Tata Curvv sales analysis
Tata Motors dispatched 3,455 units of the Curvv in August. With deliveries for the petrol and diesel variants commencing the following month, September dispatches stood at 4,763 units, up 38 percent month-on-month. The exact model-wise split between the ICE and EV variants, however, is not available as yet.
Considering Tata Motors’ passenger vehicle wholesales in August (44,142 units) and September (41,063 units), the Curvv accounted for 8 percent of company’s PV dispatches in August and 11 percent in September. Of the combined August-September dispatches of 85,205 units, the Curvv’s share is 9.64 percent.
The Curvv’s two-month average is a lot higher than the Harrier which averages monthly sales of about 1,700 units, although it is a long way off the Nexon’s 12,000-unit monthly average. It is also a long way off the midsize segment leader, the Creta’s, monthly average of 16,000 units. While it’s still early days, the Curvv, along with the Citroen Basalt, have birthed a new niche of coupe-SUVs in the midsize segment, and it is likely that sales will further rationalize in the coming months for a clearer picture. The multi-powertrain strategy with petrol, diesel and electric is also likely to give it some competitive advantage over rivals.
