The electric vehicle market in India is growing consistently fuelling up the competition among various brands competing for consumers' attention. To stand out, the brands have recently started bringing a relatively new body type into the segment i.e., the SUV coupe. Hence, Indian automobile giants like Tata Motors and Mahindra have launched the Curvv EV and BE 6 as their flag-bearers, respectively. Even though competing in the segment, they are vastly different if we eliminate the common factor of body style. Here are all the details of the differences between the two EVs.
Tata Curvv EV vs Mahindra BE 6: Dimensions
The Tata Curvv EV follows the signature design language of Tata Motors and stands at a length of 4,210 mm, a width of 1,810 mm, and a height of 1,637 mm. It has a wheelbase of 2,560 mm and a ground clearance of 186 mm. On the contrary, the BE 6 is slightly bigger with a length of 4,371 mm, a width of 1,907 mm, and a height of 1,627 mm.

Tata Curvv EV vs Mahindra BE 6: Powertrain

It is supported by two battery pack options of 45 kWh and 55 kWh which offer a range of up to 430 km and 502 km, respectively.
On the other hand, the Mahindra BE 6 is based on skateboard architecture designed to underpin the born electric vehicles of the brand. Hence offering a rear-wheel-drive setup. This is supported by relatively bigger 59 kWh and 79 kWh battery packs offering a range of up to 535 km and 682 km on a single charge. The smaller battery pack version of the BE 6 offers more range than the bigger battery pack version of the Curvv EV.
