Here is everything you need to know about the Tata Curvv EV.
- Tata Curvv EV offers two battery options – 45Wh and 55kWh

Tata Curvv EV: Design
The Tata Curvv EV is 4,310 mm long, 1,810 mm wide, and 1,637 mm tall. Moreover, it has a 2,560 mm long wheelbase, a massive 500-litre boot space, and a 11.6-litre frunk. The overall design of the Curvv EV doesn’t differ much from the ICE Curvv, as the EV version gets a closed-off ‘grille’, a charging port at the front (under the Tata logo), and vertical stripes on the front bumper.
More on the front, it features a connected DRL strip which is in line with other Tata cars, and vertical headlights. Along with sleek front fascia, the Curvv EV has a unique coupe-like roofline and the side profile highlights the all-new 18-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, door-mounted wing mirrors, and flush door handles making it the first Tata car to feature such a door-handle setup. At the back, an LED bar runs across the width alongside a piano-black slat. Moreover, the chunky bumper gets a piano black finish and houses additional reflectors.
Tata Curvv EV: Interior & Features
On the inside, the Curvv EV gets a dual-tone white and grey theme and layered dashboard which seems to be borrowed from the Tata Nexon. A free-standing 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system takes centre stage, with the trapezoidal AC vents and touch-based climate control panel below. The four-spoke steering wheel is like the one on the Tata Harrier and behind it are the paddle shifters for regen modes. The centre console features a rotary drive selector, a wireless charger, and a gear lever. Like the Nexon EV, the Curvv EV comes with customisable single-pedal drive which allows the driver to accelerate and decelerate using only accelerator pedal, adding more convenience.
In the feature department, the Curvv EV offers a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, a cooled glove box, leatherette upholstery, ventilated six-way powered front seats, a panoramic sunroof, powered tailgate with gesture control, a two-step rear seat recline function, a 9-speaker JBL sound system, an Arcade.ev app suite, and more.
Safety features include 6 airbags, driver doze-off alert, all-wheel disc brakes, electric parking brake with auto hold, electronic stability control, and camera & sensor-based reverse park assist as standard. Higher up the trims, the Curvv EV offers a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), a blind-spot monitor, a 360-degree camera, and Level 2 advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) which consists of adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, high-beam assist, and autonomous emergency braking.

The Curvv EV offers two battery packs: a 45kWh battery for the Creative, Accomplished and Accomplished+ S variants, and a 55kWh battery for the Accomplished, Accomplished+ S, Empowered+, and Empowered+ A variants.
