Same money, which car?
Take ₹19.49L to both showrooms and you come out with the Compass Sport at ₹17.99L or the Curvv EV Empowered X Dark at ₹19.49L, the Compass leaving ₹1.50L of that in your pocket.
Our take
The real reason to pay ₹1.50L more for the Curvv EV Empowered X Dark: level 2 (core suite) ADAS, 360° camera and blind spot monitor. The useful extras on top: touchscreen (12.3" against 8.4") and connected car tech. The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- The Curvv EV is electric, so it will be the cheapest of these to run
- Also on the Curvv EV Empowered X Dark: JBL premium sound system, panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats and vehicle-to-load (V2L), and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Curvv EV Empowered X Dark, you give up all-wheel disc brakes, frequency-selective dampers and 60:40 split rear seat, which the Compass Sport keeps
- Choose the Jeep Compass Sport if
- You would rather keep the ₹1.50L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the Tata Curvv EV Empowered X Dark if
- You will do long stints in this car and want the daily comforts
