Tata continues to consolidate its leadership position in the Indian automobile space. The new feat is that both the Curvv and Curvv EV have won a 5-star safety rating from the Bharat New Car Assessment Programme, or BNCAP. It becomes a true testimony to Tata’s commitment towards building the vehicle not as the culmination of innovative design elements but for passengers’ safety above all else.
Shailendra Kumar, Managing Director of Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles, speaks about his pride in having achieved this milestone, “This 5-star rating is no number; it is a commitment to safer vehicles for our customers. We are setting benchmarks in the Indian automotive landscape,”
A Glimpse into the BNCAP Ratings
The Tata Curvv and Curvv EV have passed all safety tests at BNCAP and fared very well in all the vital tests mimicking actual crash situations. Thus, the ratings are reassuring for consumers concerning the protection offered in case of a mishap.
Curvv EV Safety Scores:
- Adult Occupant Protection (AOP): 30.81/32
- Child Occupant Protection (COP): 44.83 out of 49
Curvv ICE Safety Scores:
- Adult Occupant Protection (AOP) – 29.50 out of 32
- Child Occupant Protection (COP) – 43.66 out of 49
These inspiring numbers clearly indicate that Curvv EV boasts very robust construction and has passed extremely severe safety tests. Such as the Frontal Offset Deformable Barrier Test and the Side Movable Deformable Barrier Test.
Safety Features That Make the Curvv EV Stand Out
Tata Motors has equipped the Curvv series with international-level safety features. These include the following:
- Six airbags
- Electronic Stability Control for better grip and preventing accidents
- Anti-lock Braking System for effective braking control
- ISOFIX mounts for child seats to avoid harming the young lot
These innovations are more than simple compliance; they are part of Tata’s mission to make safety an integral part of every vehicle it produces.
Renowned automotive journalist Hormazd Sorabjee also reacted, saying: “Tata Motors has always been leading the charge in vehicle safety in the country. The Curvv’s performance is a clear indication of their commitment to surpassing global safety standards while delivering stylish and functional vehicles.”
Market Positioning of Curvv EV
The newest offerings from Tata, Curvv and Curvv EV, like some of the other high-rated models, including Nexon, Punch EV, and Altroz, have already received the much-coveted 5-star safety rating under Bharat NCAP.
The EV sales comprise around 12% of the total sales in Tata Motors. Curvv EV can be termed as a game-changer in the growing Indian EV market, considering the escalating demand for sustainability and safety make the Curvv a very promising bet for those looking at an eco-friendly car that does not compromise between safety or performance.
ELCTRIK Speaks
The Tata Motors five-star rating for the Curvv EV reflects a long-term commitment by the company toward passenger safety and innovation. The company is better than amply prepared to take up and raise the bar in India for the entire automotive sector. The Curvv series assures it all: cutting-edge safety features with futuristic design and performance.
