Tata To Launch 4 New SUVs By March 2025 - Curvv, Harrier EV

The homegrown passenger car manufacturer Tata Motors is all set to introduce a wide range of new SUVs in the next couple of years. Before the end of this financial year, the company will launch 4 new SUVs including two EVs, 1 ICE SUV and 1 CNG in the country. 

Tata Curvv EV

Tata Motors will introduce the long-awaited Curvv EV SUV Coupe in the country during the festive season that's before Diwali. The electric SUV will challenge the upcoming Maruti Suzuki EVX, Hyundai Creta EV and the Honda Elevate EV. 

It will be built on Tata's new Acti.ev platform that underpins the Punch EV. This flexible architecture can support different body styles and powertrains, larger battery packs, and dual-motor AWD setup. 

The Tata Curvv EV will be packed with several high-end comfort and convenience features along with advanced safety tech. It is likely to get a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment unit, a 360-degree camera with blind spot monitoring, ventilated front seats, a panoramic sunroof, a 6-way powered driver's seat with memory & welcome function, a dual-zone climate control and a digital driver's display. 

The SUV is also likely to get ADAS Level 2 with features like adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, lane assist, collision avoidance warning and others. It is likely to be packed with a battery pack of around 50-60kWh with a front-axle mounted electric motor. The SUV should offer a range of up to 500km on a single charge. 

Tata Curvv ICE

The ICE version of the Tata Curvv SUV Coupe will also be launched in the country towards the end of 2024 or early 2025. The ICE version will share features with the Curvv EV and the Nexon. It will be offered with petrol and diesel fuel options. 

The SUV Coupe will also mark the debut of Tata's new 1.2-litre, 3-cylinder, turbocharged petrol engine. This engine alongside the 1.5L 4-cylinder direct-injection engine debuted at the 2023 Auto Expo. The new powertrain produces 125PS of power and 225Nm of peak torque. Transmission choices include a 6-speed manual and a 7-speed DCT (Dual-Clutch Transmission). 

The diesel version will receive the 1.5-litre, 4-cylinder turbo unit that powers the Nexon. This powertrain is capable of producing 115PS and 260Nm of torque. Transmission duties will be handled by either a 6-speed manual or an AMT unit. 

Tata Nexon CNG

Tata Motors has confirmed that the Nexon CNG will be launched in the country before the end of this year. Likely to go on sale during festive season, the new Nexon CNG will be the country's first CNG car with a turbocharged petrol engine. 

The CNG SUV will get a 1.2L, 3-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine along with Tata's twin CNG cylinder technology. The power and torque figures are yet to be revealed. We expect the Nexon CNG to witness a significant drop in power and torque outputs compared to the petrol-only variant. It will directly rival the Maruti Brezza CNG. 

It will be equipped with a 1.2-litre, 3-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine along with Tata's twin CNG cylinder technology. The twin-cylinder setup is also available in the Tiago and the Tigor CNG. In fact, Hyundai is also readying the similar twin-CNG cylinder tech for its CNG cars. A 6-speed manual gearbox is likely to come as standard. Similar to the Tiago CNG, the Tata Nexon CNG could also get the AMT option.

Tata Harrier EV

Tata Motors will finally launch the electric Harrier in the first quarter of 2025. It is expected to be introduced at the 2025 Bharat Mobility Show in January. The electric SUV will directly rival the upcoming Mahindra XUV.e8. The Harrier EV has already been spotted testing multiple times on the Indian roads. 

The Tata Harrier EV will come with AWD (all-wheel-drive) layout, offering dual electric motors - one for the front axle and the other one is for the rear axle. There is no information about its battery pack, but we expect the electric SUV to offer a range of around 500km on a single charge.
