How does Tata Curvv EV perform on Indian roads and highways?
The Curvv EV nails Indian conditions—comfy over speed breakers, grippy on wet highways, and that low center from the battery pack keeps it planted in corners. Reviews say 380-400km highway range at 80kmph. Been on NH stretches; overtakes are a breeze in Sport mode.
It’s built on Tata’s new EV architecture, so expect a planted ride and strong torque delivery. Indian roads need ground clearance, and Tata usually does well in that area. If the Curvv is anything like the Nexon EV, highway performance will be smooth and powerful, with instant acceleration for overtakes.
On Indian roads, the Curvv EV's a smooth operator—MacPherson struts up front soak up potholes like a champ, and highways? Stable at 120kmph with minimal wind noise thanks to aero design. City crawls are effortless with instant torque, and regen braking makes stops intuitive. Drove Mumbai-Pune; handled ghats brilliantly without drama. Range holds 400km real-world mixed.
Performance-wise, Tata Curvv EV shines on patchy Indian roads with tuned suspension that irons out bumps, and highways feel planted with ESP kicking in just right. City efficiency's top, but watch AC drain in summer. Long-term owner here—reliable and fun.
The one thing people don't talk about enough with EVs is how quiet and smooth they are in city traffic. No engine noise, no gear shifts. The Curvv EV will be a fantastic city car. The strong low-end torque means you can zip through gaps in traffic effortlessly. For highway runs, the only thing to manage is the range and planning your fast charging stops, but the driving experience itself should be very refined.
While I haven't driven it yet, based on Tata's recent form and the expected underpinnings, the performance should be excellent. On highways, the instant torque of the electric motor will make overtaking a breeze. It should feel stable and planted at high speeds. On city roads and bad roads, the ground clearance (expected to be around 190-200 mm) will be sufficient for most speed breakers and potholes. The suspension will likely be tuned for comfort, absorbing bumps well, just like the Nexon EV. The compact dimensions (for a coupe-SUV) should also make it quite maneuverable in tight city traffic. Overall, it's shaping up to be a very capable all-rounder.
