The upcoming Curvv EV will be Tata Motors’ fifth electric offering in the mass segment and the second one in the highly contested midsize SUV space. The company is looking to differentiate the Curvv EV not only with its coupe-like design but also with a feature-loaded cabin. A recently leaked brochure has revealed all the equipment that the Curvv EV will have. Let’s take a close look at how it compares against rivals.
- Curvv EV to share its interior with Nexon EV
- Gets segment-first powered tail gate with gesture control
- Other highlights include 12.3-inch touchscreen, ADAS suite
The Curvv EV’s closest competitor in this segment will be the MG ZS EV; lower variants will also have a price overlap with the Mahindra XUV400.
Tata Curvv EV equipment highlights
The Curvv EV shares its interior with the Nexon EV, and naturally, a lot of features have been carried over, too. These include a 12.3-inch infotainment screen with the Arcade.ev app suite, a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, ventilated seats in front, a JBL sound system, a 360-degree camera, a wireless charger, smartphone integration and a touch-based HVAC panel.
The model’s top-spec variants will also offer a powered tail gate with gesture control, a panoramic sunroof with ambient lighting, flush door handles, vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-load (V2L) charging capabilities, powered front seats and an ADAS suite.
Tata Curvv EV features vs Mahindra XUV400
Compared to the XUV400, the Curvv EV will additionally get front and rear LED connecting light bars with welcome and goodbye animation that also doubles up as a charging indicator, projector LED headlamps, sequential turn indicators, larger 18-inch alloy wheels, ambient lighting, the panoramic sunroof, map view on the digital instrument cluster, powered and ventilated front seats, recline function for the rear seats, the powered tail gate and the ADAS suite.
The XUV400 also misses out on the Curvv EV’s V2V and V2L capabilities along with paddle shifters for regenerative braking. Prices for the XUV400 currently range between Rs 15.49 lakh to Rs 19.39 lakh (ex-showroom). Given all these extras, the Curvv EV is likely to have a more premium positioning than the XUV400.
Tata Curvv EV features vs MG ZS EV
The MG ZS EV sits a segment above the XUV400, but still there are notable misses compared to the Curvv EV. The ZS EV gets projector LED headlamps and LED tail lights, but not the LED connecting light bar with animations. Similarly, while it does get a powered driver’s seat, it misses out on the ventilation function. Other misses include ambient lighting, sequential indicators, the powered tail gate, and recline function for the rear seats. Lastly, while the ZS EV does offer an ADAS suite, it misses out features like lane following assist and rear collision warning.
Prices for the ZS EV currently range between Rs 18.98 lakh to Rs 25.44 lakh (ex-showroom), which is roughly the same ballpark we expect the Curvv EV to be priced at. Prices for the Curvv EV are slated to be announced on August 7 along with its petrol and diesel variants.
