The Maruti Victoris and Tata Curvv come at a similar price point and cost between Rs 10 lakh and Rs 20 lakh

The Maruti Victoris was launched as the newest entrant in the compact SUV space with prices ranging between Rs 10.50 lakh and Rs 19.99 lakh (introductory ex-showroom, pan-India). At this price point, the Tata Curvv happens to be a stylish rival to the Victoris. Both competitors have scored a 5-star safety rating from Bharat NCAP, but does the Maruti SUV prove to be a safer option compared to the Tata SUV-coupe? Let us find out.

Victoris vs Curvv: Bharat NCAP Ratings And Scores

Here are the Bharat NCAP ratings and scores of both the Victoris and Curvv:

Tata Curvv Bharat NCAP

The Tata Curvv SUV-coupe, in its front offset deformable barrier test, offered ‘good’ protection to all parts of the co-driver, except the tibias, which received ‘adequate’ protection. All parts of the driver also received ‘good’ protection, except the tibias – protection to the left tibia was ‘marginal’, while the right tibia received ‘adequate’ protection.

In the side pole impact test, all parts of the driver received ‘good’ safety, but in the side movable deformable barrier test, the Victoris offered ‘adequate’ protection to the passenger’s chest and ‘good’ protection to all other critical parts.

In the child safety tests, the Tata Curvv lost points in the frontal crash tests, where it scored 7.07 points and 7.89 points out of a total of 8 points for both 18-month-old and 3-year-old dummies, respectively. In the side crash tests, however, it scored a full 4 out of 4 points with both dummies.

Takeaways

The above images clearly show that the Maruti Victoris, in the frontal deformable barrier test, offers better safety to both the driver and co-driver, ranging from ‘good’ to ‘adequate’ safety. Compared to this, the Curvv provided ‘marginal’ safety to one of the tibias of driver.  While both rivals offer ‘good’ safety to all parts of the occupant in the side pole impact test, the Victoris imitates this in the side movable deformable barrier test, which is not the case with the Curvv. All of this explains the Tata SUV-coupe falling behind the Maruti compact SUV in terms of adult safety.

In the COP tests, the Curvv loses points in the frontal crash tests involving both dummies. But the Victoris does not lose any points in either frontal or side collisions. However, the reason why it has a marginally lower overall child safety score compared to the Curvv is because of its lower numbers in the vehicle assessment criteria.
