Well, here we go again. Tata Motors has quietly slipped in a price hike for the Curvv, and your wallet’s about to feel Rs 13,000 lighter if you’re eyeing the higher variants.
Look, we’ve all been there – you finally decide on a car, start planning the EMIs, maybe even visit the showroom for that final test drive. Then boom! Price hike. It’s like the automotive gods have a twisted sense of humor. The Curvv joins the not-so-exclusive club of cars that got pricier this month, and honestly, it was kind of expected given how things have been going in the industry lately.
Price Changes Breakdown
Okay, let’s cut through the corporate speak and see what’s actually happening with your money. The price bump isn’t some blanket increase – Tata’s been a bit selective here, which is both good and bad news depending on which variant caught your eye.
- Entry-level Smart variant: Still sits pretty at Rs 10 lakh (thank goodness!)
- Select GDI turbo-petrol variants: Up by Rs 3,000 (could be worse)
- Most other variants: Ouch – Rs 13,000 more expensive
- Dark Edition variants: Some dodged the bullet entirely (lucky them)
So now you’re looking at a price range of Rs 10 lakh to Rs 19.52 lakh (ex-showroom). That puts the Curvv right in the thick of things with the Creta and Grand Vitara – which, let’s be honest, was always the plan.

What Stays the Same
Here’s some relief – not everything’s getting the price treatment. A bunch of variants, especially in the Dark Edition lineup, are keeping their original tags. The Smart diesel MT also stays put, which is great news if you’re one of those die-hard diesel fans who refuse to give up on that torque-y goodness.
It’s almost like Tata played darts with their variant list to decide who gets hit with the hike. Random? Maybe. But we’ll take the wins where we can get them.
Engine Options Remain Unchanged
At least they didn’t mess with the mechanicals – that would’ve been adding insult to injury. You still get the same three-engine menu:
- 1.2-litre Revotron petrol (118 hp, 170 Nm) – the sensible choice
- 1.2-litre Hyperion GDI turbo-petrol (123 hp, 225 Nm) – for when you want a bit more punch
- 1.5-litre Kryojet diesel (116 hp, 260 Nm) – the torque monster
All paired with either a 6-speed manual (for the purists) or 7-speed DCA automatic (for the traffic warriors).
Market Context
This isn’t happening in isolation, folks. Tata’s been on a bit of a price-hiking spree with the Tiago, Tiago NRG, and Tigor all getting similar treatment. It’s becoming as predictable as Mumbai traffic jams – rising costs, supply chain hiccups, and the usual economic pressures forcing everyone’s hand.
The timing’s particularly interesting though. With festive season just around the corner, this could really mess with family car-buying plans. You know how it is – everyone waits for Diwali bonuses and then… surprise! The car costs more now.
But here’s the thing – if you’ve been genuinely considering the Curvv, this Rs 13,000 shouldn’t be the deal-breaker. It’s still a solid package with that distinctive coupe-SUV styling that turns heads at traffic lights.
