Maruti e Vitara vs Tata Curvv EV compared: Which should you buy?

Maruti Suzuki launched its first-ever pure-electric model, the e Vitara, in February 2026. On the other hand, Tata Motors rolled out the Curvv EV in November 2024. If you are in the market for a midsize electric SUV priced in the neighbourhood of Rs 20 lakh (ex-showroom), which one of these should you seriously consider and why? To keep this comparison fair, we will pit the similarly priced e Vitara Alpha trim with the Curvv EV’s Accomplished+ S.

The standout features on the exterior of the top-spec Maruti e Vitara Alpha trim include Y-shaped LED daytime running lights (DRLs), 18-inch alloys, a rear windscreen wiper with a wash function and up to 10 colour options. In comparison, the Tata Curvv EV Accomplished+ S trim offers more modern sequential turn indicators but comes with smaller 17-inch rims. On a side note, while a powered tailgate isn’t offered even on the fully loaded e Vitara, it is available on the top-spec Curvv Empowered+ trim, which is the one above the Accomplished+ S trim mentioned here.

Cabin features that the top-spec e Vitara offers (but the Curvv EV lacks) include a 10-way powered driver’s seat, tilt and telescopic steering adjustment, plus sliding and multi-step reclining rear seats with a 40:20:40 backrest folding function for enhanced practicality. The Maruti EV also gets a multi-colour ambient lighting system, a premium-branded audio rig, ventilated front seats and four USB outlets.

The Curvv EV, however, gains a slightly larger touchscreen, along with full-leatherette upholstery and a two-pane panoramic sunroof that can be opened. Furthermore, Tata’s electric SUV adds the convenience of a cooled glove box and rear sunshades.

The Maruti e Vitara’s safety kit is quite similar to the Curvv EV’s, save for an additional airbag, the Acoustic Vehicle Alert System (AVAS) and Level 2 ADAS. The main use of AVAS is to alert pedestrians and cyclists of the EV’s presence. On the other hand, the Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) in the e Vitara Alpha trim tie in adaptive cruise control, front collision warning, auto-emergency braking, blind-spot warning, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-departure warning with lane-departure prevention and adaptive high-beam assist.

Aside from lacking ADAS, the Accomplished+ S trim of the Tata Curvv EV also does not get an acoustic warning system or the added benefit of a driver-side knee airbag. However, the Curvv EV does offer hill-descent control that may come in handy when descending steep terrain. One modern safety feature that both these cars lack is a built-in dashcam.

Coming to their miscellaneous features, it is the Curvv EV that brings a bit more to the table. While both cars get multiple drive modes and support single-pedal driving, the Tata SUV also offers paddleshifters to control brake regen plus vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-load (V2L) functions. The latter can be useful during camping trips or if another EV’s battery pack requires some topping up in an emergency.

The e Vitara’s larger battery affords it slightly more range and a higher peak power figure, but the Curvv EV produces more torque. This also explains the latter’s 0-100kph time of 8.6 seconds, as opposed to the e Vitara’s 9.25 seconds. Furthermore, the Curvv EV’s 55kWh battery pack charges faster, be it via AC or DC.

Conclusion

The fully loaded Alpha trim of the Maruti e Vitara ranges from Rs 19.79 lakh to Rs 20.01 lakh, depending on the paint finish. Meanwhile, the Accomplished+ S trim of the Tata Curvv EV with the larger 55kWh battery pack starts at Rs 19.99 lakh. Notwithstanding its generous features on paper, the Maruti e Vitara has a firm yet unsettled ride with noticeable body movements, along with plenty of wind and tyre noise at higher speeds and an overall compromised rear-occupant and cargo space. Therefore, if you want a stylish midsize electric SUV that combines usable convenience and safety features, the Curvv EV is worth a closer look.

Prices mentioned are ex-showroom, Delhi.

New Maruti Dzire spy shots show first in segment sunroof

Not too long after all-new Maruti Suzuki Dzire was first spied in India, the upcoming compact sedan has been spotted again. This time, the Dzire is winter testing in Himachal Pradesh, and the spy shots reveal that it’ll sport a segment-first at launch – a sunroof. New Maruti Dzire likely to be the most feature-rich compact sedan It’ll share most of its mechanicals with the Swift hatchback Dzire CNG is expected to arrive soon after the standard model 2024 Maruti Dzire interior highlights, features, exterior Until now, we expected the Dzire compact sedan have more or less the same features set as the new and upcoming Swift . The addition of the sunroof will definitely set the Maruti apart in the segment, though whether the new Swift will also receive it is yet unknown. In international right-hand-drive markets, such as the UK and Japan, the new-gen Swift does not get a sunroof. In top-spec form, the Dzire is likely to be the best equipped model in its class thanks to the sunroof...
