Following the launch of the Curvv EV earlier last month, Tata Motors has launched the Curvv. Competing in the highly populated compact SUV segment, the Tata Curvv is priced between ₹9.99 lakh to ₹17.69 lakh, ex-showroom. The prices are introductory and are applicable on bookings till October 31, 2024.

The Tata Curvv is available across four trim level - Smart, Pure, Creative and Accomplished. The Curvv further gets further sub variants as well. Interestingly, the Tata Curvv becomes the 11th vehicle in the compact SUV segment.

The Curvv sits on Tata Motors' new ATLAS platform. The Tata Curvv subtle distincts itself from the Curvv EV. The Curvv gets front grilles with vents to pass on cool air to the engine while the air dam has been designed differently. Furthermore, the 18 inch alloy wheels also differ from that of the Curvv EV which needs a more aerodynamic design to enhance range.

While at the rear, it gets ‘Curvv’ branding instead of the ‘Curvv.EV’ branding found on the Curvv EV. Despite this some similarities remain such as the SUV Coupe body design with flush door handles.

In terms of amenities, the Tata Curvv gets a four-spoke steering wheel with backlit Tata logo, 12.3-inch infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, nine-speaker JBL sound system and a wireless phone charger.
