Exterior Design & Road Presence
One of the highlights of the Curvv EV is its SUV-coupé styling. It gives this SUV a more premium and sporty look than more upright crossovers.
Front-end features linked LED DRLs, vertically stacked headlamps, and a closed EV grille while flush door handles and aerodynamic alloy wheels complete the futuristic vibe. The connected LED light bar and integrated spoiler make the rear of the Curvv EV road presence.
For buyers looking for something more modern than traditional SUVs like the Hyundai Creta or Kia Seltos, the Curvv EV offers a fresher and more futuristic option.
Battery, Performance & Real-World Range
Tata Motors has completely streamlined the Curvv EV lineup, discontinuing the smaller 45 kWh battery pack to offer the 55 kWh battery pack exclusively as standard.
The bigger 55 kWh one is the one to go for when urban dwellers take to the highway or venture far. Traffic, driving style and air-conditioning use have a much bigger impact on real-world range.
Battery, Claimed & Real-World Range
- Standard Battery: 55 kWh
- Claimed Range: Up to 585 km (MIDC / WLTP)
- Real-World Range: 380–420 km (depending on road conditions and driving behavior)
Performance
- Power Output: ~165–167 bhp
- Driving Experience: Strong, instant electric acceleration optimized for effortless highway cruising and city overtaking.
- Urban traffic and overtakes also feel quick off the line.
- Drivers can select throttle response modes via Eco, City and Sport drives.
- The suspension setup too is easy-going — works with the pothole-ridden road conditions of our country.
Charging & Ownership Experience
- The Curvv EV has charging flexibility as one of its strong points.
| Charging Type | Charging Time |
| 70kW DC Fast Charger | 10–80% in ~40 mins |

Overnight home charging is going to be enough for 99% of owners
- The Curvv EV also supports:

- There are also traditional SUVs that have a wider rear view.
Safety & ADAS Features

- The Curvv electric SUV scored a 5-star Bharat NCAP rating for safety
Safety Features:
- 6 airbags
