Tata Motors is planning on expanding its portfolio in the Indian market. To achieve this goal, the brand has announced multiple products as their future launches.

It is to be noted that the model has been shown earlier in different stages of production by the brand, including display at the Auto Expo 2023. What’s different this time is the fact that the Tata Curvv has made its debut with a 1.5L 4-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine.
This power unit is capable of pushing out 113 Bhp of power and 260 Nm of peak torque. It is worth mentioning that this is the same engine that the brand uses in the popular Nexon. The power source will be paired with an automatic transmission and will get the option of manual gearbox choices.
Expectations are that the brand will introduce a petrol-powered version of the car in the future, which will be a new 1.2L turbo-petrol engine. The Curvv will also receive an electric power version later on, like the Tata Nexon and Tata Punch SUVs.
On scale, the Tata Curvv has a length of 4,308 mm, a width of 1,810 mm, and a height of 1,630 mm. Meanwhile, the wheelbase of the model stands at 2,560 mm. The mid-size coupe SUV has a unique personality with a unique design with a dipping roofline.
Additionally, it is an example of the brand’s design language with connected LED DRLs on the front and something similar on the rear end. Showing the characteristics of its SUV genes, the model gets 18-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, that go with the overall design of the vehicle.
Tata Motors will likely introduce the Curvv by the end of this year, joining an intensive list of SUVs like the Tata Punch, Tata Nexon, Tata Harrier and Tata Safari. For the diesel variant, the starting price is expected to be around Rs 12.50 lakh, and the petrol variants may begin at Rs 11 lakh and above.
