    Tata Motors has finally revealed the exterior of its Curvv coupe SUV’s production version. The company showcased the Curvv first as an electric concept in April 2022 and then in its ICE form in January 2023. While it has yet to reveal the Curvv’s interior, we got a peek inside via a VR display.

    Tata Curvv production version: how it differs from the concept?

    As expected, only a few details have changed. For instance, the EV’s exterior cameras make way for regular outside rear-view mirrors, the daytime running lamps don’t extend into the bonnet, and the split rear spoiler is now a single, smaller unit.Tata Curvv EV rear

    The Curvv EV's rear (pictued here) is nearly identical to that of the ICE version.

    From the front, the Curvv looks very similar to the Nexon, on which it is based. There are a few differences between the ICE and the EV versions. The electric Curvv has a nose-mounted charging flap akin to the Tata Punch EV, and the lower bumper area has multiple vertical styling elements. The ICE version has smaller horizontal elements on the lower bumper and grille area. Both versions have triangular recesses for the headlights. The DRL unit stretches across the car’s width.

    But from the side, the Curvv looks quite different from the Nexon. It is clearly longer, and the coupe roofline slopes down sharply. The wheel arches are squarish or ‘squircle’ in shape. The ICE version carries a fuel filler flap on the left rear fender and sports petal-like 5-spoke alloys. The EV has a more closed-off alloy rim for better aero efficiency. Both cars have pop-out flush door handles and feature prominent black cladding below.

    On the back, both versions have a rooftop-mounted spoiler; while it is a single-piece unit, it dips in the centre, mimicking the spilt spoiler from the concept. The tail-light unit stretches across the rear, above the Tata logo. The lower bumper section is finished in silver trim; in the ICE version, the exhaust is hidden below.

    While Tata Motors has yet to show the Curvv’s interior, it allowed us a small peak at what the final production version would look like via an interactive VR headset at its UK design studio. Pretty much everything carries over from the Nexon, such as the two-spoke steering wheel with the illuminated logo, the floating touchscreen and the touch-panel controls. But the Curvv will get different colour schemes, according to the company. We saw that the dashboard trim panel was finished in a nice metallic silver carbon-fibre weave, with the lower leather section done in a rich maroon colour.

    Tata Curvv expected price

    Tata Motors will launch the electric Curvv first, likely on August 7, and will follow up with the petrol and diesel versions. While the Curvv’s body style makes it a niche offering, Tata Motors said the coupe SUV’s pricing, powertrain choices and many variants will ensure it takes on all competitors in the midsize SUV segment. The company said it is aiming to become a major segment player with the Curvv, much like it did with the Punch and Nexon.
