News & Top StoriesComparing the Specifications of the Honda Elevate, Kia Seltos, and Tata Curvv
There are now nine models in India’s competitive compact SUV market, including the Kia Seltos and Honda Elevate. Now that the Tata Curvv, an SUV coupe, is expected to join this competitive market, we have contrasted some of its most important Comparing Specifications with our own, beginning with size.
Measurements
| Dimension | Tata Curvv | Kia Seltos | Honda Elevate |
| Length | 4308 mm | 4365 mm | 4312 mm |
| Width | 1810 mm | 1800 mm | 1790 mm |
| Height | 1630 mm | 1645 mm^ | 1650 mm |
| Wheelbase | 2560 mm | 2610 mm | 2650 mm |
- The largest option available here is the Tata Curvv.
- Out of the three compact SUVs, the Kia Seltos has the greatest total length.
- In terms of total height and wheelbase, the Honda Elevate surpasses the Curvv by 20 mm and 90 mm, respectively. It also has the largest wheelbase.
Fuel-Powered Drivetrain
| Specification | Tata Curvv | Kia Seltos | Honda Elevate |
| Engine | 1.2-litre turbo-petrol | 1.5-litre N/A* petrol/ 1.5-litre turbo-petrol | 1.5-litre N/A* petrol |
| Power | 125 PS | 115 PS/ 160 PS | 121 PS |
| Torque | 225 Nm | 144 Nm/ 253 Nm | 145 Nm |
| Transmission | 6-speed MT, 7-speed DCT (expected) | 7-speed DCT, 6-speed MT, CVT/ 6-speed iMT | 6-speed MT, CVT |
- The petrol engine in this Curvv is the smallest in terms of displacement, but because it is turbocharged, it offers the second-highest torque value out of the three.
- The 1.5-liter turbocharged engine in the Seltos is the most potent and torque-producing gasoline engine available for small SUVs. Additionally, only Kia offers four different transmission options in addition to a choice of two petrol engines.
- When comparing the naturally aspirated engines of the Seltos and Elevate, the Honda SUV produces 1 Nm greater torque and more power. The N.A. unit receives the same transmission choices as the Seltos.
Diesel Powertrain
| Specification | Tata Curvv | Kia Seltos |
| Engine | 1.5-litre diesel | 1.5-litre diesel |
| Power | 115 PS | 116 PS |
| Torque | 260 Nm | 250 Nm |
| Transmission | 6-speed MT | 6-speed MT, 6-speed AT |
- Every automaker in this region, except for Honda, offers a diesel engine option for its SUVs.
- It is known that the 1.5-litre diesel engine from the Nexon will be available with the Curvv. Although the options for its automatic transmission are still unknown, it will have a 6-speed MT.
Highlights of the Features
| Tata Curvv (expected) | Kia Seltos | Honda Elevate |
|
|
|
- The Kia Seltos is the best option for individuals seeking to get the most feature-rich SUV offered. Segment-leading features including dual-integrated 10.25-inch screens, an 8-way power-adjustable driver seat, and dual-zone air conditioning are all included by Kia.
- Tata has not yet disclosed the Curvv’s full feature list, but it is anticipated to be a feature-rich product as well. We think the Harrier-Safari combination will equip it with high-end amenities including a larger 12.3-inch touchscreen, advanced driving assistance systems (ADAS), and a panoramic sunroof.
- Despite having a 10.25-inch touchscreen and ADAS, the Honda Elevate lacks high-end features like a panoramic sunroof, a 360-degree camera, and a fully digital driver’s display, which is available on its rivals here.
Price
| Tata Curvv (expected) | Kia Seltos | Honda Elevate | |
| Price range (ex-showroom) | Rs 10.50 lakh to Rs 17 lakh | 10.90 lakh to 20.30 lakh rupees | Rs 11.58 lakh to Rs 16.20 lakh |
Although the Tata Curvv has not yet been released, we anticipate that it will have a competitive starting price to draw buyers in the competitive small SUV market. Its diesel versions are also anticipated to be significantly less expensive than the top-spec Seltos. Of the three, the Honda Elevate has the most expensive starting price, but the Kia SUV’s top-spec model is more than Rs 20 lakh.
