Checked out the Tata Curvv; My observations as a VW Taigun user

Car does look good in person, pictures and videos doesn’t do justice to this car.

BHPian Adam recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Checked out Curvv Ev and ICE versions and here are the observations from a Taigun user.

• The car does look good in person, but pictures and videos don’t do justice to this car. Meanwhile, I never liked Nexon styling ev for many reasons, especially due to the rear quarter and rear end styling. Curvv somehow looks more proportional and the coupe rear end matches well with the rising window line.

• It's not a spacious car! Especially at the rear. Rear legroom is limited due to the shorter wheelbase and lack of under-thigh support due to the raised floor. Due to the slopping roof, I was expecting a compromised headroom but the lack of knee room and lack of space to stretch your leg underneath the front seat makes it uncomfortable for long rides for a 6-foot-tall person like me.All the extra length of this car went on to the coupe styling and boot which surprisingly is quite good.

• The dashboard is straight-up lifted from Nexon, and the layout, textures, and colors are used tastefully. There is some scope for improvements in fit and finish, but Tata has improved their game by a huge margin from their previous generation cars.The plastics used are good but not great, could have used some soft-touch plastics on the touch points of the door and dashboard which would have definitely improved the cabin experience. The red wine color combination needs a shout-out, it’s tastefully done. 

• Ingress and egress are a bit difficult in the rear due to the high floor, it becomes especially difficult when the front seat is at its rearmost position.

• The range on paper looks good and seems adequate for the price but it depends on the use case.

• Some Quality and Ergonomics issues.

1. The HVAC control is not great, it's very inconsistent in operation, steering wheel looks impressive but the controls are not properly placed IMHO.
2. On to the exterior, the black claddings are gonna bring huge sales to PPF folks, and potential customers should take your Curvv EV to a PPF shop soon after you are out of the showroom.

Overall I liked the car, it’s good. Unfortunately, the lack of rear legroom is something I cannot accept in a C-segment car, I can live with the slopping roof and compromised headroom but legroom is something very important for a long-distance comfortable travel in my personal opinion.

But apart from these shortcomings, Curvv is a promising product and may even can become one of Tata’s hot sellers in no time.
