The BE 6e is priced more than the Curvv EV, leaving the question of whether it justifies the additional cost or not.

The Tata Curvv EV was a fresh SUV-coupe in the market but not for long, as the Mahindra BE 6e triggered flares among enthusiasts with its sharp cuts and creases and a fighter jet-inspired cabin. It's nothing like the usual as you might expect. Both Indian electric SUVs are well-equipped in their own ways, and if you’re looking for an electric SUV around the ₹20 lakh mark for now, these two are likely on your radar.

While we’ve compared their claimed ranges previously, this time, we’re putting them up against each other for a detailed specifications comparison. Let’s see how they stack up.

We’ll have to wait longer for the full price list of the BE 6e, which is expected to be announced at the Bharat Mobility Expo in January 2025. Both electric SUVs currently carry introductory price tags, and based on the starting prices, it’s clear that the BE 6e’s higher variants will command a significant premium, surpassing the top-spec price of the Curvv EV.

Despite both being compact SUVs, the BE 6e is notably larger than the Curvv EV in every dimension, except height. However, the Curvv EV does offer a larger boot space allowing you to pack in more luggage on drives. The BE 6e compensates on this bit with its bigger frunk space.

Mahindra BE 6e vs Tata Curvv EV: Who Wins?

While both electric SUVs bring an impressive set of features and unique designs to the table, it's not really a two way battle. Being direct rivals, the Mahindra BE 6e stands out with its unconventional innovation and premium features, though that asks for a higher cost too, which in our opinion is justifiable, considering the brilliant package on offer.

If you’re after something bold and groundbreaking, the BE 6e delivers a never-before-seen look that’s sure to turn heads. That said, its futuristic design might also feel a bit alien for some, especially families or non-enthusiasts. So, if you’re looking for a SUV coupe with a more conventional yet unique design alongside decent range, the Tata Curvv EV might be your pick.
