Tata Motors Unveils Curvv Series X: A New Era in Coupe-SUVs
Introduction to Tata Curvv Series X
Tata Motors has officially launched its much-anticipated coupe-SUV, the Curvv Series X, in the Indian automotive market. The starting price for this new series is set at ₹9.99 lakh (ex-showroom). Instead of making significant design changes, the company has focused on enhancing features and value across various variants.
Variants and Features
The Curvv Series X is available in six distinct variants: Smart X, Pure X, Pure X+, Creative X+, Accomplished X, and Accomplished X+. Notably, the entry-level and mid-spec variants now come equipped with more premium features compared to their predecessors.
What to Expect at ₹9.99 Lakh?
The base variant, Smart X, is priced at ₹9.99 lakh and features a 1.2-liter turbo petrol engine paired with a manual gearbox. Despite being the entry-level option, it includes several safety and convenience features.
Standard features include 6 airbags, ESP, ABS with EBD, hill-hold control, rear parking sensors, and a digital instrument cluster. Additionally, it offers R-Comfort seats, a rear armrest, flush-type door handles, and multiple driving modes.
Premium Features in Mid Variants
The standout aspect of the Tata Curvv Series X is its new feature package. The Pure X variant includes a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, automatic climate control, cruise control, and push-button start.
The Pure X+ variant adds leatherette interiors and 17-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, while the Creative X+ features a panoramic sunroof and a 360-degree 3D surround-view camera with a blind-view monitor.
Top Models with Advanced Technology
For those seeking more premium features, the higher variants, Accomplished X and Accomplished X+, come with advanced technology such as Level 2 ADAS, ventilated front seats, a 6-way power-adjustable driver seat, and ambient lighting.
The top variant also boasts a 12.3-inch infotainment system, a 9-speaker JBL audio setup, dual-zone climate control, wireless charging, and connected-car technology. The Accomplished X+ variant includes a gesture-controlled powered tailgate.
Design Elements
The Curvv Series X retains its appealing SUV-coupe design. While the core design remains intact, some styling updates have been made, including a black grille and the option for a Dark Edition in certain variants.
The Dark Edition is available in select variants above Pure X+, featuring a black exterior theme and dark interior.
Engine and Transmission Options
The Curvv Series X continues to offer both petrol and diesel powertrain options. It includes a 1.2-liter turbo petrol, a 1.2-liter direct-injection turbo petrol, and a 1.5-liter diesel engine.
Reports indicate that the 1.2-liter turbo petrol engine produces approximately 120 hp and 170 Nm of torque, while the direct-injection petrol engine delivers around 125 hp and 225 Nm. The 1.5-liter diesel engine generates about 118 hp and 260 Nm of torque. Depending on the variant, both manual and DCA automatic gearbox options are available.
Reorganized Variant Lineup
Tata has also reorganized the previous lineup of the Curvv. The Series X now features six main variants aimed at providing customers with more features at lower price points.
The starting price is ₹9.99 lakh, while the top variant can go up to approximately ₹19 lakh, depending on the powertrain and edition. All prices are ex-showroom.
Why Choose Tata Curvv Series X?
With the Curvv Series X, Tata Motors aims to enhance the value-for-money proposition of the existing Curvv rather than creating an entirely new SUV. This is particularly beneficial for customers looking for premium features in budget-friendly and mid-spec variants.
The starting price of ₹9.99 lakh, standard 6 airbags, the SUV-coupe design, and features like a sunroof, 360-degree camera, and ADAS in higher variants make the Curvv Series X an intriguing option in the Indian SUV market.
