The coupe SUV styling is still considerably new to the Indian market, but Tata Motors doesn’t intend the Curvv to be a niche vehicle.
Tata Curvv EV Pros
Coupe SUV styling is unique & a great differentiator. Grabs attention on the road
A good overall package that’s priced competitively against rivals like the ZS EV, XUV400 & Nexon EV Long Range
165 BHP motor is very enjoyable. 400 km real-world range is sufficient for city + highway driving
Sorted road manners & high speed stability
Zero emissions, cheap “fuel” costs, no gears, light controls make it an ideal city car
500-litre boot is accommodating enough for family holiday luggage
Long list of features includes flush door handles, powered tailgate with gesture activation, 9-speaker JBL audio system (sounds really nice!), panoramic sunroof, V2L & V2V charging, Arcade.ev app suite, recline adjustment for rear seats and more
Loaded with safety tech like level 2 ADAS, 6 airbags, all-wheel disc brakes, acoustic vehicle alert system for pedestrians, ESP, front parking sensors, 360-degree view camera, TPMS, hill hold assist & hill descent control
Tata Curvv EV Cons
Rear seat is uncomfortable for tall passengers - high floor, difficult ingress & egress and limited headroom (due to the coupe styling)
Suspension has a firm edge to it due to 18-inch wheels (top variant). Ride is liveable, but you do feel the bad roads. 17” wheel lower variants could ride better
Build quality and fit & finish – while being satisfactory - have room for improvement
Rearward visibility is poor, as is the case with most Coupe-SUVs
A few missing features like telescopic adjustment for the steering wheel, cupholders for front passengers, a rear sunshade…
The usual EV challenges (charging infrastructure, range anxiety etc.)
Tata's after-sales service quality is a hit or miss. Remains a gamble
It's a brand-new Tata launch, so the probability of niggles is high, especially in the initial batches
