Tata Curvv Coupe SUV Waiting Period Increases: Details
Tata Curvv coupe is available with both all-electric and ICE (petrol/diesel) powertrains. The EV was launched in August while the petrol and diesel versions made their entrances in September. The Curvv.EV may not have had the most satisfying start but is now slowly rising to acceptance. Many Tata dealers report that the waiting period for the petrol/diesel Curvv has reached up to three months. This varies slightly with the powertrain of choice. This is, in fact, an increase over the waiting span in September. The waiting period for the EV, on the other hand, is much less.
Going by the data released by SIAM, the dealer dispatches of the Curvv in October stood at 8,218 units. Sources say that all variants of the electric Curvv command waiting spans of four weeks. Generous dispatches for the EV have helped in keeping the waiting period under check.
Tata Curvv.EV: Quick Look At It
The Curvv is essentially Tata’s attempt at making a good-looking coupe SUV. The manufacturer has ensured a clear distinction between the petrol/diesel and EV counterparts, in terms of design. Key highlights of Curvv.EV include a closed-off grille, low-resistance tyres, aero wheels, LED lighting, boot lip spoiler, shark fin antenna and a sloping roofline. It comes in 5 variants – Creative, Accomplished, Accomplished +, Empowered And Empowered+.
Two battery packs are offered- 45 kWh and 55 kWh. The Creative, Accomplished and Accomplished+ variants get the smaller battery while the 55 kWh is available on the Accomplished, Accomplished+ S, Empowered+ and Empowered+ A variants. The 45 kWh variant delivers 145 PS and 215 Nm while the bigger battery version has a motor with 167 PS and 215 Nm on offer.
The more powerful iteration of the Curvv.EV is claimed to do the 0-100 kph sprint in just 8.6 seconds and to have a top speed of 160 kph. The vehicle is underpinned by Tata’s new-age Acti.EV platform.
Tata Curvv (Petrol and Diesel)
Now take the case of the ICE Curvv. Since not everyone would call it so, rephrasing it to petrol/ diesel Curvv. The diesel versions enjoy fair demand in the country and is available in Smart, Pure, Creative and Accomplished trims.
The coupe offers the choice of two petrol and a diesel engine. These are 1.2-litre turbo petrol, 1.2-litre TGDi turbo petrol and 1.5L diesel. The Nexon-sourced 1.2 turbo petrol produces 118 bhp and 170 Nm and comes mated to 6MT and 7 DCT transmissions. The new 1.2 TGDi turbo petrol produces 122 bhp and 225 Nm and offers the choice of 6MT and DCT gearboxes. The diesel too is borrowed from the Nexon and produces 116 bhp and 260 Nm. It can be had with the same set of gearboxes as the turbo-petrols.
Tata Curvv Petrol/Diesel Waiting Periods
The base-spec Smart diesel (with manual transmission) now has a waiting period of a little over two months. The Pure, Creative and Accomplished variants with diesel engines have more than a month’s waiting time. All diesel automatics need around two months in waiting.
The base-spec petrol (Smart) manual has the highest waiting period- over 3 months. The Pure, Creative and Accomplished variants with petrol-MT drivetrains command 2 months of waiting, while the automatic variants (1.2 turbo petrol-DCT) need 3 months. The new engine- 1.2-TGDi comes only in Creative and accomplished trims. The manual variants of these would require a waiting time of around 2 months while the automatics take up to 3.
