Skoda Kushaq vs Tata Curvv EV: which should you buy?
The Skoda Kushaq starts at ₹10.69L against the Tata Curvv EV's ₹16.99L ex-showroom Delhi, so it is ₹6.30L cheaper to get into.
They run together up to ₹18.99L, where the Kushaq tops out. Past that only the Curvv EV has anything left to sell you, up to ₹19.49L.
Fuel is a real difference here: the Kushaq comes in petrol, the Curvv EV in electric.
Same money, which car?
Take ₹18.99L to both showrooms and you come out with the Kushaq Monte Carlo at ₹18.99L or the Curvv EV Accomplished X at ₹16.99L, the Curvv EV leaving ₹2.00L of that in your pocket.
Our take
The real reason to pay ₹2.00L more for the Kushaq Monte Carlo: ventilated front seats. The useful extras on top: 6-way powered driver seat and front parking sensors. 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 Kushaq Monte Carlo: wired CarPlay / Android Auto, auto-folding wing mirrors, rain-sensing wipers and wireless phone charger, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Kushaq Monte Carlo, you give up touchscreen (12.3" against 10.1"), drive modes and electronic parking brake + auto hold, which the Curvv EV Accomplished X keeps
- Choose the Tata Curvv EV Accomplished X if
- You would rather keep the ₹2.00L than pay for kit you will not miss, and the EV running costs seal it
- Choose the Skoda Kushaq Monte Carlo if
- You will do long stints in this car and want the daily comforts
