Tata Motors is set to make its debut in the mid-size SUV segment with the introduction of the Curvv ICE on September 2. This Coupe SUV is built on the brand-new ATLAS platform, similar to its electric counterpart. The Curvv will compete with the likes of Hyundai Creta, Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, Kia Seltos, Toyota Hyryder, Skoda Kushaq, and Volkswagen Taigun.
Tata Curvv: Engine options
The Curv will be offered with three engine options: the brand-new 1.2-litre TGDI turbo petrol, the 1.2-litre turbo petrol, and the 1.5-litre diesel, with the latter two being shared with the Nexon. The new 1.2-litre engine delivers 123 bhp and 225 Nm of torque, the 1.2-litre petrol generates 118 bhp and 170 Nm, and the diesel offers 116 bhp and 260 Nm. Each engine can be coupled with either a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, a debut feature for the diesel variant.
Tata Curvv: Variants
The Curvv comes in mainly four variants: Smart, Pure, Creative, and Accomplished, each with its own set of options. This coupe SUV is available in six colour schemes: Gold Essence, Flame Red, Pristine White, Pure Grey, Daytona Grey, and Opera Blue.
