Verdict: Both EVs are similar, though the price range makes Maruti Suzuki a better choice. We would recommend visiting the showrooms and comparing properly. The Curvv.ev also has more interior space while the e-Vitara can feel a bit cramped for the second row.
Final Verdict
Maruti Suzuki has been exporting the e-Vitara globally and have had an okay response. It is not a bad car, it just lacks all the things that make the Grand Vitara such a good option for the Indian market. The BaaS option makes this significantly cheaper than Tata.
Tata Curvv EV is undoubtedly a good choice, with decent space and interior comfort. Paired with a lifetime battery warranty for the first owners, it is a viable option for daily and long-term usage.
Ultimately, the choice is yours. Both cars are great for daily usage and are relatively budget friendly.
