Tata Curvv EV Pros & Cons: Tata Curvv EV, another product from Tata Motors promoting sustainable green mobility, was recently launched at a starting price of Rs 17.49 lakhs, ex-showroom. Tata Motors, which already dominates the electric 4-wheeler segment, anticipates that the Curvv EV will help increase its market share by generating higher sales volumes. However, its success depends on how the market reacts to this coupe-style SUV, as it's something new to the Indian customer.

Tata Curvv EV Cons
1. Rear Seat: The high floor and limited headroom (due to the coupe styling) make the rear seat a bit uncomfortable for tall passengers.
2. Fit & Finish: Fit & finish is satisfactory; however, there is definitely room for improvement.
3. Visibility: Being a coupe-SUV, rearward visibility through the rear glass is poor.
4. Missing Features: It lacks telescopic adjustment for the steering wheel, cupholders for front passengers, and a rear sunshade.
5. Suspension: The suspension setup with the 18-inch wheels is on the stiffer side, making you feel bumps and potholes inside the cabin.
