ex-showroom). Its competitors include the Skoda Kushaq, Volkswagen Taigun, MG Astor, Hyundai Creta, Maruti Grand Vitara, Kia Seltos, Hyundai Creta, Honda Elevate, Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder, and Citroen C3 Aircross.
