I plan to sell my current car and purchase a new one through my employer’s car leasing policy. I’m considering the Tata Curvv and really like its overall styling. However, I’m confused between the Curvv EV and the petrol version. I’ve taken a test drive of both. I like the Curvv EV for its silent cabin, but the real-world range of 350–375km is a concern. The Curvv 1.2 Revotron petrol DCT is more affordable than the EV, but the cabin is noisy and fuel efficiency is quite low. Please suggest which one I should go for.

The Tata Curvv EV's real-world range of 350–375km on a single charge shouldn’t be a major concern, especially if you have a fixed daily route and access to charging either at home or at your workplace. Charging once or twice a week should comfortably cover your city usage.

You can also undertake 200–250km long drives without having to plan a charging stop along the way. Only extended outstation trips would require some planning. If you’re looking for an EV with a longer real-world range, the Hyundai Creta Electric with its 51.4kWh battery is worth considering, as it's expected to offer over 400km.
