Tata Curvv CNG Spotted Testing: India's First Coupe-Style SUV with Dual-Cylinder Technology Set to Launch Soon

New Delhi, April 8 Tata Motors is set to break new ground in the Indian automotive market with the upcoming launch of its first CNG-powered coupe SUV, the Tata Curvv CNG. Recently spied on test runs under heavy camouflage, the vehicle is already making waves for its dual-cylinder CNG technology, a first for an SUV in India.

With an elegant coupe-inspired design and smart engineering that prioritizes performance and practicality, the Tata Curvv CNG is poised to redefine expectations in the CNG vehicle segment.

Stylish Coupe Design with Smart Dual-Cylinder Innovation

Though the test unit was wrapped in camo, industry insiders confirm that the CNG variant will mirror the aesthetic of its diesel and petrol siblings. The coupe-SUV silhouette, a rarity in this price segment, adds a dynamic appeal, while the dual-cylinder CNG layout promises to optimize boot space—a common concern in traditional CNG vehicles.

By integrating dual cylinders beneath the cargo area, Tata Motors ensures that customers don’t have to choose between fuel efficiency and practicality.

Performance Meets Economy: Powerful Yet Efficient

While the official specs remain under wraps, the Tata Curvv CNG is expected to house a 1.2-liter turbocharged petrol engine, delivering 99 bhp and 170 Nm of torque. The engine, when paired with the CNG system, could offer an impressive fuel efficiency of around 25 km/kg, making it an economical yet powerful choice for daily urban commuters and long-distance travelers alike.

This smart powertrain strategy could put the Curvv ahead in the growing CNG SUV market, offering both performance and savings.

Premium Features and Top-Tier Safety Standards

Tata is not compromising on comfort or safety. The Curvv CNG is anticipated to feature a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a full-digital driver display, 9-speaker JBL sound system, ventilated front seats, and a panoramic sunroof—matching the premium interior quality of its other variants.

Safety features are expected to include:

• 6 airbags (standard)

• Level-2 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems)

• Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

• Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

• 360-degree camera

• Electronic parking brake

Adding to its credibility, the Tata Curvv has already achieved a 5-star safety rating under BNCAP crash tests.

Expected Price and Festive Season Launch

The CNG variant is expected to launch during the festive season of Dussehra or Diwali 2025, with an estimated starting price of ₹11 lakh (ex-showroom). This positions it slightly above the petrol and diesel models, which start at ₹9.99 lakh.

Once launched, the Tata Curvv will offer four distinct powertrain options—petrol, diesel, electric, and now CNG—making it one of the most versatile offerings in the mid-size SUV segment.
