 Introduction

Introduction of Tata Curvv

The Tata Curvv is an all-new mid-size SUV from Tata Motors, marking a significant step forward in
the brand’s design and technology evolution. First showcased as a concept vehicle in April 2022, the
Curvv represents Tata’s bold vision for the future of personal mobility in both electric and internal
combustion engine (ICE) segments. The vehicle blends the practicality of an SUV with the elegance
of a coupe, introducing a distinctive design language that sets it apart in the highly competitive mid-
size SUV market.

History and Development

The Tata Curvv was first revealed to the public as an electric vehicle concept. Tata Motors, already a
leader in India’s electric vehicle (EV) space with models like the Nexon EV and Tigor EV, aimed to
expand its EV portfolio by introducing a futuristic SUV concept that catered to the next generation of
buyers. The Curvv concept was unveiled under Tata’s Generation 2 EV architecture, which promised
better range, efficiency, and a more refined design compared to its earlier EV offerings.

The concept vehicle drew widespread attention for its coupe-like sloping roofline—an unconventional
design choice for SUVs in the Indian market. Tata Motors designed the Curvv to appeal to young,
urban buyers looking for modern styling combined with advanced features and sustainability. Its
strong response at auto shows and events encouraged Tata to fast-track its production version.

Launch and Market Introduction

In 2024, Tata Motors officially launched the production version of the Tata Curvv, starting with its
ICE variants. The launch event marked Tata’s entry into a new segment that combined the stylish
appeal of a coupe SUV with practical mid-size dimensions suited for Indian roads. The Tata Curvv
ICE version comes with both petrol and diesel engine options, catering to customers who prefer
traditional fuel-powered vehicles while maintaining an eye on affordability and performance.

Following the ICE launch, Tata Motors plans to introduce the fully electric version of the Curvv,
expected later in 2024. This move will further strengthen Tata’s position in the Indian EV market and
offer consumers a choice between conventional and electric drivetrains within the same model lineup.

The Curvv’s launch is significant because it highlights Tata Motors’ evolving design philosophy—
referred to as “Digital”—which emphasizes clean, sharp lines, minimalism, and advanced
technologies. It also aligns with the company’s strategy to offer Level 2 ADAS features, improved
safety with six airbags, and futuristic infotainment systems in its latest vehicles.
