Tata Motors is preparing to launch the new Nexon, Harrier & Safari facelifts before the end of this financial year. The company had showcased the Curvv SUV Coupe concept at the 2023 Auto Expo, which is reportedly to be introduced sometime in the first half of 2024. Tata Motors has started testing the Curvv SUV Coupe on the Indian roads.
Measuring 4.3 meters in length, the Tata Curvv SUV Coupe will rival the likes of the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, MG Astor, Skoda Kushaq, VW Taigun, Maruti Grand Vitara, Toyota Hyryder and the soon-to-be-launched Honda Elevate. The new SUV is based on the GEN 2 platform, which will also underpin the electric derivative of the Curvv.
The new Tata Curvv SUV Coupe previews the brand’s new design language, featuring a new front and rear design. The company claims that the new SUV will be aimed to younger buyers looking to drive home a different & aspirational product. The SUV will ride on a longer wheelbase compared to the Nexon compact SUV. It has longer doors, tapering woof, and all-new rear profile with a larger overhang. The concept had 20-inch wheels; however, the production model is likely to run on 17-inch & 16-inch wheel.
The spotted model was heavily wrapped in a thick cloth, revealing limited details. In fact, the rear end of the car is heavily camouflaged. It features a steeply raked windshield & sleek, angular tail lamp units. It will come with all-new cabin design, featuring a three-layer dashboard with a large touchscreen, a digital instrument console and a two-spoke steering wheel housing a central screen.
The production version of the Curvv will be available with both internal combustion engine (ICE) and electric powertrain options. The SUV Coupe is also likely to offer a compressed natural gas (CNG) fuel option. In terms of features, the SUV will have dual-zone climate control, auto park assist, and a 360 degree camera.
The Curvv SUV Coupe is likely to get a bigger battery pack (around 40kWh) and is expected to offer a range of 400-500km. The ICE version will be powered by a 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine that produces 125bhp and 225Nm of torque. Both manual and automatic gearboxes will be available.
