Tata Harrier EV vs Tata Curvv EV: Which 22 lakh EV will you pick

While the Harrier EV enters the market as Tata’s flagship electric SUV, the Curvv EV targets buyers looking for a more futuristic design and tech-forward experience. The slight price difference between the Harrier EV base variant and the Curvv EV top line variant, puts the two EVs in direct competition, though they differ significantly in size, performance, and features. Tata Harrier EV vs Tata Curvv EV: DimensionsThe Tata Harrier EV is significantly larger than the Curvv EV in all measurable aspects. It is 4,607 mm long, 1,922 mm wide, and 1,740 mm tall. In comparison, the Curvv EV is 4,310 mm long, 1,810 mm wide, and 1,637 mm high. The Harrier’s longer wheelbase of 2,741 mm, as opposed to the Curvv’s 2,560 mm, makes for a more spacious cabin experience.

Check details Though both share very similar boot space—a 500-litre capacity—the Harrier EV gets a slight edge at 502 litres. Additionally, when it comes to extra storage space, the Harrier’s more practical frunk, or front trunk, has 67 litres of capacity. That is far in excess of the Curvv’s tiny 11.6-litre frunk and makes the Harrier better suited to long-distance driving or bigger families. Tata Harrier EV vs Tata Curvv EV: SpecsThe Harrier EV Adventure comes equipped with a 65 kWh battery pack that powers a rear-mounted electric motor, delivering 238 PS of power. In contrast, the Curvv EV Empowered Plus A uses a smaller 55 kWh battery and features a front-wheel-drive layout. Its motor produces 167 PS and 215 Nm of torque, which is sufficient for most city and highway needs but falls short of the Harrier EV’s power output. While the official range figures for the Harrier EV’s 65 kWh variant haven’t been released yet, Tata is also offering a 75 kWh version that claims a range of up to 627 km (MIDC). Based on this, the smaller battery is still expected to deliver more range than the Curvv EV, which claims a respectable 502 km on a full charge. Charging times also differ. The Harrier EV supports 120 kW DC fast charging, allowing it to charge from 20 to 80 percent in around 25 minutes. On the other hand, the Curvv EV can recharge from 10 to 80 percent in about 40 minutes using a 70 kW fast charger. Also watch: Tata Curvv EV review: Can electric power charge up compact SUV game?

It features a 360-degree camera, blind spot detection, adaptive cruise control, and Level-2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), which provide features such as lane keep and collision alert. These features set it apart for those who value active safety and autonomous driving technology. The Harrier EV, while missing some of these more advanced safety features, prioritizes off-road and utility capability. Its multi-terrain drive modes and high ground clearance position it more in favor of bad roads or weekend excursions, solidifying its SUV persona.
