Tata Motors has strengthened its electric SUV lineup with two compelling premium options: the stylish Curvv EV (launched 2024) and the more commanding Harrier EV (launched mid-2025). Both ride on the acti.ev platform, offer advanced features, strong safety ratings, and solid real-world usability, but they target slightly different buyers.
Price and Positioning
- Curvv EV: Starts at around ₹16.99–17.49 lakh and tops out near ₹21.99–22.24 lakh (ex-showroom). It is the more accessible option, with the top-spec 55 kWh variant competing closely with the base Harrier EV. autocarindia.com
- Harrier EV: Starts at ₹21.49 lakh (introductory for base Adventure 65) and climbs to ₹28–30.23 lakh for higher trims, including AWD. It positions itself as the flagship with more power and space.
Verdict on price: The Curvv EV offers better value for budget-conscious buyers seeking style and efficiency. The Harrier EV justifies its premium for those wanting size, performance, and range. Base Harrier EV and top Curvv EV are close in price.
Variants
The Tata Curvv EV is available in five variants: Pure, Pure Plus, Adventure, Empowered, and Empowered A.
The Tata Harrier EV comes in four variants: Adventure, Adventure S, Fearless Plus, and Empowered.Both offer a good spread of options depending on budget and required features.
Dimensions & Design
The Harrier EV is longer and wider than the Curvv EV, giving it a stronger road presence and slightly better shoulder room inside the cabin. Both SUVs have nearly identical height and maintain a proper SUV stance. The Harrier EV also has a longer wheelbase, which translates to marginally better rear-seat comfort and high-speed stability.
However, the Curvv EV offers more boot space. Overall, the Harrier EV is the slightly bigger SUV in most dimensions. Thanks to its boxy shape and upright design, the Curvv EV doesn’t feel significantly smaller on the road. Side-by-side, both vehicles appear quite similar in overall size and presence.
Wheels & Tyres
- Lower variants of both get 18-inch aero alloy wheels.
- Top variants of both get 19-inch aero alloy wheels.
The Harrier EV’s stance and design give it a more premium SUV feel, but final impressions go beyond just wheel size.
