The Indian EV market is heating up, and two of the most exciting contenders in the mid-size electric SUV segment are the Tata Curvv EV and the Mahindra XUV400 EV. Both aim to strike a balance between futuristic design, long range, and affordability, making them strong choices for buyers looking to make the switch to electric mobility. Let’s break down how these two EVs compare.
1. Design and Styling
The Tata Curvv EV embraces a coupe-SUV design, offering a sleeker and sportier stance. With its futuristic LED lighting, sharp character lines, and premium interiors, it feels more like a concept car brought to life.
On the other hand, the Mahindra XUV400 EV follows a more conventional SUV design language. It looks rugged, muscular, and practical, staying close to Mahindra’s SUV DNA while still offering modern touches like copper accents and EV-specific styling.
2. Performance and Range
The Tata Curvv EV is expected to deliver a range of around 500 km on a single charge, thanks to Tata’s latest-gen Ziptron technology and a larger battery pack. It will also support DC fast charging, allowing up to 80% charge in under an hour.
The Mahindra XUV400 EV currently offers two variants — one with a 375 km range and another with up to 456 km. It also supports fast charging, but its range is slightly less compared to the expected numbers from the Curvv EV.
3. Features and Technology
Tata is packing the Curvv EV with advanced features like a digital cockpit, panoramic sunroof, connected car technology, ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), and premium interiors.
The XUV400 EV offers a decent feature set including a 7-inch infotainment system with Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, connected car features, six airbags, and drive modes, but it lags behind in terms of high-end features when compared to the Curvv.
4. Pricing and Availability
The Mahindra XUV400 EV is already available in India with prices starting at ₹15.99 lakh (ex-showroom). This makes it one of the most affordable long-range EV SUVs in the market today.
The Tata Curvv EV is expected to launch in 2025, with prices likely starting from around ₹20 lakh.
If you need an EV right now, the Mahindra XUV400 EV is a solid and proven choice, offering practicality, reliability, and affordability.
But if you can wait until 2025, the Tata Curvv EV promises a futuristic design, superior range, and advanced features, making it a better long-term bet.
Both SUVs represent how India’s EV landscape is evolving, giving customers exciting choices at competitive prices.
