The Indian electric SUV market is heating up rapidly, and two of the most anticipated midsize electric SUVs are the Maruti Suzuki E-Vitara and the Tata Curvv EV. Both vehicles target urban buyers who want long range, modern features, and strong brand trust—yet their philosophies are very different. E-Vitara vs. Curvv EV
The Tata Curvv EV Empowered Plus A 55 kW leans toward a bold design, premium features, and lifestyle-focused technology. On the other hand, the Maruti Suzuki E-Vitara (61 kW – Alpha/Zeta variants) focuses on practicality, space optimisation, safety, and Maruti’s unmatched service network.
With similar pricing expectations, comparable real-world range, and overlapping feature sets, the choice between these two EVs is not straightforward. Let’s break them down variant by variant and see which electric SUV truly delivers better value.
Top Variant Face-Off
Curvv EV Empowered Plus A 55 kW vs Maruti Suzuki E-Vitara 61 kW (Alpha/Zeta)
Price Battle
The Tata Curvv EV Empowered Plus A 55 kW is priced at ₹21.99 lakh (ex-showroom).
The Maruti Suzuki E-Vitara top variants have not yet been officially announced, but current expectations place them at around ₹20 lakh, undercutting the Curvv EV by nearly ₹2 lakh.
From a pricing perspective, Maruti is clearly aiming to stay aggressive, positioning the E-Vitara as a more accessible electric SUV without compromising on core capabilities.
Price Advantage: Maruti Suzuki E-Vitara
Features Comparison
Range & Battery Performance
- Curvv EV ARAI Range: 585 km
- E-Vitara ARAI Range: 543 km
On paper, the Curvv EV offers a higher certified range. However, in real-world driving conditions, both SUVs deliver similar performance:
- Curvv EV real-world range: 400–420 km
- E-Vitara real-world range: ~400 km
The difference here is negligible for daily urban and highway use.
Motor Power & Torque
- Curvv EV Motor Power: 123 kW
- E-Vitara Motor Power: 126 kW
- Curvv EV Torque: 215 Nm
- E-Vitara Torque: 193 Nm
The Curvv EV produces noticeably higher torque, translating to stronger initial acceleration and a more engaging drive in city traffic. The E-Vitara, however, compensates with slightly higher motor output and smoother power delivery.
Charging Capability
- Curvv EV:
- 7 kW AC
- 70 kW DC fast charging
- E-Vitara:
- 11 kW AC
- 70 kW DC fast charging
The 11 kW AC charger on the E-Vitara is a major advantage for home and office charging, significantly reducing overnight charging time compared to the Curvv EV.
Space, Dimensions & Practicality
| Parameter | Curvv EV | E-Vitara |
|---|---|---|
| Length | 4310 mm | 4275 mm |
| Width | 1810 mm | 1800 mm |
| Height | 1637 mm | 1635 mm |
| Wheelbase | 2560 mm | 2700 mm |
| Ground Clearance | 186 mm | 180 mm |
The E-Vitara’s longer wheelbase (2700 mm) translates into better rear-seat legroom and stability, even though the Curvv EV is marginally taller and longer.
Boot & Storage
- Curvv EV:
- Boot: 500 litres
- Frunk: 11 litres
- E-Vitara:
- Boot: 306 litres
- Frunk: Not available
The Curvv EV clearly wins in cargo capacity, making it more suitable for long trips and luggage-heavy use.
Technology & Comfort Highlights
Best of E-Vitara:
- 7 airbags
- 10-way power-adjustable seats
- All windows one-touch up/down
- Sliding & reclining rear seats (up to 20°)

Top Variant Winner: Tie, depending on whether you prioritise premium features (Curvv EV) or practical ownership (E-Vitara).
Base Variant Face-Off
Price Battle
While official base-variant prices for the E-Vitara are still awaited, Maruti is expected to price the entry-level variant significantly lower than the Curvv EV lineup.
Tata’s Curvv EV base trims are expected to remain premium-focused, whereas Maruti traditionally keeps base variants highly competitive.
Price Advantage: Maruti Suzuki E-Vitara
Features Comparison
In base variants, Maruti is likely to offer:
- Strong safety package
- Better seat flexibility
- Practical cabin layout
Tata may still retain:
- Bigger screen
- Better audio quality
- More visual flair
However, many Curvv EV highlights (panoramic sunroof, JBL audio, powered tailgate) are top-variant exclusive, reducing its value advantage in base trims.
Verdict — Winner in Base Variant
For budget-conscious EV buyers entering the segment:
Winner: ✅ Maruti Suzuki E-Vitara
Price Overview
- Tata Curvv EV Empowered Plus A 55 kW: ₹21.99 lakh
- Maruti Suzuki E-Vitara (Expected): ~₹20 lakh
Maruti’s pricing strategy could make the E-Vitara one of the most affordable long-range electric SUVs in its class.
Final Verdict
The Tata Curvv EV is ideal for buyers who want a stylish, feature-rich electric SUV with a premium cabin experience and practical luggage space.
The Maruti Suzuki E-Vitara is better suited for buyers who value long-term ownership, safety, charging convenience, and everyday practicality, backed by Maruti’s unmatched service ecosystem.
