Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.20L more for the Curvv EV Empowered X Dark: level 2 (core suite) ADAS, 360° camera and blind spot monitor. The useful extras on top: vehicle-to-load (V2L) and speakers (9 against 6). The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- Only the Mahindra XUV 7XO seats 7, worth knowing if you need the space
- The Curvv EV swallows the most luggage at 500 litres
- The Curvv EV is electric, so it will be the cheapest of these to run
- Also on the Curvv EV Empowered X Dark: tyre pressure monitor, JBL system with Dolby Atmos, ventilated front seats and electronic parking brake + auto hold, and some minor trim beyond that
- Choose the Mahindra XUV 7XO AX5 if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.20L 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
