Verdict
Both BE 6 and Curvv EV are very interesting and value-for-money electric SUV options for what they have to offer. If you are someone who can afford higher-spec variants of the BE 6, then we would recommend opting for it. However, if your budget is strictly around the Rs 22 lakh budget then the Curvv EV should also be considered. The Curvv EV packs more features that you would appreciate on a daily basis. But, if you want more performance and a slightly greater claimed range, then the BE 6 should be your pick. Both these SUVs are 5-star rated in terms of safety, so there is nothing to worry about in terms of safety.
