The Curvv ICE retains most of the Curvv EV’s styling cues
On the cosmetic front, the Curvv ICE retains most of the styling cues of the Curvv EV, while sporting a few changes to set it apart. The most notable differences include a contrast black-finished panel that spans between the width of the upper fascia, a revised central air dam, and the different alloy wheel design. The cabin design is shared with the Curvv EV and features the large free-standing central touchscreen, touch sensitive air-con controls, four-spoke steering with an illuminated Tata logo and a digital instrument cluster.
The Curvv ICE’s top variants will get a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system and a 10.25-inch digital instruments cluster
Top variants will come with a long feature list that will include a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 10.25-inch digital instruments cluster (both by Harman), a 9-speaker JBL audio system, a voice-assisted panoramic sunroof, ambient lighting, auto climate control, a powered tailgate with gesture control, a wireless charger, and an in-built air purifier. Other features of interest include ventilated front seats, a 6-way power-adjustable driver seat, and a 360-degree surround-view system.
The SUV debuts Tata’s new 1.2-litre, ‘Hyperion’ turbo-petrol, gasoline direct injection engine. The unit delivers 124 bhp and 225 Nm of peak torque and will be offered with either a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic (DCA). The familiar 1.2-litre ‘Revotron’ turbo-petrol engine used in the Nexon with 118 bhp and 170 Nm on tap will also be offered. This unit too will be offered with either a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed DCA.
