At the unveiling of the Tata Curvv Concept EV,, the Indian carmaker confirmed that the SUV won’t get any hybrid powertrain. Instead, the Curvv will get an electric drivetrain and either a petrol or a diesel engine option in the future. In addition to that, the teaser video of the Curvv concept revealed the possibility of a CNG powertrain as well thanks to the CNG button on the centre console.

Tata Motors are rumoured to be working on petrol-powered versions of the Harrier and Safari. We can expect the same powertrain to be featured in the production-spec Curvv coupe SUV as well. However, the Curvv will be launched as an EV first, before getting the ICE powertrain.

Talking about the design of the Curvv concept, it sports a sleek silhouette with a coupe roofline. Tata Motors’ head of global design, Mr. Martin Uhlarik, said that Concept Curvv’s body panels and wheels are designed to optimise aerodynamics. In addition to that, a few design elements, like the full-width LED DRL upfront, will boil down to future offerings from Tata Motors as well.

Tata Motors haven’t announced any launch timeline for the Concept Curvv yet, but the carmaker aims to launch the SUV within two years. Hence, we can expect the Concept Curvv to hit production in 2024, followed by the launch of several variants with internal combustion engines. Tata Motors also revealed that they aim to launch 10 electric vehicles within 5 years. In fact, Tata are well on track to achieve the target. These 10 electric models will include the current gen-1 models, gen-2 models boasting both electric and ICE drivetrains, and the all-electric gen-3 models.
