Tata CURVV
Tata Motors is set to introduce a brand-new SUV to its lineup named CURVV, unveiled at the Auto Expo 2023. Measuring approximately 4.3 metres, it directly competes with the Hyundai Creta and intriguingly fills the space between the Nexon and Harrier SUVs. With its SUV-coupe silhouette, CURVV aims to captivate with its appealing design. The SUV will offer various powertrain options, including a new 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine and an electric version that incorporates technology from the popular Nexon EV. Anticipated to feature a modern design, the interior could boast the latest technology, convenience features, and connectivity options.

Mahindra Coupe XUV
There have been a few instances where a coupe version of a Mahindra SUV has been spotted testing. It could be based on the same platform as the XUV300, which in turn uses the platform from SsangYong Tivoli. While there are not a whole lot of reports and information around it, the SUV could borrow powertrain options from the XUV300 too. It will sit under the XUV700. As is the case with most Mahindra SUVs, we can expect the latest tech, convenience, safety and performance features to rival the mighty Creta. It could make its debut in 2024.

With a length of 4,343 mm, the new Duster surpasses its well-known predecessor in size and boasts a 2,657 mm wheelbase, ensuring a commanding presence on the road. The international market will offer multiple engine options, and we’ll have to await confirmation on which engines will be featured in the Indian-spec model.
