The SUV world is changing fast. It’s no longer just about who has the biggest engine or the most ground clearance. Today, it’s about “philosophy”—the vibe, the tech, and the lifestyle a car represents.
The Tata Curvv and the Mahindra BE 6 are perfect examples of this shift. While they both want a spot in your driveway, they go about it in completely different ways. Here’s how they stack up.
1. The Look: Elegant Curves vs. Sci-Fi Boldness
The first thing you’ll notice is how differently they sit on the road.
- Tata Curvv: It’s all about “Curved Elegance.” Think of it as a sophisticated athlete. It has a flowing, coupe-like roofline and smooth surfaces. With its “welcome and goodbye” LED lights and flush door handles, it feels premium and polished.
- Mahindra BE 6: This looks like it drove straight out of a video game. It’s aggressive, sharp, and futuristic. With C-shaped lights and an illuminated logo, it’s designed to turn heads and scream “the future is here.”
The Vibe: The Curvv is for those who want modern class; the BE 6 is for those who want to make a bold statement.
2. Under the Hood: The Power of Choice vs. Pure Electric
The engineering behind these two reveals who they are really for.
- The Tata Curvv (Flexibility): Built on the ATLAS platform, the Curvv is a “chameleon.” Whether you want a petrol engine, a diesel workhorse, or a high-performance GDI engine (pushing 91.9 kW and 225 Nm), the Curvv gives you the choice.
- The Mahindra BE 6 (Commitment): Mahindra isn’t looking back. The BE 6 sits on a dedicated electric platform (INGLO).1 It’s built from the ground up to be an EV, featuring a massive 210 kW motor that hits 0–100 km/h in just 6.7 seconds.
3. Tech Talk: Comfort vs. Computing Power
Both cars are packed with screens, but their goals are different.
4. Safety First
Safety is a huge win for both, but the methods vary:
- Tata Curvv: Focuses on a rock-solid build (5-star BNCAP rating) and Level 2 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance) like adaptive cruise control to keep you safe on highways.2
- Mahindra BE 6: Goes a step further with “Level 2+” ADAS.3 It uses 5 radars and 12 sensors to monitor the driver and the surroundings, even offering “Secure360” surveillance to keep an eye on the car when you aren’t there.
