Spy images of what appears to be the Tata Curvv SUV have surfaced online. It seems that Tata Motors has commenced the road testing of the prototype vehicles. The car was pictured at a parking lot with other Tata test mules.
Tata had showcased the Curvv concept SUV at the 2023 Auto Expo. But this time it had an ICE engine. The earlier concept was showcased with an EV powertrain. As the model was claimed to be close to production, the car could go on sale early next year.
The Curvv comes with a slim upper LED DRL and triangular headlamps which have an animated welcome feature as one approaches the SUV. The front lower bumper also sports a grooved pattern that Tata says gives a feeling of precision.
Towards the sides, the Curvv features a tall stanced-design, tough cladding and large offset front and rear fenders. The Curvv also features a floating C-pillar that allows for airflow from the side of the body to pass underneath the pillar and exit at the side of the rear screen. The wheels also have an aerodynamic design and diamond-cut finished surfaces.
At the back, the Curvv features signature LED lamps that surround the haunch. It also features a horizontal light bar that accentuates the width of the SUV further. The rear of the SUV also features a split spoiler.
On the inside, the Curvv will feature Tata’s next-gen cabin design. In the pre-production car, there was a triple-layer dashboard with multiple screens.
While the Curvv initially previewed the company’s Generation 2 EV architecture, the car at the Auto Expo had a 1.2-litre Turbo GDi petrol engine. This motor is compliant with E20 and Bharat Stage 6 Phase 2 norms and puts out 125 PS of power and 225 Nm of torque.
