Tata Returns to SA

Tata Curvv (2025) Price & Specs

The Tata Curvv is the returning Indian automaker’s take on a coupé-style crossover, complete with turbopetrol power. Here’s what the newcomer costs in South Africa…

- New Curvv coupé-style crossover starts at R349 900
- 3 derivatives, each powered by a 1.2T petrol engine
- 6-speed manual gearbox or 7-speed dual-clutch

Tata’s return to South Africa’s new passenger-vehicle market comes courtesy of 4 models, with the Tata Curvv perhaps the most unorthodox of the quartet. Though it plays in the crossover space, the Curvv features an exaggerated coupé-style roofline.

So, what does it cost? Well, Tata has announced that the local Curvv portfolio comprises 3 derivatives at launch. The line-up kicks off with the Curvv 1.2T Pure+ 6MT, priced at R349 900.

Next comes the Curvv 1.2T Creative 7DCT for R419 900, with the Curvv 1.2T Accomplished S 7DCT completing the range at R519 900. While the base variant comes with a 6-speed manual gearbox, the mid-tier and top-spec derivatives each feature a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. A 5-year/125 000 km warranty and a 3-year/45 000 km service plan is included as standard.

All 3 variants employ a turbocharged 1.2-litre, 3-cylinder petrol engine that delivers 88 kW and 170 Nm to the front wheels. When equipped with a manual cog-swapper, the Curvv’s fuel consumption is a claimed 5.7 L/100 km, a figure that increases to a listed 6.1 L/100 km in the case of the dual-clutch derivatives.

Review: 2025 Tata Tiago

What does the Tata Tiago cost?

Tata Tiago 1.2 XM MT – R184 900
Tata Tiago 1.2 XT MT – R209 900
Tata Tiago 1.2 XT AMT – R224 900

The Tiago is sold with a five-year/125 000 km warranty and a two-year/30 000 km service plan. Backed by Motus Holdings, Tata Motors has stated that while it will initially operate out of 40 dealerships across South Africa, while this number is set to increase to at least 70 over the next two years.

Verdict

Broadly speaking, I like that Tata’s reintroduction into the South African market includes both bold (Motus-backed) plans for capturing “up to 8% of the local passenger-car market”, but also that, like compatriot brand Mahindra, this proudly Indian manufacturer’s modern product portfolio includes ground-up designs, technology and thinking.

The appeal of the Tiago, especially in XT trim, lies in a compelling standard specification list that includes modern safety systems, its roomy interior (including 242 litres of luggage space) and a powertrain that allows for admirable performance and corresponding efficiency, especially at altitude.

Tata Tiago 1.2 XT MT specifications

Price: R209 900
Powertrain: 1.2-litre, three-cylinder, petrol
Transmission: 5-speed manual
Driven wheels: front
Power: 63 kW @ 6000 r/min
Torque: 113 N.m @ 3 300 r/min
Top speed: n/a
Fuel consumption: 5.0 L/100km (claimed)
CO2 emissions: 119 g/km

Worse pricing, worse warranty and worse service plan.
And worse passive safety. Tiago and Punch has only 2 airbags across the range. Product planning clowns at Tata SA can’t see their a$$ from their elbow it seems. Mahindra knocks them into the weeds.
 
2025 Tata Harrier in SA: Price & Specs

Spearheading Tata’s newly introduced South African passenger-car lineup, the Harrier SUV has arrived in SA. See pricing and specs below.

Recently, following a six-year hiatus, Tata made its return to the South African passenger-car market, with the Indian automaker kicking off its local operations with the introduction of four models: the Tiago budget-oriented hatchback, which we’ve sampled before the official local SA launch, Punch pocket-friendly compact crossover, Curvv coupé-styled SUV, and the SUV you see here – the Harrier.

Positioned as the flagship offering in the firm’s initial SA lineup, the Harrier is available in three guises: Pure + AT, Adventure + A AT, and Fearless + AT – each employing a 2.0-litre turbodiesel engine, which was assembled under license of the Stellantis Group. Exclusively coupled with a six-speed torque converter automatic transmission, the Kryotec unit produces 125 kW and 350 N.m of torque.

Tata Harrier (2025) Price & Specs

As the Indian brand returns to SA’s passenger-vehicle market, the Tata Harrier slots in as its flagship SUV (for now). Here’s what this turbodiesel model costs…

- Harrier tops Tata’s line-up as brand returns to SA
- 3 derivatives in local range, priced from R549 900
- 2.0-litre turbodiesel delivers 125 kW and 350 Nm

The Tata Harrier assumes the role of flagship (for now, anyway) as the Indian brand marks its return to South Africa’s new passenger-vehicle market. So, what does this new-to-Mzansi turbodiesel SUV cost?

Well, the local range comprises a trio of derivatives at launch, each powered by 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder turbodiesel engine delivering 125 kW and 350 Nm to the front wheels via a 6-speed automatic transmission. The listed fuel consumption is 6.6 L/100 km.

The line-up starts with the Harrier 2.0TD Pure+ 6AT, which is priced at R549 900. Upgrading to the Harrier 2.0TD Adventure+ 6AT takes the price to R649 900, while the Harrier 2.0TD Fearless+ 6AT tops the portfolio at R699 900. All prices include a 5-year/125 000 km warranty and a 5-year/75 000 km service plan.

Measuring 4 605 mm from front to back, the 5-seater Harrier – which has been around in its domestic market since 2019, benefitting from a facelift in 2023 – is a little longer than the Volkswagen Tiguan (4 539 mm) but shorter than the outgoing Toyota RAV4 (4 615 mm). Tata claims a luggage capacity of 445 litres. Interestingly, the Harrier is based on a re-engineered version of the platform underpinning models like the Discovery Sport (remember, Jaguar Land Rover is owned by Tata Motors).
