Tata Curvv Creative 1.5 Diesel MT

The Kia Seltos works very well for your usage because it is extremely easy to drive in the city, thanks to its smooth IVT automatic. It delivers a very seamless driving experience at low speeds, which makes traffic driving stress-free, and this is exactly where it stands out.

It also feels like the more premium and newer car overall, especially on the inside. The cabin quality, fit and finish give it a more upmarket feel, and importantly, it offers a more spacious rear seat, which adds to overall comfort and practicality.

The Tata Curvv is an interesting option and scores well on design and road presence. But as a package, it is still not as refined or as easy to drive as the Seltos, particularly in city conditions.

If you specifically want a Tata car, you can consider the Tata Sierra. It is larger and more comfortable than the Curvv, but within your budget, you will likely be looking at the 1.5 NA petrol with the DCA automatic. While this engine is refined and well-suited for city use, it is not as powerful, and the DCA gearbox is not as smooth as the Seltos’ IVT.

Haha, yes, you are right, the Tata Curvv suits your requirements perfectly, and there is nothing else that will be a match. Honestly, if you love a car that much, go ahead and enjoy it. Your family is probably worried about the service and reliability, and while Tata Motors is yet to get to the top, they have made many improvements. 

Besides being a Tata Motors customer already, we're sure you are having a decent ownership experience, and that is why you want to buy another one.   

That's a very varied set of cars in your shortlist, and it would be hard to pinpoint one without knowing your specific requirements. The Mahindra Thar is a good option if you want a rugged SUV to take on bad roads. If you really like the image, if not its not better than the others as a daily driver, as the ride over medium bumps and patchy city streets is very busy.  Also, the refinement, too, will not be as nice as the Honda City in particular. 

The Tata Curvv will be more refined than the Mahindra Thar and will feel more premium inside, too. Plus, it will have sufficient ground clearance for most bad roads in and about the city. So this is a good buy if very rough roads are not something you encounter. 

The Honda City would be best if you like to drive, as the handling of a sedan will feel better than the Thar and the Curvv. Also, we assume you live in an area with reasonably good roads. 

The Tata Curvv is the largest SUV in this comparison, and while it has a very comfy ride and unique looks, the rear space isn't good for tall adults. The Hyundai Venue is the most well-equipped in this budget, but it is also a segment below the Elevate and the Curvv. If rear seat space isn't a high priority, the new Hyundai Venue is the best choice in this group. 

The Maruti Suzuki Victoris in CNG trim will be a better buy than the Curvv, as it has more space in the back and given your familiarity with Maruti, the Victoris will be a better buy. Also, if you are going to exchange your older car, Maruti is likely to offer a better deal on the Wagon-R.
