Tata have launched the 2026 Curvv Series X with a simpler variant lineup and several features moved further down the range. We got a closer look at the new Curvv Series X, including the Pure X Plus and Creative X Plus variants. In this detailed photo gallery, we take you through their exterior differences, interior, features, rear-seat space and the construction of Tata’s R-Comfort seats.

The overall exterior design of the Curvv has not changed with Series X. However, the equipment and styling differ depending on the variant. Most of the red Curvv pictured below is the Creative X Plus, while the white car is the Pure X Plus.

The Curvv retains its familiar coupe-SUV shape, slim LED DRLs positioned high on the front fascia, vertically positioned headlamps and gloss-black cladding. The Creative X Plus pictured here is finished in red (Nitro Crimson) with a contrasting black roof.

The sloping roofline leads into the raised rear deck and connected LED tail lamps. Gloss-black elements around the tail lamps, bumper and wheel arches contrast with the red exterior.

The Pure X Plus shown here gets a body-coloured roof, while the Creative X Plus adds a contrasting black roof. The dual-tone treatment is one of the visual upgrades offered with the Creative X Plus.

The Creative X Plus gets 18-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels. Tata have also done away with the plain steel wheels and conventional wheel covers offered on lower variants of the outgoing Curvv. The base Smart X now gets 17-inch Aero Style wheels, while the Pure X Plus gets 17-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels.
The Curvv Series X retains the slim LED DRLs positioned at the top of the front fascia, while the main headlamps sit lower down in the bumper.

The Creative X Plus gets LED fog lamps with a cornering function. These sit in the vertically stacked lighting assembly below the DRLs.

Flush-fitting door handles remain part of the Curvv’s exterior design. The handles also feature welcome lights.

A panoramic sunroof is another major feature added with the Creative X Plus variant.
The Creative X Plus adds a 360-degree surround-view camera, blind-view monitor and front parking sensors over the Pure X Plus.

The front camera is positioned centrally below the Tata logo and forms part of the Creative X Plus' 360-degree camera system.

Additional cameras are mounted underneath the outside rear-view mirrors. Besides generating the surround-view image, the camera system supports the Curvv’s blind-view monitor.

The Creative X Plus also gets front parking sensors to supplement the camera system when manoeuvring in tight spaces.
The rear camera is positioned just below the Tata logo on the tailgate. Together with the front and ORVM cameras, it provides the Creative X Plus with a complete view around the car.
The Series X gets a much lighter cabin treatment in the Pure X Plus and Creative X Plus pictured here. Both use white (Oyster White) leatherette upholstery along with a light grey interior theme.

The light upholstery changes the look of the Curvv's cabin considerably compared with a conventional all-black interior. The seats feature perforated centre sections, while the dashboard and door trims combine light and dark finishes.

The dashboard retains the horizontal layout of the Curvv, with a freestanding touchscreen, slim central AC vents and a touch-based climate-control panel. The Creative X Plus shown here also gets the larger digital instrument cluster.

A 10.25-inch touchscreen is available from the Pure X variant onwards. It supports wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay and is paired with 4 speakers and 2 tweeters.

The Creative X Plus adds a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster alongside the 10.25-inch touchscreen, giving it a twin-screen layout. The Pure X Plus gets the same touchscreen but not this larger digital instrument cluster.

The digital instrument cluster can display vehicle information including individual tyre pressures, driving information and navigation data.

Navigation information can also be displayed in the instrument cluster when a compatible smartphone is connected through Android Auto or Apple CarPlay.

The Curvv gets a 4-spoke illuminated steering wheel with controls for functions such as audio, calls, cruise control and the instrument display.

The Curvv’s so-called panoramic sunroof does not extend as far back as many conventional panoramic units. The glass section ends ahead of the rear passengers’ heads, leaving a solid roof section above them. This should help preserve rear headroom despite the Curvv’s sloping roofline.

The Creative X Plus gets moulded door trims with leatherette inserts as well as chrome inner door handles. The combination follows the light-coloured treatment used elsewhere in the cabin.
Tata have now revealed more detail about the engineering behind the Curvv’s rear-seat space. The front seatbacks are 10mm slimmer, while the rear seat is positioned 20mm further back and 10mm lower.

The rear bench uses the same white (Oyster White) leatherette upholstery. Rear AC vents and a centre armrest with cupholders are available with the Pure X Plus pictured here.

The Pure X Plus shown here gives us a better idea of the rear-seat packaging. Moving the bench rearwards and using slimmer front seatbacks has freed up additional knee room.

This closer view shows the knee room available behind the front seat. Jagdev is 5ft 8in tall, and the driver’s seat is set to his comfortable driving position for reference.

Despite the Curvv’s sloping roofline, the rear seat is positioned 10mm lower to help preserve headroom. For reference, Jagdev is 5ft 8in tall and is seated upright in the rear in this image.

The Creative X Plus goes a step further with a reclining rear-seat backrest. It also gets a 60:40 split-folding rear seat.
One of the more interesting displays at Tata's Series X showcase was a cutaway of the Curvv's R-Comfort rear seat. The feature itself is not new to the Curvv, but the display gives us a rare look underneath the upholstery.

One side of the seat is fully upholstered while the other has been left exposed, making it possible to see the construction of the backrest and seat base underneath.

The cutaway display gives us a clear look at how the Curvv’s R-Comfort seats achieve passive ventilation without fans or powered cooling. Under the perforated seat upholstery is a moulded foam structure with a network of recessed channels across the seat base and backrest.
Each outer rear seat has 2 air openings in the backrest and 2 in the seat base. Together with the perforations in the upholstery, these openings allow fresh air to enter the seat. As the passenger naturally shifts and moves while the car is in motion, the foam is compressed and released, helping draw air in and distribute it through the channels beneath the seat surface.

Tata claim the system can reduce the seat temperature by up to 5 degrees Celsius. The figure was measured in a climate-controlled test using thermal imaging, so it should not be interpreted as a guaranteed 5-degree reduction in every real-world condition.

The Curvv offers a 500-litre boot. Tata say moving the rear-seat base 20mm backwards has not reduced luggage capacity because the rear seatback foam has been made slimmer. The Creative X Plus also gets a 60:40 split-folding rear seat. However, it does not get a parcel tray despite starting at Rs. 12.91 lakh.
