Tata Cruvv EV

With its aggressive design, modern interior, and impressive technical specifications, the Tata Curvv EV has what it takes to make many manufacturers tremble.

Thinking that the shift to electric vehicles is a phenomenon confined to Europe or China is a serious mistake. Of course, there is the star Tesla, which has reshuffled the cards in the automotive market from the land of Uncle Sam, but there is above all the Indian manufacturer Tata, which once again proves this with its latest high-end SUV.

Tata Motors is boldly entering one of the most competitive segments of the automotive market today by launching a fully electric coupe SUV measuring 4.3 meters. Here is the Tata Curvv EV, a testament to the expertise of India’s leading electric vehicle manufacturer. The model features a sporty and elegant design, a spacious interior, and most importantly, a technical specification that stands out. And what can be said about its pricing…

The Curvv EV offers two battery variants. The 55 kWh version delivers 166 hp, while the 45 kWh variant is limited to 148 hp. However, both produce the same torque of 215 Nm thanks to the instant torque characteristic of electric drivetrains. Both can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in under 9 seconds and claim interesting ranges in Indian standards, with 585 km for the 55 kWh and 502 km for the 45 kWh. Out of humility, Tata acknowledges that these figures will be reduced once subjected to WLTP testing but will remain close to 400 km, which is quite sufficient. This is a refreshing stance at a time when exaggeration is rampant. On the other hand, it will be limited to 70 kW for fast charging, which is the real weakness of the model. It’s more of a Daily than a model ready to tackle a Paris-Delhi journey, in short.

In terms of equipment, it is absolutely complete! Adaptive LED lighting, 18-inch wheels, and an electric tailgate come as standard. The trunk has a capacity of 500 liters and is complemented by a small 12-liter frunk. Inside, once you overlook the ugly plastic imitation carbon fiber, you find two screens of 10.25 and 12.3 inches, heated and ventilated electric seats, a panoramic sunroof, a JBL audio system, an induction charger, and of course, wireless connectivity for Apple and Android. As a little touch of luxury, Tata has equipped the steering wheel with a touchscreen!

Let’s talk about pricing. The Tata Curvv EV is offered at a starting price of 19,000 euros for the 45 kWh version and 23,500 euros for the 55 kWh version. A lucky break for European manufacturers, it is currently only aiming for the top spot in its vast home market in India. But imagine if Tata decides to try its luck in Europe? The manufacturer is seriously considering this for 2026.
