12:57 Buyers with plenty city drive will find better match in DCA 16:38 Dual clutch don’t make for ideal gearbox for start stop driving Not a criticism but am I missing something here?

[@prd2271]

The 1st comment is regarding petrol dca, 2nd comment is regarding diesel dca

[@NikhilOnCars]

Hey, to clarify - 1) The DCA will save you the bother of dealing with the clutch pedal 2) Dual clutch gearboxes are best on open roads, but aren't as smooth as a CVT or torque converter in stop start traffic. The engine's ready torque amplifies the DCT's low speed hesitation

[@abhinavdixit8288]

The second point is absolutely correct. The first point simply wants to convey that as far as comfort goes, buyers will be happy opting for an automatic. Now since the automatic is available only in DCT guise, he used the words "automatic" and "Dual Clutch" interchangeably. Hope that clears it up buddy. Regardless, don't purchase this car if you have the money. Looks like a shit machine tbh.

[@ajarav1]

@@abhinavdixit8288 yeah the interchangeable usage kinda makes sense..i totally agree with your view on the Curvv though..they went too far with the differentiation and overlooked the important aspects

[@amitbhargavsunny]

Tata cars major improvements/modifications required ASAP: 1. Panel gaps,fit and finish. 2. 3 cylinder non smooth engine, also Gearbox transmission needs refinement. 3. Less leg space in both front and rear seats in almost every car compared to its competition due to its interior design. 4. Need a lot more efforts for Service and Maintenance improvements across the country.

[@Scotch_Runner]

Tata Curvv seem to be a good car. Has good road presence as well. The new engine has received very good feedback as well. Indeed the petrol with DCA should be the best option. Tata cars are known for its fuel efficiency and I think the new petrol should return respectable mileage. This car can be a very good option for couples with kids below the age of 15. The massive boot, good on-road mannerism, high ground clearance, excellent shock absorbers plus all the additional features makes it a great option for long family drives or tours.

[@chadultrapromax1735]

[@bhavinsiddhpura8814]

Tata needs to improve design of their alloy wheels, only harrier and safari has best one

[@vikramrghanekar]

Had back to back experience of Tata and Kia showrooms. The Curvv was on display. It looks quite good from the outside, but once you look closely you realise that the fit and finish is not upto the mark. Lack of headroom as well as legroom at the back is quite evident. The Seltos in comparison is a much better product with better fit and finish, better space with smooth and powerful engine options. The quality of materials simply felt much better. The only real competitor for this car is Citroen Basalt which sells at a much lower price point. But Tata has priced this compact SUV in Mid Size SUV territory. Price should have been in Nexon territory. I just don't see the value in this vehicle other than it's unique shape. Frankly, to make a coupe SUV work, Tata should have made use of a much longer wheelbase like that of Harrier/Safari. This would have allowed much better head and leg space. Then they could have justified the price tag.

[@satheesh1796]

I believe around this time next year, we can expect a discount of 50 to 70k on this car. I checked it out, and the seating is uncomfortable / Poor. For a car priced over 20L, it’s surprising that there are no front cup holders.

[@baburao103]

This is surprising. Ravi from DDS channel (6'4") sat in the backseat of Curvv with driving position of a 6'2" guy and still had the same headroom as the 5'11" guy here... What is going on here ?!
