Maruti e Vitara vs Tata Curvv EV: Which EV Makes More Sense?

We recently got a new compact electric SUV, the Maruti Suzuki e Vitara. It is the carmaker’s first go at a proper all-electric offering and is taking on some established rivals, one of which is the Tata Curvv electric SUV-coupe. In this story, we compare the technical and other key specifications of the Maruti EV and the Tata Curvv EV:

Maruti e Vitara vs Tata Curvv EV: Prices

• The e Vitara is more affordable than the Curvv EV when the full prices are considered.

• Maruti has positioned the entry-level variant of the e Vitara to be more affordable than the corresponding variant of the Curvv EV by around Rs 1.5 lakh.

• Even at the top end, the e Vitara is more affordable than the Tata EV by over Rs 2 lakh.

• Under the battery rental scheme for the e Vitara, you need to pay a battery usage fee of Rs 3.99 per km with the smaller battery and Rs 4.39 per km with its larger battery. This makes it an even more budget friendly proposition against the Curvv EV.

Maruti e Vitara vs Tata Curvv EV: Dimensions

• While the Curvv EV is longer and wider by 35 mm and 10 mm, respectively, over the e Vitara, the latter is slightly taller and has a relatively longer wheelbase of 140 mm.

• If you want to compare how the Maruti EV stacks up against the Hyundai Creta Electric, we have covered that in a separate story, too.

Maruti e Vitara vs Tata Curvv EV: Colour Options

• The e Vitara has the maximum colourway options between the two EVs here.

• While it comes in only four dual-tone paint shades, the Curvv EV gets the choice of a black roof with all five monotone colours depending on the variant chosen.

• We had already covered the 10 colourway choices in detail when the e Vitara was revealed at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo in early 2025.

Maruti e Vitara vs Tata Curvv EV: Features

• Both Maruti and Tata have loaded their respective compact electric offerings with bucketloads of new-age features. Common equipment includes a 10.25-inch digital driver’s display, ventilated front seats, wireless smartphone charger, and automatic climate control.

• The e Vitara does have some small but functional feature advantages over the Curvv EV which include telescopic adjustment for the steering wheel, auto up/down for all windows, a 10-speaker sound system, seven airbags, and even cornering control.

• That said, the Curvv EV also draws a few brownie points of its own by way of cornering function for the front LED fog lamps, an air purifier, paddle shifters, a larger 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and hill-descent control.

• Thankfully, both are more well rounded packages when their safety tech is considered. Both come with ESC, front and rear parking sensors, a 360-degree camera, TPMS, and even Level-2 ADAS.

Maruti e Vitara vs Tata Curvv EV: Powertrain Details

• Both the EVs come with a single electric motor, but it’s the e Vitara that gets larger battery pack options in both the versions offered in India.

• While the e Vitara’s larger battery pack version is the more powerful of the two, it’s the Curvv EV’s powertrain with the smaller battery pack option that is the more powerful of the two.

• When the torque figures of the two EVs are considered, it’s the Curvv EV whose powertrain makes the highest figure.

• That said, it’s the e Vitara that has a relatively higher claimed range figure compared to the corresponding versions of Tata’s electric SUV-coupe.

• We have also compared the technical specifications and other important details of the Maruti e Vitara with those of the MG Windsor EV extensively in a separate story.

Maruti e Vitara vs Tata Curvv EV: Charging Options

• Since the e Vitara’s battery packs are larger compared to the corresponding versions of the Curvv EV, its larger unit takes longer to charge using an AC fast charger. Also, while Maruti offers a 7.4 kW charging option, the Curvv EV comes with a 7.2 kW unit.

• The DC fast charging speed is also quicker on the Curvv EV compared to the e Vitara, both of which come with a 70 kW charging rate.

CarDekho Says…

Although late to the EV party, the Maruti Suzuki e Vitara is a well-rounded package for new and first-time EV buyers with a claimed range of more than 500 km. While its in-cabin space might be a let-down for some owners, the elongated features set and a balanced drive do make up for it.

The Curvv EV, on the other hand, stands out due to its SUV-coupe design and generous boot space on offer. Although it may lose out on some practical bits and rear seat comfort, it comes with multiple battery pack options with up to 400 km of real-world range, making it a compelling choice for those seeking a compact electric vehicle.
