Maruti Victoris vs Tata Curvv - Dimensions

The Tata Curvv sports a coupe-SUV design - a fresh concept for the Indian market, blending the sleek profile of a sedan with the stance of an SUV. While the BMW X6 was the first coupe-SUV sold in India, it's far more premium and aimed at a niche audience. If you're looking to stand out on the road while enjoying generous ground clearance, the Tata Curvv deserves the top spot on your list.

The Maruti Victoris looks like an extended version of the Brezza and shares many styling cues with the Grand Vitara. It's designed for families, and from no angle does it appear radical or overly flashy. This SUV carries a premium touch throughout its design, and no one can deny that it's a great-looking car. There's also a generous glass area, ensuring the cabin is always filled with plenty of natural light.

These tables pack all the essential information about the powertrains offered on these vehicles. The Victoris focuses mainly on fuel efficiency, with Maruti offering a naturally aspirated petrol, a CNG, and a strong-hybrid option - and as you move up this range, the claimed fuel-efficiency figures keep improving. However, what it lacks is performance. If you're someone who enjoys spirited driving, the Victoris may not appeal to you, as all its engines are tuned for maximum efficiency and feel lethargic under hard acceleration. Only the strong-hybrid variant offers decent pickup thanks to its dual power sources, but even it lacks the punch you get from turbocharged engines. The Victoris stands out with its AWD powertrain, making rough terrains easier to handle. Still, limited power keeps its off-road capabilities in check.

The Tata Curvv is offered only with turbocharged engines, including a rare option these days - a diesel. Another highlight is that all variants come with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, a first-in-segment feature. Even the base 1.2L Revotron engine delivers impressive power, feels eager to drive, and can return around 15 kmpl with a light foot. For those who prioritise performance, Tata has developed an all-new 1.2L Hyperion engine producing 225 Nm of torque. However, it isn't the most refined and doesn't offer a substantial leap over the Revotron. The diesel, on the other hand, is the pick of the lot, thanks to its strong power delivery and the ability to achieve over 20 kmpl in almost all conditions.

Features

This is an area where both cars pack in every modern feature, making it hard to declare a clear winner. However, after closely studying the brochures of both models, it's evident that the Tata Curvv offers a few extras that truly make a difference. These include a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster with a host of functions, including the ability to display Google Maps directly - eliminating the need to turn your head toward the main screen. While Maruti also offers a 10.25-inch digital display, it isn't as versatile as Tata's.

Moreover, the Curvv features ambient lighting along the edges of its panoramic sunroof, adding a premium touch. It also offers dual-zone automatic AC - another feature missing from the Victoris.

This table gives a clear picture of the features on offer - and it's evident that Tata has the edge, whether it's in features, engine options, or overall cool factor. However, if reliability is your top priority, nothing beats Maruti. That's the clear distinction between the two, and now, let's take a closer look at their prices.

The Victoris starts at Rs 10.50 lakh, with the top variant priced at Rs 19.98 lakh (ex-showroom). It's available in a total of 21 variants. The Curvv, on the other hand, is priced from Rs 9.65 lakh, with 42 variants on offer, and its top-spec model costs Rs 18.84 lakh (ex-showroom). Thanks to the recent GST rate cuts, prices have come down across the range.
