Tata Curvv to get a new 1.2L GDi Petrol engine, Diesel DCT

The Tata Curvv SUV Coupe will compete with the Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos.

Tata Motors recently unveiled the Curvv SUV Coupe in ICE and pure-electric guise. According to media reports, the Curvv.ev will be offered with two battery options. Now, fresh details of the ICE version have surfaced online.

Reports suggest that the Tata Curvv will get three engine options at launch. These include a 1.2-litre turbo-petrol and a 1.5-litre diesel from the Nexon. While the 1.2-litre unit produces 118 BHP and 170 Nm, the diesel packs 113 BHP and 260 Nm. 

Besides these, a new 1.2-litre direct-injection petrol engine will be introduced on the Curvv. This engine develops 123 BHP and 225 Nm. All three engines will be paired with a 6-speed manual and a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

The Tata Curvv will be the only model in its segment to offer a Diesel DCT, which should give it an edge over rivals like the Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos.

The Tata Curvv.ev will go on sale on August 7. The ICE version will be launched at a later date.
