The electric version of the Tata Curvv will debut on August 7, 2024, followed by the ICE version.
Shailesh Chandra, Managing Director of Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles and Tata Passenger Electric Mobility, commented on the reveal, stating, “Tata Motors has been a leader in the Indian SUV market, consistently innovating with designs that offer strong road presence and enhanced functionality. Our past models like the Sierra, Safari, Nexon, Punch, and Harrier have showcased our design-led market leadership in SUVs. Building on this legacy and expanding our SUV lineup, we are introducing the Tata Curvv - India’s first SUV Coupe. This innovative design brings the coupe body style to the premium segment, offering exceptional performance and unprecedented practicality. The Curvv supports our multi-powertrain strategy with petrol, diesel, and electric options, catering to diverse needs of mid SUV customers with a stylish and high-performing product.
Tata Curvv: Design
The Tata Curvv closely resembles its initial concept shown in 2022. This coupe SUV features a new design philosophy seen in recent Tata models like the Nexon and Harrier facelifts. It boasts a sleek LED light bar at the front, split headlamps, and signature LED DRLs. Other design elements include flush-fitting door handles, an LED light bar connecting the taillights, and new alloy wheels. The standout feature is its sloping roofline with a raked rear windscreen, giving it a notchback style.
The Curvv maintains a sleek yet rugged look with a raised ride height and side cladding. Its high ground clearance provides a balanced stance. The coupe SUV will debut in two new colors: Virtual Sunrise for the Curvv EV and Gold Essence for the Curvv ICE.
