Hi Autocar team, I currently own a 2023 Tata Harrier and a 2011 Maruti Suzuki Alto. I use the Alto for my daily commute and the Harrier for long highway trips. I now want to replace the Alto with an EV for everyday use. I like the comfort and pricing of the MG Windsor Essence, but I am confused between the Windsor and the Tata Curvv EV. Which would you recommend?
Go for the MG Windsor Essence. It is a better fit for your requirements, particularly for daily commuting. The Windsor has a spacious cabin, a wide rear seat and a more premium feel. The Curvv EV is a good product, but its cabin does not offer the same level of space and comfort.The Windsor also has a larger battery and a longer claimed range, giving you more flexibility for occasional longer drives. MG's EV ownership experience has also been positive, and the Windsor feels like a well-rounded product. Its main drawback is that MG's service network is not as extensive as Tata's, although this may be less of a concern if you primarily use it in the city.Overall, the Windsor Essence is the more spacious and comfortable option for your daily commute.
I am planning to buy my first car, and my monthly running would be around 1,000 km. I need a comfortable car, as around 60% of my driving will be on highways, mostly on a fixed route. I am getting the Tata Curvv EV for Rs 17 lakh and the Kia Seltos Diesel HTX for Rs 17.5 lakh. I also have an EV charger at home. Which one should I buy considering my usage and the fact that this will be my first car?
Go for the Tata Curvv EV. With 1,000 km a month and a fixed 60% highway route, the economics of an electric car start to make sense, especially with home charging. This Tata car is a well-rounded package with a comfortable ride, good highway stability and enough range to handle your daily routine without range anxiety. The Kia Seltos diesel HTX is a strong alternative with a more premium cabin and a proven ownership experience, but at Rs 17.5 lakh it is not significantly cheaper than the Curvv EV, and you will be paying more in fuel and maintenance over time. The only caveat with the Curvv EV is that Tata's long-term reliability track record is not as strong as Kia's, but overall it is the better fit for your usage pattern and ownership priorities.
Can I buy the MG ZS EV in 2026? I am getting the Exclusive Plus model for Rs. 18.5 lakh on-road.
The MG ZS EV has been around since 2021, and it has barely been updated since. As of today, there are far more modern, better equipped, and more efficient electric cars available in the market. So even though the pricing is attractive, we'd advise you to consider a newer car instead. For Rs. 18.5 lakh on-road, you can consider the Kia Syros EV, Vinfast VF6, Tata Curvv EV, or even the MG Windsor.
I'm getting a used 45K-run 2024 Curvv EV Empowered+ A 55 for Rs. 16.5 lakh. Do you think it is a fair price? I haven't negotiated yet. What will I be missing compared to the Series X? Is the back seat of the older model comfortable for long journeys? I heard there were some complaints earlier, and they improved it in the new one. Was there anything else that was an issue apart from the headroom? How bad was it, especially if a tall passenger won't be sitting in the back? Also, are there any known issues with the car? What should I double-check before buying a used one?
Rs 16.5 lakh for a 2024 Tata Curvv EV Empowered+ A 55 with 45,000km on the clock isn't very tempting, and you should definitely negotiate further. The car has covered a fair distance in a short time, so the price should reflect that. The Empowered+ A 55 is a well-equipped variant, and you are not missing out on anything major compared to the Series X - it gets some cosmetic tweaks and minor feature updates, but the core mechanical package remains the same.The back seat of this Tata car has been a point of discussion, mainly due to the sloping roofline, which affected headroom for taller passengers. If you do not have tall passengers regularly sitting at the back, it is not a deal-breaker. The seat itself is comfortable enough for long journeys, but the headroom limitation is something to be aware of. In terms of known issues, the Tata Curvv EV has not thrown up any widespread reliability concerns so far. Before buying used, check the battery health report, ensure the car has been serviced at authorised Tata workshops, inspect the tyres and brakes for wear, and look for any signs of accident damage or paintwork inconsistencies. Also, check that all charging cables and accessories are present.Overall, it is a good car, but push for a better deal given the mileage.
I'm planning to buy an EV with a budget of 20L. I'm inclining towards Curvv EV, then also thinking about the Sierra EV launch and buying that one. When will the Sierra EV launch, as I can't wait too long? What would you suggest for me?
The Sierra EV has now been launched, with prices starting from Rs.18.79 lakh (ex-showroom), so you won't have to wait any longer to evaluate it.Compared to the Curvv EV, the Sierra sits a segment higher. It offers a larger battery, a more spacious cabin, a bigger boot and a noticeably more premium feel, making it a better long-term family EV. The Curvv EV, however, continues to be an excellent value-for-money option if your budget is tighter. Since your budget is around Rs. 20 lakh, we'd recommend test-driving both the Curvv EV and the newly launched Sierra EV before making a decision. On paper, the Sierra EV looks like the more complete product, and if it fits your budget, it would be our pick thanks to its larger battery, more premium cabin and greater practicality.
