Verdict
The Tata Curvv EV is ahead of the MG ZS EV in terms of features, dimensions, and range, all offered at a lower price. The best part of the Tata Curvv EV is that it is a brand-new car, so all these features are expected. However, its driving dynamics will be assessed over time. On the other hand, the MG ZS EV has been tested and drives very smoothly both in the city and on the highway, but its range is relatively low for the price. Its limited range and the fact that MG is primarily available in metropolitan areas mean that you will likely see it less frequently in rural areas. In contrast, the Curvv EV has the potential to become popular in rural areas as well.
