Tata Curvv EV vs rivals: features compared

Tata Motors’ fifth electric offering in the mass-market segment, the upcoming Curvv EV, would go head-to-head with MG ZS EV, the only midsize electric SUV sold in India. The company is looking to differentiate the Curvv EV not only with its coupe-like design but also with a feature-loaded cabin. A recently leaked brochure has revealed all the equipment that the Curvv EV will have. Let’s take a close look at how it compares against rivals.

1. Curvv EV to share its interior with Nexon EV
2. Gets segment-first powered tail gate with gesture control
3. Other highlights include 12.3-inch touchscreen, ADAS suite

While the Curvv EV’s closest competitor in this segment will be the MG ZS EV, its lower variants will also have a price overlap with the Mahindra XUV400.

Tata Curvv EV equipment highlights

The Curvv EV shares its interior with the Nexon EV, and naturally, a lot of features have been carried over, too. These include a 12.3-inch infotainment screen with the Arcade.ev app suite, a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, ventilated seats in front, a JBL sound system, a 360-degree camera, a wireless charger, smartphone integration and a touch-based HVAC panel.

The model’s top-spec variants will also offer a powered tail gate with gesture control, a panoramic sunroof with ambient lighting, flush door handles, vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-load (V2L) charging capabilities, powered front seats and an ADAS suite. 

Tata Curvv EV vs Mahindra XUV400’s features

The Curvv EV will get several features that the XUV400 lacks. At both front and rear, it has connecting LED light bars with welcome and goodbye animation that doubles up as a charging indicator. It also gets projector LED headlamps, sequential turn indicators, larger 18-inch alloy wheels, ambient lighting, panoramic sunroof, map-view on the digital instrument cluster, powered and ventilated front seats, recline function for the rear seats, a powered tail gate and an ADAS suite.

The XUV400 also misses out on V2V and V2L capabilities and paddle shifters for regenerative braking. Its prices range between Rs 15.49 lakh and Rs 19.39 lakh (ex-showroom). Given all the extra features the Curvv EV packs, it would likely have a more premium positioning than the XUV400.

Tata Curvv EV vs MG ZS EV’s features

Even though the MG ZS EV sits a segment above the XUV400, it still misses out on some notable features. The ZS EV has projector LED headlamps and LED tail-lights, but not the connecting light bar. It gets a powered driver’s seat but misses out on the ventilation function. Other misses include ambient lighting, sequential indicators, powered tail gate and the recline function for rear seats. Lastly, while the ZS EV comes with an ADAS suite, it doesn’t have features such as lane following assist and rear collision warning.

The ZS EV is priced in Rs 18.98 lakh to Rs 25.44 lakh (ex-showroom) range, and we expect the Curvv EV to fall in the same ballpark. Prices for the Curvv EV and its petrol and diesel variants are slated to be announced on August 7.
