Tata Motors is prepared to introduce the Curvv in India on August 7. It will be among the initial mass-market coupe-SUVs available here, offering a different option to midsize SUVs such as the Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos, among others. Three engine choices will be offered: a 120hp, 1.2-liter turbo-petrol, a 115hp, 1.5-liter diesel, and a brand-new 125hp, 225Nm 1.2-liter three-cylinder direct-injection turbo-petrol. All three engines will come with the option of a dual-clutch automatic transmission.

The Curvv will come with a fully electric option that includes two battery choices: a brand-new 55kWh unit and the 40.5kWh unit found in the Nexon LR.
