However, the mystery continues when it comes to the powertrain. While the exhaust pipe is visible, it’s still uncertain whether the vehicle is testing a new turbo-petrol unit, a CNG powertrain, or even an electric vehicle (EV). Tata Motors has previously used fake exhaust pipes on EV test mules.
During the launch of the Harrier and Safari facelifts, Shailesh Chandra, managing director of Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd and Tata Passenger Electric Mobility Ltd, indicated that the introduction of the new petrol engine would take time, partly due to the challenges faced in its development.
Notably, a design sketch officially released by Tata Motors featured a CNG button, hinting at the possibility of a CNG powertrain for the Curvv.
