Are you tired of seeing the same old boxy SUVs on the road? Enter the Tata Curvv.ev. With its sloping roofline and futuristic vibes, it’s definitely turning heads. But is it just a pretty face, or does it actually deliver on the road?
We’ve dug through the official specs, expert reviews, and real owner experiences to bring you the ultimate easy guide to the Curvv.ev. Let’s dive in!
1. Looks That Kill (In a Good Way)
First things first—the design is the biggest talking point. It’s India’s first mass-market SUV Coupé, giving you the toughness of an SUV with the sleek elegance of a coupé
- Standout Features: It rocks flush door handles (that pop out), squared wheel arches with piano black cladding, and connected LED tail lamps that do a cool “Goodbye” animation when you lock the car.
- Colors: You can pick from shades like Virtual Sunrise, Pure Grey, and Flame Red.
2. Range: Claimed vs. Reality
This is the big question! The Curvv.ev comes with two battery options: 45 kWh and 55 kWh.
- On Paper: The 55 kWh version claims a whopping 585 km range (ARAI certified).
- The “Real” Truth: Tata’s own “C75” realistic estimate says you should get between 400-425 km on the large battery.
- Expert Tests: In real-world testing, experts managed around 365 km with mixed city and highway driving. A user reported getting about 330 km on the highway while cruising at 120 kmph.
- Charging: It supports super-fast charging. You can juice it up from 10% to 80% in just 40 minutes using a fast DC charger. Plus, the charging port is conveniently located in the front nose.
3. Safety: A 5-Star Fortress
If safety is your priority, Tata doesn’t disappoint. The Curvv.ev has scored a massive 5-Star rating from Bharat NCAP.
- Standard Tech: You get 6 Airbags, ESP, and all-wheel disc brakes across all variants.
- Smart Smarts: The top models come with Level 2 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), including features like Lane Keep Assist and Automatic Emergency Braking. It also has a cool 360-degree 3D surround camera to help you park.
4. Inside the Cabin: Tech & Comfort
The interior feels premium, borrowing a lot from its sibling, the Nexon EV.
- Entertainment: It features a huge 12.3-inch touchscreen by Harman and a JBL Cinematic sound system with 9 speakers and a subwoofer. Experts say it sounds really nice!.
- Cool Features: You get a panoramic sunroof with mood lighting, ventilated front seats (a blessing for Indian summers), and a powered tailgate you can open with a simple kick gesture.
- Storage: There is a 500L boot, which is great for holiday luggage, plus a “frunk” (front trunk) for your charging cables.
5. The “Not-So-Good” Stuff (Real Talk)
No car is perfect. Here is what you need to know before you buy:
- Rear Seat Comfort: Because of that stylish sloping roof, headroom is a bit tight for tall passengers at the back. Also, the floor is high, so you might sit with your knees up.
- Ride Quality: The suspension feels a bit stiff on bad roads, especially on the top model with the larger 18-inch wheels.
- Glitches: Some users and reviewers reported minor issues, like the charging flap getting stuck or inconsistent panel gaps.
- Missing Item: Surprisingly, there are no cupholders in the center console for the front passengers!.
Verdict: Should You Buy It?
If you want a car that looks unique, offers top-tier safety, and is loaded with tech, the Curvv.ev is a fantastic choice. It’s fast (0-100 km/h in 8.6 seconds!) and fun to drive.
However, if you are regularly chauffeuring tall people in the back seat, you might want to test drive it first to check the comfort.
