Curvv will be the first model to debut this new turbocharged petrol engine.
Tata Motors has officially confirmed a new turbocharged direct injection petrol engine for the upcoming Curvv coupe-SUV. Dubbed the ‘Hyperion’, this new turbo-petrol engine was first showcased at the Auto Expo 2023. The Curvv will be the first model to use this new engine, following which it could also be offered in other compact Tata cars.
- 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine produces 125hp, 225Nm
- Is also compatible with E20 fuel
- Prices for Curvv to be announced on August 7
Tata 1.2-litre TGDi Hyperion engine highlights
The new 1.2-litre direct injection turbo-petrol engine is a three-cylinder unit displacing 1,198cc. It produces 125hp at 5,000rpm and 225Nm of torque between 1,700 and 3,500rpm – that’s 5hp and a healthy 55Nm more than what you get in the Nexon. The bump in output will be essential to account for the Curvv’s additional weight that has come with lengthening the wheelbase.
This new engine is an all-aluminium unit that features variable valve timing technology along with a variable oil pump and an integrated exhaust manifold in the cylinder head. Furthermore, it’s also fitted with a water-cooled variable geometry turbocharger, which Tata claims will provide better torque from lower in the rev range for better acceleration.
Tata’s existing 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine isn’t the most refined, nor does it provide much in terms of performance. The company is claiming high levels of refinement along with improved performance and fuel efficiency with this new engine, so it remains to be seen how it performs in the real world.
Tata Curvv launch details, expected price
Prices for the Curvv will be announced on August 7, likely in all its iterations – petrol, diesel and electric. The diesel engine will be the existing 1.5-litre unit from the Nexon, while the EV will be offered with two battery options, more about which you can read here. Tata is also equipping the Curvv with several segment-first features, details of which you can find here. We expect prices for the Curvv to range between Rs 12 lakh-20 lakh, while the electric version could be priced between Rs 16lakh-22 lakh.
