Tata Curvv EV

The Tata Curvv.ev is offered with two battery pack options designed to cater to different types of buyers. The smaller battery focuses on urban practicality while the larger battery pack delivers stronger performance and extended range.

City Driving Experience

In city conditions, the Tata Curvv ev feels smooth and effortless to drive. The electric motor provides instant torque, which helps the vehicle accelerate quickly in traffic situations. This characteristic makes overtaking slower vehicles in city traffic easier.

The steering feels light at low speeds, which makes the Tata Curvv.ev easy to manoeuvre in tight spaces or crowded streets. Visibility from the driver’s seat remains good despite the coupe-style roofline.

Because electric cars operate silently, the cabin environment of the Tata Curvv.ev feels calm and comfortable even during heavy traffic conditions.

Highway Driving Experience

On highways, the Tata Curvv.ev behaves like a stable mid-size SUV. The suspension absorbs most road imperfections effectively, which helps improve passenger comfort.

The larger battery pack version of the Tata Curvv ev provides stronger acceleration and better high-speed performance. As a result, the long journeys on the highways are easy. All in all, the power delivery is smooth and strong.

The Tata Curvv.ev is available in two avatars in India - Curvv.ev 55 and Curvv. 45. These represent the battery capacities.

Curvv.ev 45 kWh

The 45 kWh iteration of the electric coupe SUV is ideal for those who want to experience the EV at minimal initial cost. The range is sufficient for everyday commuting and that is how most people will use it. Affordability is a major attraction with this variant.

Curvv.ev 55 kWh

Then there is the Curvv.ev with the larger 55 kWh battery pack. Those who would be using it for long highway journeys will prefer this trim. In addition to the higher range, even the performance on this version is slightly stronger. Hence, users won’t feel any lack of power even during high-speed overtakes. One just needs to be willing to splurge a bit more.

As per the MIDC Part 1 + Part 2 cycle, the Tata Curvv.ev boasts a range figure of 430 km and 502 km on a single charge with the smaller and larger battery packs, respectively. However, the real-world range can vary depending on driving style, traffic conditions, usage of air conditioning and weather.

• Curvv.ev 45 kWh: 320-350 km in mixed real-world driving conditions

• Curvv.ev 55 kWh: 380-400 km in mixed real-world driving conditions

Being an EV, regenerative braking recovers energy during frequent stop-and-go traffic. On highways, sustained speeds above 100 km/h can reduce the overall driving range slightly because there are fewer braking instances for energy recovery.

A key aspect to notice is that extreme temperatures also affect battery performance and efficiency. However, under normal conditions, the Tata Curvv ev offers a practical range that should comfortably handle daily commuting and occasional longer trips.

One of the biggest highlights of the Tata Curvv.ev is its distinctive coupe-SUV design. The vehicle features a sloping roofline that gives it a sporty and futuristic appearance. Until now, we have only seen this body type on premium luxury cars.

At the front, the Tata Curvv ev carries Tata’s latest EV design language with a closed grille and sleek LED lighting elements. A connected LED light strip stretches across the front fascia and the bumper lends it a sporty stance.

On the sides, the EV carries smooth body lines and large alloy wheels that enhance its premium appeal. The coupe-style roofline flows smoothly into the rear section.

At the back, the Tata Curvv.ev features connected LED tail lamps and a sculpted tailgate design. Overall, the design successfully combines aerodynamic efficiency with SUV-like road presence.

Step inside the Tata Curvv.ev and the cabin feels modern and technology-focused. The dashboard layout features a large 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system by HARMAN paired with a fully digital instrument cluster.

Most functions of the Tata Curvv ev are controlled through the touchscreen interface, including navigation, media and connected vehicle features. The system feels fairly intuitive and easy to use. Some of the other key bits include V2L, V2V, air purifier with AQI display, premium JBL Cinematic sound system, 6-way power adjustable driver’s seat, voice-assisted panoramic sunroof, multi mood ambient lighting, wireless charging, Alexa voice assistant, etc.

Despite the coupe-style roofline, the Tata Curvv.ev still offers decent passenger space. Front seat comfort is good, while the rear seat provides adequate legroom for passengers.

The cabin also includes several storage areas for everyday practicality. Boot space is sufficient for regular usage such as grocery runs or short weekend trips. Overall, the Tata Curvv ev interior focuses on delivering modern technology while maintaining everyday usability.

Tata Motors is known for maintaining the highest standards of safety in all its products. That is why it offers 5-star safety-rated vehicles almost across its portfolio. The Tata Curvv.ev is no different and it boasts a full 5-star safety rating at Bharat NCAP.

The Tata Curvv ev comes equipped with 6 airbags, all wheel disc brakes, Acoustic Vehicle Alert System, Driver doze-off alert, Blind spot detection, Autonomous emergency braking, ABS with EBD, electronic stability control, traction control system, hill hold assist, parking sensors, Level 2 ADAS, 360-degree camera, tire pressure monitoring system and more.

The battery pack placement under the floor also lowers the vehicle’s centre of gravity. This improves overall stability while cornering. All these safety features help ensure that the Tata Curvv.ev remains predictable and secure during both city commuting and highway journeys.

In India, the Tata Curvv.ev competes with the following EVs:

• MG ZS EV: It offers strong performance and premium features but comes at a higher price point.

• Mahindra XUV400 EV: It provides good range but lacks the coupe-SUV styling of the Tata Curvv ev.

• Hyundai Kona Electric: It is known for strong efficiency but priced significantly higher.

Among these competitors, the Tata Curvv.ev stands out due to its coupe-SUV styling, long driving range and competitive pricing.

Despite being an enticing electric SUV, the Tata Curvv.ev has its own set of strengths and weaknesses, which are mentioned in the table below.

The Tata Curvv.ev offers a rather premium appeal to rival its competitors. As a consequence, it combines the latest technology, styling and an upmarket cabin feel. That has been its strongest appeal for a whole bunch of buyers. Apart from that, the attractive pricing and the availability of two battery packs enable buyers to make an informed purchase decision, based on their individual requirements and preferences.

As is the case with every electric car, the main attraction continues to be the low running costs and no tailpipe emissions. Looking at the rivals at this price point, the Tata Curvv.ev is the only coupe SUV on offer. Hence, there is that appeal of owning something truly unique and distinct for that unparalleled road presence.
