August 12th, 2024


Tata Nexon, which sits below the Curvv that was launched recently, is about to get a major update from its elder sibling - the Tata Curvv ICE. The Curvv ICE was revealed on 7 August, and every single detail was also showcased except its pricing, unlike the Curvv.ev. This big Nexon update will make the sub-4-meter SUV a much appealing product overall, and will also attract more buyers.

 

What is the Nexon getting from the Curvv Diesel?

Post the Curvv launch event, Tata Motors has been waiting for September 2, 2024. What will happen on September 2, 2024? As the Curvv.ev was launched a few days ago on 7 August, Tata Motors did not launch the Curvv ICE alongside. The brand, rather, decided to keep intervals between both launches. 

But, the details of the Curvv ICE have been fully revealed except for the Curvv’s price. One of those details also confirmed that all of Curvv’s engine options will have the brand’s DCT ( Dual Clutch Transmission ) Gearbox, which Tata Motors calls - DCA Gearbox. This DCA Gearbox was introduced in the Nexon and Altroz’s Petrol variants. It was the first time that Tata cars had a DCT Gearbox fitted. 


Now, recently, Tata Motors’ website leaked valuable information regarding the Tata Nexon. It showcased that the Nexon was having a DCA Gearbox option with its 1.5 L Diesel Engine. This leak highly speculates that Tata Motors might soon launch a DCA Gearbox in the Nexon Diesel variants. This will also make the Nexon Diesel, the first Tata car with a Diesel engine to have a DCA Gearbox. 


This DCA Gearbox will be a 7-speed unit that will make the Gearshifts of the transmission smooth and quick. It will be quite expensive though, as the whole mechanism is much better than Torque Converter, AMT, or CVT Gearboxes.
