In the last few years, we have seen that car design in India has become bland-sleek, aerodynamic shapes without a semblance of character. Thankfully, things have begun to change as manufacturers have started to push the car desings, combining daring styling with new thinking. In recent times, we have seen not one but two coupe SUVs that are sure head-turners Mercedes GLC 43 AMG and the Citroen Basalt. Now, it is the turn of the Tata Curvv EV. This all-electric coupe SUV is based on Tata’s new Active EV platform, which, if you might remember, forms the base for the Punch EV.
The Curvv is Tata’s rather bold foray into the hotly contested midsize SUV segment, where some of the more established and favored rivals include the Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos. While the petrol version is in the launch phase, the EV is debuting first, with two battery options-45 and 55 kWh, and in this article, we will take a closer look at the Tata Curvv EV review.

Tata Curvv EV: Design, Build & Practicality
The all-new Curvv EV dares to bring a completely different coupe SUV look to the Indian market in the budget range. While the front feels quite familiar, the stretched rear gives it a rather unique stance. A slightly squatted rear would have made it feel sportier, but overall, the design works without feeling forced.
Quick Highlights:
- Dimensions: 4,310 mm long, 1,810 mm wide, 1,637 mm tall, with a wheelbase of 2,560 mm.
- Colours: 5 vibrant choices (White, Red, Grey, Virtual Sunshine, Empowered Oxide)
- Wheels: 17-inch standard, 18-inch on top trims; low rolling resistance tyres for efficiency.
- Ground Clearance: 190 mm and 186 mm, which is practical for Indian roads.
- Build & Finish: Curv features give a solid feel; however, there are some visible panel gaps, but the paint quality is good.
- Warranty: 3-year standard, extendable to 6 years for peace of mind.
The Tata Curvv EV strikes a perfect balance between style, substance, and practicality, exuding confidence without overdoing it.
Curvv EV Comparison with Segment Rivals
In the midsize electric SUV space, the Curvv EV mainly rivals the MG ZS EV and Mahindra XUV 400. Given the more capable powertrain and modern design, Tata’s pricing feels justified, while the ZS EV is starting to show its age, and the XUV 400 is a smidge less powerful.
Compared to the Nexon EV, the Curv EV price is a Rs. 2-3 lakh premium but provides a sportier coupe SUV design and longer highway-friendly range.
| Model | Price (₹, Ex-Showroom) | Claimed Range (km) |
| Tata Curvv EV 45 kWh | 17.49 – 19.29 L | 330-350 |
| Tata Curvv EV 55 kWh | 19.25 – 21.25 L | 400-425 |
| MG ZS EV | 21.00 – 25.00 L | 419 |
| Mahindra XUV 400 | 14.95 – 17.95 L | 340-375 |
| Tata Nexon EV | 14.95 – 17.95 L | 300-312 |
