Both the BE 6 and the Curvv EV come equipped with automatic LED lighting, fog lamps with a cornering function, and modern features like flush-type door handles and lighting animations while locking or unlocking the vehicle. However, the BE 6 features larger 19-inch alloy wheels compared to the Curvv EV's 18-inch alloys.
Inside, the Curvv EV Empowered + A offers more luxury with its leatherette seat upholstery and leather-wrapped steering wheel, compared to the BE 6's fabric seat upholstery. That said, both EVs feature soft-touch elements throughout the interior, giving them an upmarket feel.
In terms of tech, the BE 6 outperforms with a superior 16-speaker Harman Kardon sound system and a larger 12.3-inch digital driver's display. But, the Curvv EV offers better convenience with powered front-row seats featuring seat ventilation, compared to the manually adjustable front-row seats found in the BE 6.
On the safety front, both the BE 6 and Curvv EV are equipped with similar features, including six airbags, front and rear parking sensors, level-2 ADAS, and a tyre pressure monitoring system. However, the Curvv EV includes a 360-degree camera, while the BE 6 Pack Two is limited to a reverse parking camera.

Mahindra BE 6 Pack Two vs Tata Curvv EV Empowered Plus A 55: Powertrain Specs

	Mahindra BE 6 Pack Two	Tata Curvv EV Empowered + A 55
Battery pack	59 kWh	55 kWh
No. of electric motor	1	1
Power/ Torque	231 PS/380 Nm	167 PS/ 215 Nm
MIDC-claimed range	557 km	502 km

With its larger battery pack, the BE 6 offers not only a better-claimed range but also delivers better power figures than the Curvv EV. It features a rear-wheel-drive setup, unlike the Curvv EV's front-wheel drivetrain. Mahindra also provides a 79 kWh battery pack option, with a claimed range of 683 km, though this is available only with the top-spec Pack Three variant.

Both EVs support DC fast charging, but the Curvv EV is limited to 70 kW, taking 40 minutes to charge from 10 to 80 percent. In contrast, the BE 6 Pack Two supports 140 kW charging, achieving 20 to 80 percent charge in just 20 minutes.

Verdict

Overall, the BE 6 Pack Two, with its larger size, well-equipped cabin, and superior powertrain, seems like a smart choice. That said, the Curvv EV offers better convenience with features such as powered seats with ventilation and also provides savings of up to Rs 65,000 on the upfront cost.

Which electric SUV you pick ultimately also depends on whose design appeals to you more, as it's a subjective choice. In the end, whichever SUV you choose, you can not go wrong with either.
