Tata Curvv EV features vs rivals

The upcoming Tata Curvv EV will be the brand’s fifth electric offering in the mass segments and only the second in highly contested midsize SUV segment. Tata is looking to not only differentiate the Curvv EV with its coupe-like design, but also with a feature loaded cabin. A recently leaked brochure has revealed all equipment that’ll be offered on the Curvv EV, and here, we are taking a close look at how compares against rivals.

  1. Curvv EV to share its interior with Nexon EV
  2. Gets segment-first powered tail gate with gesture control
  3. Other highlights include 12.3-inch touchscreen, ADAS suite

The Curvv EV’s closest competitor in this segment will be the MG ZS EV; lower variants will also have a price overlap with the Mahindra XUV400.  

Tata Curvv EV equipment highlights

The Curvv EV shares its interior with the Nexon EV, and naturally, a lot of features have been carried over too. Things like the 12.3-inch infotainment screen with the Arcade.ev app suite, the 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, front ventilated seats, a JBL sound system, 360-degree camera, wireless charger and smartphone integration and the touch-based HVAC panel are shared with the Nexon EV.

A recent promotional film gave us a first look at the Curvv EV's interior.

Top-spec variants of the Curvv EV will additionally offer a powered tail gate with gesture control, a panoramic sunroof with ambient lighting, flush door handles, vehicle to vehicle (V2V) and vehicle to load (V2L) charging capabilities, powered driver’s and passenger seats and an ADAS suite.

Tata Curvv EV features vs Mahindra XUV400

Compared to the XUV400, the Curvv EV will additionally get front and rear LED connecting light bars with welcome and goodbye animation that also doubles up as a charging indicator, projector LED headlamps, sequential turn indicators, larger 18-inch alloy wheels, ambient lighting, the panoramic sunroof, map view on the digital instrument cluster, powered and ventilated front seats, recline function for the rear seats, the powered tail gate and the ADAS suite.

The XUV400 also misses out on the Curvv EV’s V2V and V2L capabilities along with paddle shifters for regenerative braking. Prices for the XUV400 currently range between Rs 15.49 lakh to Rs 19.39 lakh (ex-showroom). Given all these extras, the Curvv EV is likely to have a more premium positioning than the XUV400.

The Curvv EV is likely to be closer to the ZS EV in terms of price than the XUV400.
 

Tata Curvv EV features vs MG ZS EV

The MG ZS EV sits a segment above the XUV400, but still there are notable misses compared to the Curvv EV. The ZS EV gets projector LED headlamps and LED tail lights, but not the LED connecting light bar with animations. Similarly, while it does get a powered driver’s seat, it misses out on the ventilation function. Other misses include ambient lighting, sequential indicators, the powered tail gate, and recline function for the rear seats. Lastly, while the ZS EV does offer an ADAS suite, it misses out features like lane following assist and rear collision warning.

Prices for the ZS EV currently range between Rs 18.98 lakh to Rs 25.44 lakh (ex-showroom), which is roughly the same ballpark we expect the Curvv EV to be priced at. Prices for the Curvv EV are slated to be announced on August 7 along with its petrol and diesel variants.

BMW has taken the wraps off its most powerful M3 ever, the F80 M3 CS, which is even more powerful than the BMW M3 competition. The BMW M3 CS will be sold in sedan bodystyle only and in limited numbers worldwide.  BMW M3 sedan gets 550hp twin-turbo petrol Does 0-100kph in 3.4 seconds Gets BMW’s xDrive AWD tech with selectable RWD BMW M3 CS: design and interior  The M3 CS is set apart from the M3 Competition visually by a raft of design tweaks, such as an angrier-looking, open front grille designed to match the front end of BMW’s GT4-spec M4 racer. Gaping air intakes round off the new-look nose. These are joined by a host of items that enhance aerodynamics, such as a wide front splitter and a lipped rear spoiler. It gets special V-spoke gold wheels – 19-inch at the front and 20-inch at the rear – shod with track-focused tyres. The M compound brakes come with red calipers, while carbon-ceramic brakes are also available. The interior broadly matches that of the M3 Competition, w

Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato First Look: The Ideal supercar for India

The biggest phenomenon of the car world this century is the inexorable rise of SUVs. You have them in all shapes and sizes, for every occasion and every purpose. Even true-blue sportscar makers like Porsche, Maserati and Lamborghini have embraced this high-riding body type, which is the antithesis of the sleek, low-slung sportscars these storied brands originally built their legacy and reputation on. Ferrari, too, has just launched its first-ever SUV, which, not long ago, was anathema to the famous Italian marque. It shows that even hallowed brands have no sacred cows left and have succumbed to what is the cash cow of the car market. WRC-style LED spot lamps drive home the rally look.  SUVs make money, plain and simple. Consumers are willing to pay a lot for them and, crucially, they have a much wider appeal than sportscars. So, it’s no surprise that both Porsche and Lamborghini owe their fortunes to the SUVs in their range. Porsche has the Cayenne and Macan, while Lamborghini has j
