Tata Motors has recently made waves in the Indian automotive market by launching its first-ever coupe SUV, the Tata Curvv. With the debut of both Electric Vehicle (EV) and Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) versions, the Curvv is set to redefine the mid-size SUV segment in India. The EV variant has already hit the market, with prices starting at Rs 18.45 lakh (on-road, Mumbai). Meanwhile, the pricing details for the ICE models are expected to be revealed on 2 September 2024.

What’s New: Tata Curvv CNG Variant on the Horizon
As excitement builds around the upcoming ICE models, Tata Motors has dropped hints about a new addition to the Curvv lineup – a CNG variant. Shailesh Chandra, Managing Director of Tata Motors, revealed that the Curvv would explore various powertrain options, including CNG, to cater to a broader audience. This strategic move follows the success of Tata’s twin-cylinder CNG technology, showcased earlier in the Nexon i-CNG at the Bharat Mobility Show. The anticipated CNG variant is expected to be powered by the same 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine, offering an eco-friendly and cost-effective option for Indian consumers.
Engine Options and Performance: A Powertrain for Every Need
The Tata Curvv’s ICE variants will be equipped with multiple engine options to suit diverse customer preferences. These include the 1.5-litre diesel engine producing 116 bhp and 260 Nm of torque, and the 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine, delivering 118 bhp and 170 Nm of torque. Additionally, Tata Motors will debut its new 1.2-litre TGDi engine, which offers an impressive 123 bhp and 225 Nm of torque. All engines will come paired with manual and dual-clutch automatic (DCA) gearbox options, ensuring a dynamic driving experience.
Anticipated Pricing: Competitive and Attractive
The Tata Curvv ICE models are expected to be priced competitively between Rs 13 lakh and Rs 22 lakh (on-road, Mumbai). The diesel variants, with their higher torque and power output, are likely to be priced slightly higher than their petrol counterparts.
With its diverse powertrain options, including the upcoming CNG variant, and competitive pricing, the Tata Curvv is poised to capture the attention of SUV enthusiasts across India.
