Transcripts
now this right here is an SUV at this
point that needs no further introduction
it's the Tata curve but today we're
seeing it up close and in the flesh
there are a lot more details on the car
that we know now chief of which is the
price and it starts at
17.49 lakh rupees and goes up to
21.99 lakh rupees now those are
introductory prices the key takeaway
here is that Tata motor says that on
road these prices are comparable to a
petrol automatic comparable midsize SUV
now what do you think about those prices
let us know down in the comments so what
else do we know about the tataa curve EV
well there's the powertrain there are
new batteries 45 KW and 55 KW hour which
our class leading tataa motor says and
they are connected to a 167 horsepower
motor which is 123 Kow Natata motor says
that gives it 52 km of range on the MC
cycle for the 45 KW hour battery and 585
km for the 55 KW hour battery that's a
lot but Tata Motors admits that that is
a lab tested number and in the real
world you get something like 350 km of
range from the smaller battery and 425
from the larger battery and that's
tata's own claim for real world usage
and real world driving conditions what
do you think about that range is it
enough for a midsize SUV let us know
down in the comments now some other
interesting stats this car uses uses the
ACT EV platform that debuted on the
punch EV and that gives it a ground
clearance of 190 mm which is quite
substantial that ground clearance
incidentally tataa motor says gives it a
water weing capability of
450 mm which is quite substantial for
your everyday family SUV and an e no
less and you also get a 500 L boot which
is not something you'd expect from a
sloping Coupe
SUV now of course this sloping Coupe
roof line is what sets this car apart
from every other midsize SUV in the
segment but there are loads of other
interesting design details all over the
car I for one really like the gloss
black treatment for the cladding over
the wheel arches I like the 18-in Aero
efficient alloy wheels I really like
these flush door handles that have a bit
of Illumination to show you where they
are at night
and these metallic Accents in the front
bumper which are very similar to the
Nexon e also this front mounted charging
port which in this car is electrically
actuated and not manually and under here
you'll also
find a bit of a
frunk which can take ideally the
charging
cables also check out this new key it's
got a metallic finish it looks super
classy and it's even got Braille on the
side in case somebody visually impaired
needs to operate the key certainly not
the car up in the front seat things are
a lot like the Nexon e with a few things
borrowed from the haer well like the
steering wheel which has got this extra
two spokes down here that reminds me a
lot of the bigger cars but everything
else is quite similar including the
digital dials over there and I believe
this is the bigger 12in uh touchcreen
over here the rest the dash quite
similar to the Nexon eeve with bit of
hard plastic on the top but some very
interesting textures down here including
contrast stitching now like the Nexon
Eevee the curve Eevee in its top Persona
gets light almost white colored
upholstry which let's see how that lasts
but it looks very neat and spacious and
futuristic similar set CER console
treatment to the Nexon e with all this
gloss black over here touch controls for
a lot of functions and physical controls
nice for the autoclimate control here
you'll also find the rotary dial for the
drive modes and this lovely Mona stable
selector for the gearbox there's a
wireless charger up here and this very
very slim uh cubby hole down here and
once again they've done away with the
cup holders to accommodate this wireless
charger now do you like that choice let
us know down in the comments and what do
you think of the interior of the curv EV
tell us that too
now competing in the ultra competitive
midsize SUV segment means this car has
to be loaded to the guils with features
and the good news is that it is now some
of the highlights include the panoramic
sunroof the big slick touchcreen the
digital dials level 2 a 360° cameras and
my favorite ventilated seats with power
adjust for the drive and with that let's
go check out the back seat now in the
back seat here things are pretty
interesting well for one it's a pretty
high step up off the floor floor into
the cabin and yes it's very noticeably a
raised floor thanks to the battery
underneath your sat quite knees up and
knee room although I've not really set
things to my own uh preferences seems
decent but not amazing Headroom 2 is
decent they've scooped it out as much as
they could and yeah you do get a
surprising amount of room considering
this is a coupe SUV it's a similar story
with the sunroof which although isn't a
fully panoramic one it can't come all
the way back as this is a coupe SUV it
is at least a dual pain Sun roof that
lets in quite a decent amount of light
and I also got to commend them for
making pretty large windows again by
Coupe SUV standards so you don't feel
hemmed in you don't feel too cool
prepped in the back here I also like
these seats which are nice and plush and
comfy very very well cushioned and yeah
though it might not be quite as spacious
and practical as some proper midsize
SUVs it does a pretty good job of
getting things done on the equipment
front yeah you do get your AC vents no
blower control unfortunately and the is
a 45w USB type-c charger back here so
that's everything you needed to know
about the Tata curve EV but they also
show the Tata curve IC which is just
over there so let's go check it out so
here we are with the Tata curve IC and
the big news is under the hood where
there are set of new engines it starts
with a 1.2 which is called the Hyperion
it's a turbocharged gasoline direct
injection engine and it makes a solid
125 horsepower and 225 Newton M of
torque which can go up to 250 50 in
short bursts that's really interesting
because it also comes made into a manual
gearbox or a dual clutch automatic the
other engine is the 1.5 diesel which is
called the cryotech which makes 118
horsepower and 260 newm of torque what's
also interesting is that one too will be
made it to a dual clutch automatic now
would you be interested in testing out
that dual clutch automatic we sure are
stay tuned for our review which will
come in a little while now exterior
differences between the IC curve and the
curve EV are restricted to Colors the
fact that this one has 28 mm of ground
clearance as opposed to 190 in the EV
and these wheels which look a little bit
more rugged than the ones you get on the
EV now on the inside the top trims get
this lovely red sort of burgundy uphol
Street shade but that's about it now
prices for the IC Curve will be
announced on September 2nd where do you
think it should be priced let us know
down in the comments and are you excited
for the curve IC and the curve EV tell
us in the comments and let us know what
you expect
