A Bold New Contender
Tata Motors has unleashed the Tata Curvv Dark Edition in April 2025, a sleek and stylish SUV that’s ready to take on heavyweights like the Maruti Grand Vitara and Honda Elevate. Priced from ₹16.49 lakh (ex-showroom), this blacked-out variant of the Curvv SUV brings a menacing design and premium features to the compact SUV segment. With its sporty looks and loaded tech, it’s aiming to capture the hearts of young buyers and urban adventurers in India.
Striking Design and Features
The Curvv Dark Edition sports an all-black exterior with glossy black alloy wheels, dark chrome accents, and smoked LED headlights, giving it a fierce road presence. Inside, it offers a 12.3-inch touchscreen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a 10.25-inch digital driver display, and a 9-speaker JBL sound system. It’s packed with goodies like a panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats, a powered tailgate, and Level 2 ADAS features, including auto-emergency braking and adaptive cruise control, making it a strong rival to the Grand Vitara’s hybrid and Elevate’s practicality.

Why It’s a Game-Changer
The Curvv Dark Edition stands out with its bold styling and feature-rich cabin, challenging the Maruti Grand Vitara’s fuel-efficient hybrid (27.97 kmpl) and the Honda Elevate’s reliable 1.5L petrol engine (15.31 kmpl). While the Grand Vitara boasts a panoramic sunroof and six airbags as standard, and the Elevate offers a spacious 458L boot, the Curvv’s ADAS and premium JBL audio give it an edge for tech-savvy buyers. Social media buzz on X calls it a “Creta-killer,” with its coupe-like design appealing to younger audiences.
