The Curvv EV is based on the Acti.EV platform and includes distinct styling cues such as a covered grille panel and aero curtains on the bumper.

Both versions have 18-inch alloy wheels, but the ICE model features dual-tone wheels.
 
Inside, both the EV and ICE versions share a similar cabin design, with differences in interior trims: black and burgundy for the ICE and empowered grey and white for the EV. The dashboard is minimalistic, featuring a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster (both by Harman), a 9-speaker JBL sound system, and a voice-assisted panoramic sunroof.
