Most probably thats a typo there .

Barring having a competitive price. This really is an underwhelming product from Maruti. The integrated display is badly done the Syros looks more premium than this, I am surprised they have not corrected this despite it being criticized for months starting from Europe.

They have also fumbled the rear seat probably the battery was bigger than what they expected. They should have gone for a boxy brezza like look.

Only the range and their proposed charging infrastructure seems to be enticing

Also who is supplying their electric motor ?

I think this may be my first EV as long as it is fun to drive, does 400 kilometers in a single charge and does not take more than 25 minutes to charge from 20% to 90%.

Amongst the current crop of EV's I don't prefer the Chinese, and I had been waiting for something like this from the mainstream Japanese manufacturers and Ford.

If you don’t prefer Chinese , it is better to get a Mahindra or Tata. Suzuki has battery and bms completely imported from BYD, China. Tata & Mahindra have their own BMS and the batteries are assembled here even though the cells are imported from China.

The Chinese are slowly becoming the most sold EVs in the world. They are giving the Americans and Germans huge competition in various markets.

In India, I have rarely heard complaints from ZS EV owners. Same with the few BYD customers. The e7 is fighting the Innova. That is the potential of the Chinese MPV to take on the successful Japanese MPV in India.

Very close to GV/Hyryder hybrid variants.

By all means go for them if you are happy with them and it suits your needs. I am at a stage in life where more than what I want in life I am more aware of what I do not want, and Chinese automobiles are definitely something that I do not want.

Having said that I did spend 10 days with MG ZS EV when I was in Bangkok last year. I drove the car in the city, took her on a road trip to Chang international Circuit in Burriram to watch MotoGP, and I was very impressed by the way the car behaved and handled. The car felt solid and well put together like a Ford of early days. The drive was very easy on the pocket too. I don't mind if it is a rental but I do not want to live with it.

When it comes to cars it is the Ford, the Japanese group of Honda, Mazda, Toyota, Subaru and the BMW that grabs my attention. Rest all I do not care and I do not expect others to agree to my point of view. May be let's just agree to disagree.

India is a unique market where Maruti enjoys a reputation for unmatched reliability and an extensive network of service centers that no other brand can match. Therefore, Maruti's announcement of the e-Vitara, along with its plan to utilize its service centers as charging stations, is a significant move. This strategy alone is likely to attract a large number of buyers, as Maruti service centers are widely accessible across the country.

However, the ultimate success of the e-Vitara will depend on its pricing, which remains to be seen.

Why is the expected price so high?

Dimensions wise and power wise, the eVitara Delta variant is less equipped than the MG Windsor Base Variant. Windsor has the same wheelbase, better cargo room, same power output and more features than the eVitara. Even the Zeta variant has less equipment than the Mid-spec Windsor. Just that the batteries is smaller.

Dont forget that there are rumors of the Windsor with a 50 kWh battery floating around.

The prices quoted are inaccurate. It will definitely be even higher than the prices shown. My estimate is in the range of 25 to 29 Lacs on road. This vehicle is not a mass mover but an export oriented design and initial price of such vehicle will definitely be high.

You simply cannot compare Windsor prices with anyone as Chinese EVs are hugely subsidized by their Government right from Lithium exploration, to Exports sales benefits. Even homegrown TATA cannot match their prices.

₹17,167

That's the difference between the ex-factory price of the Nexon Creative 1.2 MT and Curvv Creative 1.2 MT. The rest of the ex-showroom difference is just due to the difference in GST slabs!

No wonder they are so similar.

But that also makes me wonder why, despite both being in the same 5% GST slab, the ex-showroom price difference between the Nexon.EV 45 Creative and the Curvv.EV 45 Creative is ₹3,50,000. What is it that is increasing the price of the Curvv? I would say it is the lack of competition from anyone else. Tata Motors will continue to milk what it still can.

The Curvv.EV could have and should have been the *Maruti moment for Indian EVs* that the Windsor became. To be really truthful, the Nexon EV 45 compares quite favourable to the Windsor. Curvv EV can be much better than a Windsor for not too much more. Tata surely isn't selling Nexon EVs at a loss.

All of us are so habituated to large cars being super-overpriced due to exorbitant taxes that anything that is *honestly priced* seems like a scam/foreign attack on indigenous industry.

.

The batteryis of Nexon 45 & Curvv 45 are different. Nexon has 46 kWh prismatic Gotion cells while Curvv has 45 kWh cylindrical octillion cells.
