Tata Curvv EV vs Volkswagen Taigun: which should you buy?
The Volkswagen Taigun starts at ₹11.00L against the Tata Curvv EV's ₹16.99L ex-showroom Delhi, so it is ₹5.99L cheaper to get into.
They run together up to ₹19.00L, where the Taigun 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 Curvv EV comes in electric, the Taigun in petrol.
Same money, which car?
Take ₹19.00L to both showrooms and you come out with the Curvv EV Accomplished X at ₹16.99L or the Taigun GT Plus Chrome at ₹19.00L, the Curvv EV leaving ₹2.01L of that in your pocket.
Our take
The real reason to pay ₹2.01L more for the Taigun GT Plus Chrome: all-wheel disc brakes, SOS emergency call (E-call / B-call) and 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 Taigun GT Plus Chrome: wired CarPlay / Android Auto, auto-folding wing mirrors, rain-sensing wipers and wireless phone charger, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Taigun GT Plus Chrome, 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 ₹2.01L than pay for kit you will not miss, and the EV running costs seal it
- Choose the Volkswagen Taigun GT Plus Chrome if
- You will do long stints in this car and want the daily comforts
