Tata Curvv Latest Spy Shots
Leaked spy shots have surfaced online, providing enthusiasts with a sneak peek into the exteriors and interiors of the upcoming Tata SUV. The Tata Curvv represents the company’s foray into the compact SUV segment. Curvv draws inspiration from Tata’s successful models such as the Nexon, Punch, Harrier, and Safari. The Curvv EV contributes to Tata’s expanding electric vehicle portfolio, joining the ranks of the Tigor, Tiago, Altroz, and Nexon EVs, along with the recently launched Punch EV.

Sporting a coupe-style roofline, robust wheel arches, flush door handles, and piano black cladding, the Curvv rides on striking 18-inch alloy wheels.
