Tata Curvv: Design
The Tata Curvv closely resembles the concept that was first unveiled in 2022. The SUV coupe utilizes the new design philosophy found in most Tata vehicles, including the facelifted Nexon and Harrier models. A sophisticated LED light bar adorns the front with split headlights and striking LED taillights. This model also gets door handles, an LED light bar connecting the taillights and new alloy wheels. The big difference is the rear roofline and the slope of the rear grille, which give the SUV a notchback style.
Thanks to the increased ride height and additional cladding on the sides, the Curvv offers a sleek yet elegant look. The high distance from the ground also ensures a balanced posture. The SUV coupe is available in two new colors: Virtual Sunrise for the Curvv EV and Gold Essence for the Curvv ICE.

The first Curvv electric vehicles are expected to come onto the market as early as next month, with ICE models expected to come onto the market in early 2025.
