Tata Motors previewed the Curvv for the first time in a concept form a couple of years ago and again at the 2023 Auto Expo. The coupe SUV is slated to launch this year, most probably around the upcoming festive season. Like Punch and Nexon, the Curvv will be offered in both combustion and fully electric derivatives.
Test mules of the crossover have been spied on numerous occasions over the last one year or so. The coupe SUV has been spotted testing once again, this time the spy shots revealing more details about it.

Tata Curvv spied: Expected powertrain specs
The EV version of Curvv is expected to get both single- and dual-motor setups. The former will get a front-wheel drive layout while the latter will get an all-wheel drive configuration.

Out of the two test mules spotted in the latest spy images, at least one of them is an ICE derivative with an combustion engine under its hood.

This motor can push out 123 bhp and 225 Nm of peak torque. In addition, Tata will also offer the 1.5-litre diesel mill from the Nexon in the Curvv, producing 114 bhp and 260 Nm of peak torque.
