Since the Dark Editions are purely cosmetic enhancements, both Curvv variants continue to get the same powertrain options, regardless of their nature. For reference, the ICE-powered Curvv Accomplished variants can be had with either a 1.2-litre TGDi turbo-petrol (125PS/225Nm) or a 1.5-litre diesel (118PS/260Nm). On the other hand, the Curvv EV Empowered Plus A comes with the bigger 55kWh battery pack, which powers the front axle-mounted PMS motor, generating 167PS of max power and 215Nm of peak torque. It claims (MIDC Part 1 + Part 2) a range of 502 kilometers on a full charge.

Rivals

While the ICE-powered Curvv can be seen as a coupe alternative to the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Honda Elevate, VW Taigun, Skoda Kushaq, Maruti Grand Vitara, and Toyota Hyryder, its electric derivative locks horns with the Hyundai Creta Electric, MG ZS EV and the upcoming Maruti eVitara.
