• Interior perks include a 10.25‑inch digital instrument cluster, 12.3‑inch floating touchscreen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, ambient lighting, a panoramic sunroof, gesture‑enabled tailgate, touchscreen AC vents, wireless charging, and a JBL sound system with subwoofer

It also comes with V2L (vehicle‑to‑load) capability, enabling use of the car’s battery to power appliances—recently demonstrated powering a 1 hp water pump in rural India.

✅ Safety & Warranty

The Curvv EV has achieved five‑star Bharat NCAP ratings in both Adult and Child Occupant Protection tests—AOP 30.81/32, COP 44.83/49—just like its ICE sibling.

Tata Motors also announced a lifetime battery warranty for first owners of the Curvv EV and Nexon EV 45 kWh variants, ensuring peace‑of‑mind ownership with unlimited kilometres coverage.

Early reviewers and auto‑enthusiasts praise the Curvv EV as a Nexon EV on steroids: sharper styling, bigger battery, better acceleration, and a more premium appeal.

Others highlighted its excellent value proposition in the ₹17.5–22 lakh range, loaded with advanced features and driver assistance tech.

With aggressive pricing, class‑leading range, bold coupe‑SUV design, fast charging, V2L utility, and a strong safety and warranty package, it aims to make EV ownership aspirational and practical.
