Tata Curvv Pulls 3 Trucks

Tata Motors has showcased the abilities of the Curvv coupe SUV by pulling off an interesting stunt. Looks like Tata Motors is planning to perform a series of stunts to showcase the Curvv’s true abilities. This video has been titled as Act 01, indicating a possibility for more stunts in the future.

Tata Motors: Previous Stunt Shows

This is not the first time Tata Motors has performed stunts to showcase the true ability of their vehicles. In the past, a Tata Hexa was used to pull a Boeing 737 airplane, showcasing the vehicle’s hauling abilities.

Tata Curvv: Act 01

The above Tata Hexa stunt must have set the tone for this topic, highlighting the fact that Tata vehicles are very capable. In this video, it can be seen that a Tata Curvv is pulling 3 trucks effortlessly. Each truck has a weight of 14,000KG, amounting the total weight to 42,000KG. This experiment has been conducted at a Tata Motors manufacturing facility.

The vehicle used for this experiment was a Curvv powered by Tata’s new Hyperion series engine, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. This engine debuted on the Curvv, marking Tata’s first entry into the GDI engine technology. GDI stands for Gasoline Direct Injection. GDI, when compared to Multi-Port Injection(MPI), has several advantages, with the most notable one being better power and torque outputs. This engine produces 125PS of power and 225NM of torque. The Curvv is seen pulling the trucks effortlessly, showcasing the capability of the engine and the car. It remains to be seen what Tata performs next to showcase the capabilities of the Curvv. The car in the video has slight alterations to accommodate the equipment required for pulling the trucks. A custom rear hook can be seen connected to the chassis of the vehicle. All three trucks are connected with chains and are then connected to the hook on the Curvv. This stunt showcases the strength and structural integrity of the vehicle’s underpinnings. Additionally, for such heavy-load applications, usually diesel engines are used because they produce much higher torque at very low RPM making the pulling action effortless. But, interestingly, Tata has chosen the petrol version of the Curvv for this test. Notably, they have chosen the more advanced GDI version, to highlight the engine’s strengths. While in the previous stunt with the Hexa, it must be noted that the Hexa was a proper diesel SUV with a ladder on-frame chassis and 4×4 capability. But in the case of the Curvv, the chassis employed here is a monocoque and the engine used is a petrol engine, making the achievement some what more remarkable.

Tata Curvv: Overview

The Tata Curvv marks Tata’s entry into the niche coupe SUV segment. Although the Curvv was initially aimed at the Creta, it has eventually created a niche segment for itself. The Curvv has a plethora of engine options such as a 1.2 litre turbo petrol, a 1.2 litre GDI turbo petrol, and a 1.5 turbo diesel. These engines are mated to a 6-speed AMT, a 7-speed DCT, or a 6-speed manual transmission based on the engine option and variant. The Curvv boasts several features such as level 2 ADAS, a tire pressure monitoring system, a panoramic sunroof, all-wheel disc brakes powered tailgate, flush-fitting door handles, and its unique coupe-like design with a sloping roof-like effect. The Curvv was launched in September 2024. The Curvv has been tested by BNCAP and has received a full 5 stars for both adult and child occupants.
