Why is that a problem ? These are not the only two cars with such bottle holders. Other manufacturers too have cars with bottle holders that are tilted.

The exterior of tata curv is nice to look at. The clean lines and the trademark tata tail section. The interiors also look very classy. Tata motors are launching new cars every 2-3 months however the tata cars still retain issues, gremlins (as reported on this forum). If they can sort out the niggling issues in there cars with such good products, they can very well be selling at the level of maruti suzuki in future!

Actually, keeping the bottle at an angle in door pads makes it lot easier to take them out or put them back. There's hardly any vertical space there to be able to slide the bottle in vertically. So, I don't think there will be many cars that can offer this, unless we are taking about a huge car with a really tall door.
And bottles by nature, should not leak even if they are kept at 70 or even at 60 degrees.

And this difference of opening / closing time is there in Kia / Hyundai cars too.

Yes, sometimes no logic works. It's because of top end model not available in wine red color. I don't want to buy low end from my side.

Based on conversations with the dealer near me and shared price list for the accessories, they provide artificial leather seat covers as branded accessories in different colours. Maybe you can check with your dealer for the same as well. And as they are supposed to be brand approved, I'm sure they would be okay with seat airbags and ventilation.

PS : I haven't yet had the chance to visit the showroom personally due to work to check the seat covers.

It's not about seat covers, the interior itself nicely blended in that color. Here is a sample pic attached from TATA motors website

Bells and whistles can be distraction. How are the fundamentals of these cars? How do they hold up in medium to long term? How is the downtime frequency? Any idea about unexpected breakdown or things falling apart?

Agreed. Even I'm prefer the tasteful red of accomplished over the bland-ish layout of empowered. Wish there was a way to customise the interiors as per choice. Accomplished interior persona with Empowered's bells and whistle would be a great VFM combo at 24 OTR.

If you refer to Tata in general, I myself own a '16 Tiago with over 107K on the odometer and not a single instance of breakdown. IMO, Tata should focus on just two major issues:
- Factory QC, which is usually the root cause of a breakdown
- Service Experience, which is usually the root cause of owners' headaches

The ICE has much better under-thigh and seating posture due to lower floor than EV. Headroom remains the same though.

EV Pic for reference:

Not a fan of the seats & interior color choice and gear shifter design. They should have given multiple options here:


Unlike EV, there is no black treatment for badging


There's is room for dead pedal but not provided


4 cylinder diesel mill (no DPF required)


No engine protection


Quite a looker in this red color

Engine Options


Hi all,

Curvv ICE looks promising and I am considering it. However, yet to decide on the drivetrain. Never driven a Diesel engine before hence initially thought to go with the new Hyperion 1.2L TGDI.

However, now I feel that I should make this a well thought out decision between Kryojet 1.5L Diesel vs Hyperion 1.2L TGDI.

Looking for pointers on how to compare between the two, initial price v/s mileage difference is one, power/torque is another but these can be dealt with data. However, need views on overall driving experience, NVH, drivability etc.

I own Nexon diesel AMT since 2019 and it has covered almost 1L km now, has been a very satisfying and reliable ownership experience.

This is one of the rare cars which can accommodate 2 Litre bottles in front door pockets with some room to spare for other items. Not even my Pajero Sport can do this. PS can hold 1 Litre flexible bottles only. Rear door pockets in Nexon can comfortably accommodate 1 Litre bottles with some room left for other items.

Only major drawback in Nexon with wireless chargers is lack of cup holders in the center console. Personally my car doesnt have wireless charger and I also dont like to eat/drink in car, so a complete non issue for me. Otherwise the car is ergonomically comfortable for four people even for very long road trips.

Well your question is very much to be discussed. Reason, many people don't know the answer.

1. You need to look into your useage.
Where do you intend to use it. Places like Delhi-NCR have strict restrictions on diesel.
2. If your monthly drive is less than 1000kms then petrol. More than 2000kms then it's a diesel.
3. Is in intracity or long distance. If it's highway driving diesel will be great.

Coming to engine performance, petrols are smooth, silent and peppy but are seldom less fuel efficient.
Diesels were earlier noisy and harsh, but are now smooth, Reliable and peppy. They have got excellent drivablility due to low end torque and excellent cruising torque. Due to the common rail tech they are more efficient in power and mileage.

Maintainece will be higher in diesel engines due to more number of moving parts and oils. But it will be negated on high useage. Petrols are less fuel efficient and are economical on low useage as price of Petrol is higher. But diesel engines turn rough and noisy by next 7-8 years and after 1.5 Lakh kms but petrols remain as smooth as new if serviced in time and driven smoothly.

Purchase price is the final nail in the coffin. It is where the difference boils down. Even if Diesel is a lakh more expensive it will be negated if used will.

Thanks for the reply.

This is what I would need to understand further. As I understand, Curvv would have the same 1.5 Diesel as of Nexon. What has been the experience of Junta driving it?
