Tata Curvv, Curvv EV teased in action, testing together for the first time

Tata Motors has shared a fresh teaser video of two of its upcoming cars ahead of their launch. The Curvv coupe SUV and the Curvv EV were seen in action together for the first time since the carmaker announced the imminent launch of the two models in India. The new teaser video shows the Curvv and Curvv EV testing under intense heat conditions at the Thar desert in Rajasthan. Tata is likely to launch the Curvv EV first in India which is expected to take place around the upcoming festive season. The ICE version of Curvv will be launched early next year.

The fresh teaser video shows both Curvv and Curvv EV, carefully camouflaged, tackling sandy dunes of Thar desert with temperatures soaring to nearly 50 degree celsius. Both models are seen drifting on sandy patches hinting that the SUVs are capable to even go off the road. Tata Motors had earlier teased the Curvv and Curvv EV revealing more details about the SUVs ahead of their launch.

Tata Motors will use the new Acti.ev architecture, a dedicated platform for electric vehicles, for the Curvv EV. The platform will be able to support front-wheel, rear-wheel and all-wheel drive configurations. The teaser video of the Curvv EV doing light off-roading in Rajasthan shows how capable the model could be.
