The Maruti e-Vitara comes with larger battery packs compared to the Curvv. However, while the bigger battery provides more power to its motor, this doesn’t translate to higher torque output. In contrast, the Curvv EV, with its smaller battery pack, is expected to deliver a more engaging and sportier driving experience.
All things considered, the Maruti e Vitara and Tata Curvv EV, despite both being compact electric SUVs, cater to different buyer preferences. While the Curvv EV appeals to those looking to stand out, the e Vitara adds salt as needed to suit the tastes of the masses. As a result, it is likely to be received more favourably than Tata’s contender.
