The Tata Curvv EV is India’s
first mass market coupe SUV
and it has been a sales success
since its launch. The 2026
Series X update brings new
variants improved features and
a lifetime battery warranty
making it even more compelling.
Here is our complete review.
What Makes The Curvv EV Special
The Curvv EV occupies a unique
position in India’s EV market.
It is larger than the Nexon EV
with a more premium coupe SUV
design while being significantly
more affordable than the
Mahindra BE 6. It fills a gap
in the market that previously
did not exist — a stylish
coupe SUV EV under ₹22 lakh.
Design — India’s Most Striking EV
The Curvv EV has the most
striking design of any electric
SUV under ₹25 lakh in India.
The sloping coupe roofline
flush illuminated door handles
full width LED light bars at
front and rear and 18 inch
aero wheels give it a genuinely
premium futuristic look.
Five colour options including
the distinctive Virtual Sunrise
and the premium Nitro Crimson
make it one of the most
visually interesting cars
available in India at any price.
The 2026 Series X Update
On May 4 2026 Tata launched
the Curvv EV Series X update
bringing new Accomplished X
and Empowered X variants.
The Series X adds dual zone
climate control ventilated
rear seats rear window sunshades
cup holders in the rear armrest
and new interior materials and
colour options. These updates
significantly improve the rear
seat experience making the
Curvv EV more suitable for
family use.
Battery and Range
The Curvv EV is available with
two battery options. The 45kWh
pack delivers 430km claimed
range and the 55kWh pack
delivers 502km claimed range.
In real world testing the
55kWh variant delivers
approximately 345km in mixed
driving conditions — honest
and usable for most Indian
buyers doing under 150km
daily.
The 55kWh motor produces
165bhp and 215Nm of torque
delivering smooth effortless
performance in city and
highway conditions. Three
drive modes — Eco City and
Sport — allow you to balance
range and performance based
on your needs.
Interior and Features
The Curvv EV’s cabin is
genuinely premium at its
price point. The 12.3 inch
floating touchscreen 10.25
inch digital driver display
9 speaker JBL sound system
voice assisted panoramic
sunroof powered driver seat
360 degree camera and Level
2 ADAS make it feature loaded.
The powered tailgate with
gesture control is a premium
touch rarely seen at this
price point. The 500 litre
boot is class leading for
a coupe SUV — genuinely
practical despite the sloping
roofline.
Safety — 5 Star Bharat NCAP
The Curvv EV has received
5 star Bharat NCAP safety
ratings with the rating
extended to 6 new variants
in April 2026. Tata has
also introduced a lifetime
battery warranty for the
Curvv EV — a significant
ownership reassurance that
no other EV brand in India
currently offers.
Charging
The Curvv EV supports 7.2kW
AC home charging and 50kW
DC fast charging. A 10 to
80 percent DC charge takes
approximately 58 minutes.
Home charging on a standard
15A socket takes approximately
8.5 hours overnight —
convenient for daily top ups.
Price and Current Offers
The Tata Curvv EV Series X
starts at ₹16.99 lakh for
the Accomplished X 55 variant
going up to ₹19.49 lakh for
the Empowered X 55 Dark
Edition. Tata has been offering
benefits of up to ₹3.45 lakh
in recent months making the
effective price significantly
lower than the list price.
Curvv EV vs Rivals
Against the MG Windsor EV
at ₹14 lakh the Curvv EV
wins on design safety ratings
and Tata’s larger service
network. Against the Mahindra
BE 6 starting at ₹18.90 lakh
the Curvv EV wins on price
while the BE 6 wins on range
and performance. The Curvv EV
occupies the sweet spot
between value and premium
in India’s EV segment.
Who Should Buy The Curvv EV
The Curvv EV is perfect for
buyers who want India’s most
stylish EV under ₹22 lakh
young professionals wanting
to stand out on Indian roads
buyers who want a larger more
premium EV than the Nexon EV
and buyers who want Tata’s

most stylish electric SUV
under ₹22 lakh and the 2026
Series X update makes it
more complete than ever. The
lifetime battery warranty

ownership case. If you want
