Tata Motors has somewhat played their cards right with the prices of the Curvv coupe SUV. The automaker surprised us when the Curvv EV was launched at a very aggressive price of Rs. 17.49 lakh (starting ex-showroom). Now, with the ICE Curvv, the homegrown carmaker has set the tone right with a competitive starting price of Rs. 10 lakh.
The Tata Curvv is being offered in eight variants, namely, Smart, Pure+, Pure+ S, Creative, Creative S, Creative+ S, Accomplished S, and Accomplished+ A. The engine options of the Curvv SUV include a 1.2-litre turbo-petrol, 1.2-litre TGDi Hyperion (new), and a 1.5-litre Kryojet diesel engine. As for the gearbox options, all the engines come mated to a six-speed manual and a seven-speed DCT gearbox.
Listed below are the variant-wise prices ex-showroom prices of the new Tata Curvv:

If we do a little price assessment, the brand’s most popular model, the Nexon, is currently on sale at a starting price of Rs. 8 lakh and Rs. 10 lakh for the petrol and the diesel versions, respectively. Compared to the new Curvv, the Nexon costs Rs. 2 lakh and Rs. 1.5 lakh less for the entry-level variants in petrol and diesel guises, respectively.
So, what does the Tata Curvv have to offer more over the Nexon with a Rs. 2 lakh price jump?
Firstly, the Curvv is a mid-size SUV rival and is bigger in all dimensions when compared to the Tata Nexon. Also, the bootspace of the Curvv is significantly larger than the latter.
