Tata Motors has introduced a new electric vehicle concept -- Curvv -- this afternoon. The Curvv EV concept, whose dimensions remain unknown, could possibly serve as the long-range version of the Tata Nexon EV.
Like the Nexon EV, the Curvv features a sloping roofline and coupé-like design, although that’s where the similarities end.
Curvv EV will be placed above the Nexon, making it the first mid-size electric SUV in Tata Motors’ EV portfolio. The production version is scheduled to be launched in 2024.
Shares of Tata Motors will be in focus with the new launch. They have been solid in April, rallying six percent in three days on the back of robust sales volumes.

New promise, new design, new ‘thought’ put together in Curvv, says Shailesh Chandra, managing director of Tata Motors passenger vehicles limited
"With the concept Curvv, we now enter the Generation 2 EV architecture which will further enhance the adoption of EVs in India by overcoming the current barriers" Chandra adds. "With this new architecture, we will strengthen the key pillars of Range, Performance and Technology, while retaining Safety and Reliability as hygiene offerings.”
CURVV merges the durability of SUVs with sporty silhouettes of a Coupe, says Tata Motors
"The exterior design has a charismatic presence with a raised ride height, tough cladding and dynamic proportions," Tata Motors says. "The large offset of the front and rear fenders gives a sense of power on the wheels. This, along with the strong section through the cladding help set up a solid and balanced stance."
Curvv, an SUV with a futuristic design
Tata Motors' Curvv is being touted as an SUV with a futuristic design and "exhilarating performance".
Curvv will arrive in all-electric form before being launched with an internal combustion powertrain.
