The Curvv EVas we’ve reported before, will go on sale first and as many as 12,000 units a year are expected to be built. The remaining 36,000 units will be the ICE-powered Curvv units. The Curvv will roll out from Tata Motors’ Ranjangaon plant, which also manufactures the Nexon.

The Curvv EV is expected to get a range of 400-500km and a dual motor set-up with all-wheel drive. Meanwhile, the petrol version will follow with the 125hp, 225Nm, 1.2-litre direct-injection turbo-petrol engine that was showcased at the Auto Expo 2023. The petrol version will be offered with both manual and automatic gearboxes. There are talks also about a CNG powertrain joining the line-up at some point.

Upon launch, the Curvv SUV coupe will enter the populated midsize SUV segment and rival the likes of the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Honda Elevate, Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, Toyota Hirer, Skoda Kushaq, Volkswagen Taigun and MG Astor. Additionally, it will also take on the Citroen C3X that will go on sale sometime next year.
