New Delhi. Tata's cars are known for their strength and power. On the basis of these features, this car company has made a place in the hearts of customers. Now Tata has set another example of power and strength of its products.
Tata Motors has done another impossible feat. Tata Curvv has succeeded in drawing 48,000 kg Boeing 737 (Boeing 737). This act is a tremendous Mujaira of the engineering capabilities of this car. This is not the first time that this car has done such a feat. Earlier, Karve pulled 3 trucks together. The total weight of these trucks was 42,000 kg.
Tata Curve has achieved another incredible achievement by demonstrating the strength and durability of its Atlas platform and displaying the performance of its new Hyperian 1.2L GDI engine. After pulling three trucks weighing a total of 42,000 kg, Curve draws a Boeing 737 airplane weighing 48,000 kg with fuel. This is the second time when a Tata car drags the airplane to demonstrate its engineering capacity Has been Tata did this for the first time, he pulled the Boeing 737–800 airplane with Tata Hexa. This was an incredible achievement that no opponent dared to repeat. However, Hexa is getting a new challenge from Tata Motors in the form of Karve compact SUV.
The Tata Hexa was a heavy-duties based on heavy-duty ladder-frame chassis and a large 2.2L turbo diesel engine with 400 Nm torque. In comparison, the achievement of Tata Curve is far more impressive as it is based on a monocoque platform and is powered by a 1.2 liter turbo petrol engine with only 225 Nm of torque.

The new Tata Punch EV takes things up a notch from its petrol-powered sibling and is based on the second-generation ActivEV platform promising about 300 km of range.
The Tata Punch EV will go on sale on January 17 and prices are expected to be between ₹11-14 lakh (ex-showroom)
Tata Motors has confirmed the Punch EV is all set to go on sale on January 17, 2024. The Tata Punch EV was unveiled earlier this month and the model will be the brand’s most affordable electric SUV. The new Tata Punch EV takes things up a notch from its petrol-powered sibling and is based on the second-generation Pure EV platform called ActivEV. Pre-bookings for the new Punch EV are already open for a token of ₹21,000.
Tata Punch EV: Styling
The Tata Punch EV looks different from its petrol counterpart getting styling updates as seen on the Nexon EV facelift as well as the Curvv concept. The connected LED DRLs at the front, closed-off grille, slim LED headlamps, all are intended to bring the model in line with Tata’s electric SUV family. The design theme will also be prevalent on the upcoming Harrier EV slated for launch later this year. Other notable changes include new aero alloy wheels, while the rear remains identical with the addition of the new dual-tone bumper.
The Tata Punch EV is expected to get several segment-first features including upgrades over the petrol-powered Punch
Tata Punch EV: Features
The cabin remains under wraps for now but the Punch EV is expected to get the 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system from the Nexon EV facelift. It will also get the new UI, the two-spoke steering wheel with the illuminated Tata logo, a rotary drive selector and more. Expect the model to come with a new control panel for the HVAC unit.
On the feature front, the Punch EV is likely to get a 360-degree camera, leatherette seats with ventilation, electronic parking brake with auto hold, wireless charging, connected car tech, cruise control, a sunroof and more. Tata is also likely to bring the Arcade.ev app to the infotainment system allowing users to download interactive applications.
Tata Punch EV: Range
Built on the second-gen platform, the new Tata Punch EV will be available in standard and long-range versions. Specifications are yet to be revealed but expect to see 25 kWh and 35 kWh battery packs. Charging options will include a 3.3 kW on the standard and a 7.2 kW AC charger on the long-range model. Expect the long-range version to offer a range of about 300 km on a single charge. Tata says the new battery packs will be wider and will come with higher-density cells promising to improve efficiency by 10 per cent.

Expect prices to be in the vicinity of ₹11-14 lakh (ex-showroom) and the Punch EV will primarily take on the Citroen E-C3 in the segment.
Tata Motors introduced the 2023 Nexon facelift earlier this week and prices were announced only for the turbo petrol variants then. The company has now released the complete price list and the subcompact SUV is available in a total of 69 trims across the two engine and four transmission choices.

We drove the Tata Nexon facelift recently and came back impressed with all the upgrades. However, the SUV could also make improvements to the tech and build quality. Make sure to check out our comprehensive review.
Tata also launched the updated Nexon EV facelift, also sporting major upgrades. Interestingly, prices for the new Nexon EV overlap with the Nexon diesel, which should certainly make for an interesting choice for the buyers.
That’s because the 2023 Tata Nexon facelift gets an extensive redesign and a revamped cabin but the engines are the same and so is the platform with its famed global 5-star safety rating. So, what are these updates and do they make a difference to you? We drove the new Nexon facelift in sunny Jaipur to find out.
Watch – Tata Nexon facelift first drive review: Can it set the benchmark higher?
Tata Nexon facelift: Comprehensive new design
The new Nexon has seen extensive changes to its design and features. It’s still based on the X1 platform — the last connection to the famed Indica. It’s only fair then that the Nexon gets to wear the new design theme before all the new Tata models arrive in the future. If you’ve seen the Curvv concept, this will look familiar. The upright stance looks really nice. I like the fact that it does not have an obvious grille, which means Tata is bringing a more centralised design theme to its cars – whether EV or ICE. You will see more familiar styling elements on these cars going forward.
I also like the haunches on the bonnet, they add a nice masculine appeal, plus you get to know where the edges of the car are far better from the driver’s seat. The LED DRLs look very futuristic, and at the same time, they double up as turn indicators. The headlamp unit is a split set-up and is more compact than before.
Updates to the profile are minimal and cleverly done. There’s a new beltline that gives the impression of a longer car, while there are new alloy wheels with aero inserts that seem to be shared from the upcoming Nexon EV facelift. The rear gets a redesign too with the new X-themed LED taillights that are connected by a light bar on the tailgate. There are plenty of angular lines on the new bumper and tailgate, which makes for a busy design overall. It’s still one of the more confusing bits on the Nexon’s exterior. The signature raked windscreen stays the same but the Nexon now gets a longer roof spoiler for better aerodynamics. This also integrates the rear wiper for a clutter-free appearance. Apart from the visual upgrades, the Nexon is offered in new colours including this “Fearless Purple” that’s bound to grab your attention.
The Tata Nexon gets a revised dashboard with a minimalist design theme. Fewer buttons, redesigned air vents and new floating infotainment screens are mainstays
Tata Nexon facelift: New interior
If you like the exterior of the Nexon, the interior should impress you even more. It’s seen big changes. Right from the steering wheel to the dashboard, everything feels new and everything feels premium. The steering wheel is now a two-spoke unit. The centre mimics a gaming console design and sports the illuminated Tata logo, which we are told, is a world-first.
The dashboard has been completely redesigned for a cleaner look. You have a three-step unit with black plastics on the top, carbon-fibre finish in the centre and leather inserts at the bottom. This is also finished in purple on the purple exterior shade, which extends to the seats and door pads as well. The plastics are nice and sturdy and the overall design is minimalistic. You also get wireless charging, a leather-wrapped armrest with some storage space but no visible cupholders. The door pockets can hold one-litre bottles and even an umbrella though.
The front seats get improved cushioning for better lumbar and lateral support. The seats also get ventilation and it worked flawlessly to keep us cool in scorching Jaipur. There’s no change in proportions and the Nexon facelift continues to pack decent space inside. The rear seats are comfortable but lack legroom for tall passengers, while the headroom is decent at best.
The rear passengers now get a seatbelt reminder with a three-point seatbelt for the middle occupant. However, they still miss out on a headrest. Depending on the Persona you choose, the Nexon’s feature list skips a few goodies, especially in the Smart variant. The Pure, Creative and Fearless personas are more loaded in this regard.
The new digital instrument console can also show navigation with the full-screen mode for distraction-free driving. This is a segment-first feature.
Tata Nexon facelift: Tech galore
The Nexon’s cabin has not only seen an aesthetic upgrade, but it’s a lot more tech-friendly as well. That comes from two new displays. There are two new 10.25-inch digital screens. One is for the instrument console and the other is for the infotainment unit. We’ve seen this before on the Nexon EV Max Dark Edition but the bezels are slimmer, so it looks a lot more modern. Both of these units come with a new UI. They are far too easy to use. The graphics are great – nice and crisp – and the colours look equally nice. The new digital console will also show the navigation map like on luxury cars and the feature is certainly impressive.
There are fewer buttons in the cabin overall and the HVAC controls have also been replaced with a touch-based panel at the bottom. You get only 2 toggle switches – AC temperature and blower speed. The feature looks and feels premium but we would’ve liked haptic feedback over here like we see on Land Rover and Audi models. This would’ve made it safer to use on the road.
The feature list continues with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a new 360-degree camera and a blind-view monitor that shows up every time you engage either indicator. The Nexon also gets an air purifier, a 9-speaker JBL sound system, height-adjustable passenger seat and voice commands in seven languages. The system can also take voice commands via Alexa.
The Nexon also gets remote engine start/stop and remote AC features for the first time, both of which can be activated using the app to pre-start the SUV or pre-cool the cabin. On the safety front, the Tata Nexon facelift gets six airbags, ESP, ISOFIX child seat anchor mounts, and hill hold function as standard. The SUV retains its five-star safety tag by the Global NCAP but is yet to get a safety rating under India’s very own Bharat NCAP.
Tata Nexon facelift: Promising new automatic
Tata has updated the powertrain on the new Nexon facelift. The new showstopper
is the 1.2-litre turbo petrol with a dual-clutch automatic alongside the tried and tested 1.5-litre diesel engine. The 1.2-litre turbo petrol continues to make 118 bhp and 170 Nm of peak torque and is paired with 4 gearbox options – a 5-speed manual, a 6-speed manual, a 6-speed AMT and the one we were driving – the 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
The 7-speed DCT with the 1.2 turbo is a nice combination. Most of the power is concentrated in the mid-range and is quite likeable. The engine is responsive and gets the numbers going quickly. If you are looking at highway runs too, this should keep you very happy while making the entire process smooth. Compared to the diesel, the petrol motor is more refined and the NVH levels are way lower. There is turbo lag under 2,000 rpm, which tends to be a bother but the DCT helps mask that effectively. You will still have to work your way around to get the SUV moving. What we would’ve liked is a little more responsiveness at the lower end of the rpm.
The paddle shifters offer more control, especially to combat the turbo lag. The new mono-shifter feels chunky and premium on the DCT version. The steering weighs up nicely and while it may not be as heavy as we’d like at high speeds, the unit is responsive. The new dual-clutch transmission also offers slick shifts and works well for the most part. Body roll is well contained but the shift in weight is immediately apparent around a hard corner. Even then, the Nexon manages to entertain and is an enjoyable experience. You continue to get 3 driving modes – Economy, City and Sport – that tune acceleration accordingly.
Tata Nexon facelift: Diesel supremacy
With the turbo petrol done, It’s now time to move on to the Nexon facelift diesel in this Fiery Red shade. The 1.5-litre diesel engine makes 113 bhp and 260 Nm of peak torque, and we drove the one paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox. All good things on the Nexon and definitely what most users admire if you like a diesel SUV. You also get a 6-speed AMT that brings more convenience. With the diesel engine, it’s a familiar space, there’s a nice power band to play around with. The acceleration in the lower end is amazing and it is quick off the line. If you’ve liked the Nexon diesel, the new one only takes that experience much higher with all the tech on board, complemented by the new design and styling.
The torque-friendly diesel keeps you entertained, especially on open roads. The steering wheel feels a tad heavier at high speeds than the petrol and the clutch is easy to manage in stop-and-go traffic. The diesel engine’s clatter though seeps into the cabin quite easily and Tata could’ve worked on improving the NVH levels here. The Nexon diesel continues to be fuel efficient, something that hasn’t changed.
Tata Nexon facelift: Ride quality?
When it comes to ride quality on the Nexon, Tata has tuned the SUV rather well and it keeps you comfortable on most broken roads and even some nasty potholes. It’s very pliant out on the highway as well as broken patches. The 208 mm ground clearance works wonders to combat challenging terrain and the SUV certainly delivers.
Tata Nexon facelift: What can be better
But not everything remains hunky dory on the Nexon. Quality levels could be better, especially in the cabin. The fit and finesse have seen massive strides but there is scope for improvement in smaller areas like the door grab handles. Certain plastics still feel flimsy, which robs the premium feel the car otherwise has to offer. Our test unit also faced issues with the connecting Android Auto but a hard factory reset resolved the issue. We’re told these concerns will be addressed on the production models.
Tata Nexon facelift: Verdict
Is the new Nexon comprehensively updated enough? The short answer is yes. The design looks fantastic, the interior gets a complete revamp and the changes make it nearly an all-new offering. It now boils down to how much of a price increment will the new Nexon come at. Prices will be announced on September 14. The Nexon’s comprehensive upgrade also comes at a time when the competition has really upped the game.
So Tata had to update its bestseller to keep it formidable against all its rivals. This includes the Maruti Suzuki Brezza, Kia Sonet, Mahindra XUV300, Hyundai Venue and more. The Venue was recently introduced with ADAS, making it the first car in the segment to get the same, which certainly makes things challenging for the Nexon. The Nexon is a massive showcase of improvement in the automaker’s talents and at the right price, this will be another winner, retaining its bestseller tag for more years to come.
Tata Motors reported its sales for the month of August 2023 and the automaker’s domestic volumes stood at 76,261 units when compared to 76,479 units in August 2022.

The Tata Punch CNG is expected to be launched later this month
The Tata Punch will be the first “SUV” from the automaker to get the CNG fuel option. The micro SUV will get the twin-cylinder technology that debuted on the Altroz earlier this year. The twin-cylinder tech cleverly stores two 30-litre CNG tanks under the cargo space where the spare wheel is placed on the petrol version. The spare wheel is mounted under the vehicle instead.
The Tata Punch CNG will come with twin-cylinder technology that brings two 30-litre tanks under the boot space, for a more practical storage solution
The Punch CNG will offer a usable cargo space, which sets it apart from other CNG passenger cars on offer at the moment. The model will also be offered in a host of variants mimicking features from its petrol counterpart. Expect to see all the features carried over including, projector headlamps, 16-inch alloy wheels, an electric sunroof, as well as a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, automatic climate control, six airbags, ABS and more.
Power will come from the detuned version of the 1.2-litre naturally-aspirated petrol engine. The motor also powers the Altroz and is tuned to produce 76 bhp and 97 Nm on the CNG version, while paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox. Pricing and fuel efficiency details will be available closer to the launch. Expect the CNG option to get a hike of ₹50,000-60,000 over the petrol versions.
The Tata Punch CNG comes right in time for the festive season. It will also lock horns against the newly-launched Hyundai Exter CNG while offering an edge over the Nissan Magnite, Renault Kiger, and Maruti Suzuki Ignis in the segment.
कड़े बीएस6 चरण 2 उत्सर्जन मानदंडों ने दूसरों को महंगी एससीआर तकनीक का उपयोग करने के लिए मजबूर किया, लेकिन टाटा ने एक समाधान ढूंढ लिया।
08 जुलाई 2023 08:00:00 पूर्वाह्न पर प्रकाशित
टाटा मोटर्स डीजल इंजनों के मामले में इसे हमेशा सफलता का उचित हिस्सा मिला है। शुरुआती दिनों से ही, मूल सूमो जैसी कारें, सफारी और इंडिका ने डीजल इंजनों की अतिरिक्त टॉर्क और उच्च ईंधन दक्षता की पेशकश की। और जिस बात से बिक्री में मदद मिली, वह यह थी कि टाटा का डीजल किफायती कीमत पर आया था। निश्चित रूप से, ये डीजल इंजन बिल्कुल अत्याधुनिक नहीं थे, और वे कुछ महत्वपूर्ण क्षेत्रों में पिछड़ गए। फिर भी, केवल यह तथ्य कि टाटा मोटर्स प्रतिस्पर्धी कीमत वाली डीजल कारें दे सकती है, जबकि अन्य नहीं कर सकते, ने भारतीय कार निर्माता को बढ़त दिला दी।
आज, टाटा मोटर्स अपडेटेड की शुरूआत के साथ इसी प्रतिस्पर्धात्मक लाभ को आगे बढ़ाना चाह रही है नेक्सन डीजल जो हाल ही में पेश किए गए सख्त बीएस6.2 उत्सर्जन मानदंडों को पूरा करता है, लेकिन फिर भी इसे प्रतिस्पर्धी मूल्य पर प्रबंधित करता है। कैसे? बस पैसिव सेलेक्टिव कैटेलिटिक रिडक्शन नामक तकनीक के लागत प्रभावी टुकड़े का उपयोग करके, जो महंगी, पूर्ण-ऑन एससीआर प्रणाली की आवश्यकता को दूर करता है, जिसके लिए यूरिया टैंक और इंजेक्शन प्रणाली की आवश्यकता होती है।
एससीआर – इसकी आवश्यकता क्यों है? यह कैसे काम करता है और यह महंगा क्यों है?
एससीआर या सेलेक्टिव कैटेलिटिक रिडक्शन एक ऐसी प्रक्रिया है जो नाइट्रोजन के हानिकारक ऑक्साइड के उत्सर्जन को कम करने में मदद करती है। आम तौर पर NOx के रूप में जाना जाता है, जहां .
एक सामान्य एससीआर प्रणाली एक एडब्लू टैंक और इंजेक्टर के माध्यम से नाइट्रोजन के ऑक्साइड में अमोनिया जोड़ती है। परिणाम हानिरहित नाइट्रोजन और जल वाष्प है। पैसिव एससीआर के लिए किसी टैंक या इंजेक्शन प्रणाली की आवश्यकता नहीं है, इसलिए आप बहुत बचत करते हैं।
और यह ऐसा कैसे करता है? एससीआर प्रणाली मूल रूप से NOx में अमोनिया मिलाकर काम करती है, इस प्रकार इसे हानिरहित नाइट्रोजन और जल वाष्प में परिवर्तित करती है। NOx को अमोनिया से डुबाने के लिए एक स्वतंत्र इंजेक्शन प्रणाली का उपयोग किया जाता है जिसे डीजल निकास द्रव या AdBlue कहा जाता है जैसा कि यह लोकप्रिय रूप से जाना जाता है। ऐसा करने के लिए, आपको सिस्टम को चलाने के लिए एक अलग AdBlue टैंक, एक इंजेक्टर, सेंसर, एक पंप, प्लंबिंग, वायरिंग और एक समर्पित ECU की आवश्यकता होगी। संक्षेप में, अपने आप में एक अतिरिक्त टैंक और ईंधन प्रणाली। और मूल रूप से यही कारण है कि एससीआर प्रणाली का उपयोग करने वाले भारत स्टेज 6.2-अनुपालक डीजल बहुत अधिक महंगे हो गए हैं।
निष्क्रिय एससीआर, या टाटा ने महंगे हार्डवेयर का उपयोग करने से कैसे परहेज किया
टाटा मोटर्स के इंजीनियर और कंपोनेंट सप्लायर डेल्फ़ी एक ऐसा समाधान लेकर आए हैं जो AdBlue सिस्टम और इसके साथ आने वाले सभी महंगे हार्डवेयर और सॉफ़्टवेयर को ख़त्म कर देता है। सिस्टम, पहली बार नए नेक्सॉन डीजल पर इस्तेमाल किया गया, अधिक लागत प्रभावी लीन एनओएक्स ट्रैप का उपयोग करता है। एलएनटी, जैसा कि इसे कहा जाता है, ऑक्सीकरण और कमी उत्प्रेरक का उपयोग करता है। जब डीजल इंजन धीमी गति से चलता है तो उत्पन्न NOx फंस जाता है और फिर इंजन को चलाकर अवशोषित सामग्री (बेरियम कार्बोनेट) को पुनर्जीवित किया जाता है। हालाँकि, यह प्रक्रिया भारत स्टेज 6.2 मानदंडों को पूरा करने के लिए पर्याप्त साफ नहीं है, इसलिए टाटा एक निष्क्रिय एससीआर प्रणाली का भी उपयोग करता है जो इंजन दहन के माध्यम से अमोनिया उत्पन्न करने और संग्रहीत करने में मदद करता है।
कच्चे उत्सर्जन को कड़ा करना और कम करना
टाटा द्वारा निष्क्रिय एससीआर का उपयोग एक जटिल मल्टी-स्टेज प्रणाली है जो इंजन के कामकाजी मापदंडों को मजबूत करके शुरू होती है। पावर को 110hp से 115hp तक बढ़ाने के अलावा, Tata इंजीनियरों ने Nexon इंजन से निकलने वाले कच्चे उत्सर्जन को भी कम कर दिया है। यह मुख्य रूप से उस बैंड को कसने के द्वारा किया गया है जिसमें डीजल इंजन संचालित होता है या दहन को बेहतर ढंग से नियंत्रित करता है। और इसका मतलब है उपचार के बाद की प्रणालियों के लिए कम काम।
इंजन में बदलाव व्यापक हैं। बेहतर इंजेक्टर, बेहतर सेंसर और बेहतर सॉफ्टवेयर हैं, और हवा और डीजल के संयोजन का तरीका भी बेहतर है। टाटा मोटर्स के उपाध्यक्ष मोहन सावरकर कहते हैं, ”जिस तरह से इंजन के अंदर जलन होती है, जिस तरह से इंजन के अंदर आग फैलती है, वह सब हमारे पिछले इंजन से काफी हद तक संशोधित किया गया है।” “टर्बोचार्जर ट्रिम में भी सुधार हुआ है, जब हवा अंदर जा रही है तो कंप्रेसर के ब्लेड कैसे व्यवहार करते हैं,” और इससे टाटा को प्रवाह के आकार और मात्रा को नियंत्रित करने की अनुमति मिलती है, जिसके परिणामस्वरूप अधिक इंजन शक्ति होती है।
तो अब दहन बहुत सख्त, बहुत नियंत्रित और बहुत नियंत्रित है।
निष्क्रिय एससीआर: यह कैसे काम करता है
इसके अलावा, टाटा मोटर्स के इंजीनियर थोड़ा अधिक अमोनिया उत्पन्न करने में मदद के लिए इंजन को थोड़े बदले हुए मिश्रण के साथ चलाते हैं। कच्चा डीजल निकास सबसे पहले एलएनटी प्रणाली, डीजल पार्टिकुलेट फिल्टर और एक डीजल ऑक्सीकरण उत्प्रेरक से होकर गुजरता है। सिस्टम सभी NOx और इंजन से निकलने वाले हाइड्रोकार्बन और कणों को रोक लेता है।
इस स्तर पर निकास में कुछ अमोनिया और कुछ NOx रहता है। जैसे ही निकास का स्तंभ आगे बढ़ता है, अमोनिया का कुछ भाग निष्क्रिय एससीआर प्रणाली में जाकर फंस जाता है। तो अगली बार जब कुछ NOx आता है, तो यह इस अमोनिया के साथ मिल जाता है और हानिरहित H2O और N2, या सामान्य नाइट्रोजन में परिवर्तित हो जाता है। इसमें कोई संदेह नहीं है कि यह एक चतुर प्रणाली है, लेकिन स्वीकार्यता के कगार पर है और हैरियर और सफारी जैसे बड़े और भारी अनुप्रयोगों के लिए यह प्रभावी नहीं है। उन्हें अधिक महंगी नियमित एससीआर प्रणाली पर निर्भर रहना पड़ता है। टाटा मोटर्स यह भी जानती है कि यह समाधान 1.5 डीजल को उत्सर्जन नियमों के अगले सेट से बचने में मदद नहीं करेगा। लेकिन यह अस्थायी समाधान भी उन्हें उन प्रतिद्वंद्वियों पर काफी बढ़त दिलाएगा जो पहले ही इस क्षेत्र से पूरी तरह बाहर निकल चुके हैं।
