Tata motors bringing the new Curvv Series X with an affordable price range from 9.99 lakh to 18.99 lakh. Tata Curvv Series X offers a combine petrol and diesel powertrain with power-packed features while focusing on its safety, design and durability at this price point, making it accessible to a wider range of buyers.
It’s not a facelift — the sheet metal is untouched but the pricing and equipment list have moved enough that the buying calculus for this coupe-SUV is genuinely different from what it was in August.
Here’s what actually changed, what you get at each price point, and where the Curvv Series X still loses ground to the cars parked next to it in the showroom.
What Changed With the Tata Curvv Series X Price and Variant Reshuffle
Tata has trimmed the lineup from eight variants down to six, and renamed every one of them to carry an “X” — Smart X, Pure X, Pure X Plus, Creative X Plus, Accomplished X, and Accomplished X Plus. The turbo-petrol T-GDI engine has also lost its manual gearbox option; it’s automatic-only now.
Smart X base variant starting at ₹9.99 lakh ex-showroom. Variant-by-variant price table rounds this up to ₹10 lakh, which is likely just a rounding convention rather than a genuine pricing discrepancy but if you’re quoting an exact figure, it’s worth cross-checking against Tata’s official price list for your city, since ex-showroom prices also shift slightly by state due to local taxes.
Here’s the full price ladder as reported at launch:
| Variant | Petrol MT | Petrol DCA (auto) | T-GDI DCA | Diesel MT | Diesel DCA |
| Smart X | ₹9.99 lakh | — | — | — | — |
| Pure X | ₹11.00 lakh | ₹12.30 lakh | — | ₹12.30 lakh | — |
| Pure X Plus | ₹11.80 lakh | ₹13.10 lakh | — | ₹13.10 lakh | — |
| Creative X Plus | ₹12.91 lakh | ₹14.21 lakh | — | ₹14.21 lakh | — |
| Accomplished X | ₹14.00 lakh | ₹15.30 lakh | — | ₹15.30 lakh | — |
| Accomplished X Plus | — | — | ₹18.50 lakh | — | ₹18.75 lakh |
From the Pure X Plus trim upward, you can also spec the #DARK Edition — blacked-out exterior and interior trim for an extra ₹25,000, which is a genuinely cheap way to make the Curvv’s already unusual silhouette look meaner.
The petrol-diesel price gap has also been trimmed from ₹1.5 lakh to ₹1.3 lakh, and the automatic gearbox premium has dropped by the same margin. If you were on the fence about the diesel purely because of the price jump, that fence just got shorter.
Engine and Transmission Options: Same Motors, Smarter Packaging
Tata hasn’t touched the powertrains because the Series X update is entirely about pricing and equipment, not what’s under the hood. You still get three engine choices:
| Engine | Power | Torque | Transmission |
| 1.2L Turbo-petrol | 120 PS | 170 Nm | 6-speed MT / 7-speed DCA |
| 1.2L Turbo-petrol T-GDI | 125 PS | 225 Nm | 7-speed DCA only |
| 1.5L Turbo-diesel | 118 PS | 260 Nm | 6-speed MT / 7-speed DCA |
The diesel is the torque king here by a wide margin, and it’s also the mileage pick. Autocar India’s figures put the diesel at an ARAI-claimed 22.4 km/l across both manual and automatic versions, with real-world owner reports settling closer to 17-19 km/l depending on driving style.
The petrol variant ARAI figures anywhere from 12 to 17 km/l for the same 1.2L Revotron unit, which is a wider spread than you’d expect from a single certified test. Treat any petrol mileage number you see — including the ones in this article as approximate until you’ve checked the specific variant’s spec sheet at a Tata dealership, because the discrepancy across sources is large enough that it matters if fuel cost is a deciding factor for you.
The Curvv has previously carried waiting periods of up to 12 weeks on petrol and diesel variants. A brand-new variant launch typically resets that clock, so ask your dealer for a current delivery timeline rather than assuming last quarter’s wait applies.

Features You Get in Curvv Series X at Every Price Point
This is where Series X earned the respect, it doesn’t just arrive with more features — it is worth being specific because redistribution is uneven across trims.
The Pure X — one step above the stripped-down Smart X — now comes with a 10.25-inch touchscreen running wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, cruise control, a 6-speaker Harman Kardon sound system, a panoramic sunroof, automatic climate control, and selectable drive modes. A year ago, several of these were reserved for trims two rungs higher. If you’re a buyer who wants a sunroof and a proper sound system without stretching into the ₹13-14 lakh bracket, that’s a real shift.
Move up to Creative X Plus and you add a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, ventilated front seats, rain-sensing wipers, and automatic headlamps which are a genuinely useful kit for anyone doing serious highway distances in Indian heat.
The Accomplished X Plus, at the top, keeps its powered tailgate, 6-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, connected-car features, auto-dimming inside rear-view mirror, a 12.3-inch digital cluster, and Level 2 ADAS — none of that has trickled down, so the top trim still justifies its price gap over Accomplished X.
On the interior itself, Tata has also introduced an Oyster White leatherette upholstery option from Pure X Plus onward, and rear passengers get a small but real comfort bump: the front seats have been scooped out to free up 10mm more knee room, and the rear bench itself has shifted 20mm rearward and 10mm lower.
Safety Kit on the Curvv Series X
Standard across the entire range — safety kit is the most reliable thing Tata Motors have offered to their buyers. Even in the Smart X — you get 6 airbags, rear parking sensors, ISOFIX child-seat anchors, electronic stability control, and hill-hold control. That’s a stronger baseline than several rivals still offer only on mid-spec trims.
Step up to Pure X and you add a reversing camera and a tyre pressure monitoring system. Creative X Plus brings a 360-degree camera, front parking sensors, and a rear defogger. Level 2 ADAS — adaptive cruise, lane-keep assist, forward collision warning — remains exclusive to the range-topping Accomplished X Plus, unchanged from before.
The Curvv holds a 5-star Bharat NCAP rating, tested alongside the Nexon and Curvv EV, all three of which cleared the assessment with the same score. For a segment where safety ratings vary wildly between rivals, that’s a genuine selling point Tata can lean on without exaggeration.
Tata Curvv Series X vs Citroen Basalt X: The Real Coupe-SUV Face-off
The Basalt X is the only other coupe-SUV in this exact price bracket, priced from ₹8.55 lakh to ₹14.11 lakh — meaningfully cheaper at both ends than the Curvv Series X, which tops out near ₹18.75 lakh. If your budget caps out around ₹12-13 lakh, the Basalt X undercuts the equivalent Curvv trim while offering a similar coupe roofline and a genuinely comfortable ride, built on the same platform underpinning the C3 and eC3.
Where the Curvv pulls ahead is feature depth at the top end and brand pull in the Indian market — Tata’s service network and resale perception still run ahead of Citroen’s in most Indian cities, which matters more than a spec sheet once you’re two years into ownership.
The Basalt X also doesn’t offer anything close to the Curvv’s Level 2 ADAS suite, so if driver-assist tech is a priority, the comparison ends there.
Tata Curvv Series X vs Hyundai Creta: Style Versus Substance
The Hyundai Creta remains the benchmark this segment gets measured against, priced from ₹10.91 lakh to ₹20.06 lakh — almost dead-level with the Curvv Series X band-for-band. The Creta wins on rear headroom and visibility (no sloping coupe roofline eating into either), a larger and more configurable boot, and a resale value that’s hard for any Tata product to match yet, simply because Hyundai has a longer track record in this exact segment.
Nobody buys a coupe-SUV because it’s the most practical shape, they buy it because it doesn’t look like every other compact SUV on the road. If that visual distinctiveness matters to you more than an extra few centimetres of rear headroom, the Curvv Series X now competes on price too, not just looks which wasn’t quite true before this update.

Conclusion
If you were previously considering the Curvv but talked yourself out of the base variant because it felt bare, that objection is largely gone — the Pure X at ₹11-12.3 lakh now carries a sunroof, wireless CarPlay, and a proper sound system that used to cost you a trim or two more. That’s the variant most buyers in the ₹11-13 lakh bracket should actually be cross-shopping against the Creta and Seltos, not the Smart X, which still feels like a fleet-spec entry point.
Skip the Tata Curvv Series X if rear-seat space and outright practicality outrank styling on your priority list — the coupe roofline is a real compromise on headroom and visibility that no amount of feature-list padding fixes, and the Creta or a Grand Vitara will serve a family of four more comfortably on a daily basis.
The diesel-DCA combination is the pick if you’re covering serious highway distance and want the torque advantage; the turbo-petrol makes more sense for city-first driving where the mileage gap narrows and the lower price wins out. Either way, get the exact ARAI mileage figure and on-road price for your city from a dealer before signing.
