Tata CURVV Seen Overspeeding at 130 km/h on Samruddhi Highway

The electric version of the Tata Curvv will launch on August 7, with the petrol and diesel to follow in around a month’s time.

The Tata Curvv EV was recently spotted high speed testing on the Samruddhi Highway. Curvv will be among the first mass-market coupe SUVs in the country. In fact, that is the main attraction of this body type. People would be drawn to this unique shape which will ensure a distinct road presence. Also, the Indian auto giant wants to enter the highly popular mid-size SUV segment to rival the mighty Hyundai Creta. Hence, the Curvv will be positioned above the Nexon and below the Harrier. Finally, Curvv will be one product which will be available in electric, petrol and diesel versions.

Tata Curvv EV High Speed Testing

This video stems from boby g which showcases a clip of the Coupe SUV performing high speed tests on a highway. This looks like the electric version of the Curvv. In fact, the EV badge at the rear confirms its electric credentials. As per the information in the video, the EV was able to reach a speed of 130+ km/h. It may be noted that this road has a maximum permissible speed of 120 km/h. So, by law, the car was being tested at higher than permissible speeds. On the same time, this speed is quite impressive for an electric vehicle. Generally, EVs are not meant for high speed operations since it depletes the range at a faster rate. Hence, a speed of around 130 km/h should be more than enough and most people would hardly drive it over such speeds. Not to mention, there are hardly any highways in India where speeds over 120 km/h are legal.

Tata Curvv

The Tata Curvv is looking promising in terms of modern tech and convenience features, safety ratings, availability of multiple powertrains and more. In fact, recent reports even mentioned that the safety rating of the Curvv has been leaked and it got 5 stars at the Global and Bharat NCAP. The official confirmation is not out yet. Other top features include:

• Level 2 ADAS Active Safety Package
• Voice Assisted Sunroof with Natural Light Control
• iRA Connected Car Tech Amenities with 55 Features
• 12.3-inch Touchscreen Display by Harman
• Flush-Fitting Door Handles with Welcome Light
• Ventilated Front Seats
• Electronic Parking Brake with Auto Hold
• All Four Disk Brakes
• Powered Tailgate with Gesture Function
• Two-Spoke Steering Wheel with Illuminated Tata Moniker
• Panoramic Sunroof

Moreiover, the buyers will get the ICE versions in three powertrain options – a 1.2-litre turbo petrol, a 1.2-litre direct injection turbo petrol and a 1.5-litre turbo diesel. These engines will pair with either a manual or an automatic transmission. On the other hand, the electric iteration could borrow elements from the Nexon EV including battery packs and electric motors. Hence, buyers will have all sorts of variants to choose from. More details will arrive on August 7.

Our View

I believe Tata Curvv is looking very compelling, especially considering how feature-rich it will be. Also, its demeanour is bound to attract tons of new buyers. Being a Tata car, there won’t be any compromises on safety. Just like many other Tata cars, the Indian carmaker is leveraging the popularity of ICE cars to create EVs. However, Curvv will be the first vehicle which will be built in dedicated ICE and EV iteration from scratch. Let us see how well the customers receive it.
