Test drove the Curvv EV: Observations on range, comfort & performance

The suspension was noticeably softer than the Nexon, but not as bouncy as the MG ZS EV.

Today, I took a test drive of the Curvv EV in Pune. The sales associate arranged the test drive at my home, here are my impressions:

Ride Comfort and Handling:

- The suspension was noticeably softer than the Nexon, providing a more comfortable ride. It wasn't as bouncy as the MG ZS EV, which I preferred.
- I've found regen braking to be intrusive in most EVs, so I turned it off.

Range and Performance:

- Driving 15.7 km (70% city, 30% highway) with regen off and in Sport mode, I achieved 154 Wh/km.
- While not as quick as the ZS EV, the Curvv EV felt adequately powerful for everyday driving.

ADAS and Technology:

- The ADAS system was not overly intrusive, but it did trigger lane departure warnings on roads without clear lane markings.
- I found it frustrating that the ADAS settings reset every time I started the car, requiring manual adjustments.
- The AVAC sound can be permanently turned off.

Interior and Comfort:

- Rear seat passengers, including my 5'10" son, found sufficient headroom and legroom.
- Ingress and egress were easy, even for my 63-year-old mother.
- The rear seat height was slightly lower than my Celerio, but thigh support was acceptable.

Battery Warranty and Insurance:

- The SA mentioned that zero-depreciation insurance doesn't cover the battery in case of an accident. An additional battery cover may cost around 5-6k.

Overall:
My family and I enjoyed our test drive of the Curvv EV. We appreciated its comfortable ride and decent performance.
