Who Is This Car For
In short: The Curvv EV is a 5-seater electric coupe-SUV (5 doors) with FWD (front-motor, front-wheel drive) layout. It offers the choice of two battery packs (45 kWh and 55 kWh) and is designed to provide strong value in the Indian EV market with long range, modern styling, advanced features (including Level 2 ADAS in higher variants) and competitive pricing.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Long claimed range for its segment (up to around 585 km ARAI in the larger battery option), which is very good in its class.
- Strong feature-content: big infotainment screen, wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, advanced driver assistance features.
- Attractive styling: sporty coupe cross-SUV look differentiates it from more conventional SUVs.
- Backed by Tata’s EV ecosystem and brand recognition in India.
Cons
- As with many EVs in India, real-world range will be significantly lower than the ARAI claims, especially in high usage or less ideal conditions.
- Charging infrastructure constraints (depending on the region) may limit the advantage of the higher range.
- Sloping roofline (coupe style) may compromise rear headroom or practicality somewhat compared with more upright SUVs.
- The FWD single-motor may not deliver all-wheel drive capability (which some competitors might offer).
Cruising Down The History
- The Curvv nameplate was previewed as a concept in April 2022
- The production version (including the EV variant) was launched in India in August 2024.
- The Curvv EV uses Tata’s Gen-2 EV platform (acti.ev architecture) and is one of the more recent EV launches from Tata.
- It has already received attention for its safety credentials (5-star ratings in Bharat NCAP for the base Curvv/Curvv EV in India), according to Wikipedia.

Buy Or Bye Bye!
If you’re considering buying:
- Ensure you check the specific variant (battery size, features) as many features are variant-dependent.
- Check the local charging infrastructure in your region (for home charging + public DC fast charging) to make full use of the range.
- Real-world range will likely be less than the ARAI claimed numbers, so plan accordingly.
- Review after-sales support and service network in your city.
- Consider the total cost of ownership (including battery degradation, charging cost, incentives, and resale).
