Vinfast VF6 Vs Creta EV vs Curvv EV: Best Electric SUV Under 25 Lakh in India 2025

In 2025, the electric SUV market under ₹25 lakh in India is defined by three major contenders: the newly launched VinFast VF6, the Hyundai Creta EV, and the Tata Curvv EV.

The Tata Curvv EV, introduced in 2024, has already gained strong traction with its coupe-SUV design, 585 km range, and 5-star safety rating.

The Hyundai Creta EV, launched earlier this year, leverages the popularity of India’s best-selling SUV brand, offering up to 473 km of range along with a premium feature set.

The VinFast VF6, priced aggressively from ₹16.49 lakh, now enters as the most affordable option in the segment.

Backed by local assembly and a host of promising features, it is positioned as a serious disruptor — details of which we will explore later in this article.

The central question now is clear: does the VF6’s value edge outweigh Hyundai’s brand trust and Tata’s proven EV credentials?

This comparison explores design, performance, features, safety, and ownership value to help identify the best electric SUV under ₹25 lakh in 2025.

VinFast VF6 Design & Styling

The VinFast VF6 makes a bold first impression with its Italian-inspired styling, crafted by Torino and Pininfarina.

Up front, it carries sleek projector LED headlights and eyebrow-shaped DRLs that extend into the centrally placed VinFast logo, complemented by a continuous LED light bar at the rear.

Its clean body lines, thick lower cladding, and flush-mounted door handles give it a modern edge, while the sloping roofline, shark-fin antenna, and roof spoiler add a sporty, coupe-like stance.

Inside, the VF6 continues its futuristic approach with a 12.9-inch freestanding touchscreen, a head-up display, vegan leather upholstery, and a driver-focused cockpit design.

Hyundai Creta EV Design & Styling

The Hyundai Creta EV, on the other hand, leans more towards familiarity, borrowing much of its silhouette from the best-selling ICE Creta.

However, Hyundai has given it distinct EV cues, such as an enclosed pixelated grille, aero-optimised alloy wheels, and pixel-inspired DRLs, which subtly set it apart.

The cabin feels reassuringly Creta-like, with a twin-screen layout, premium upholstery, ventilated seats, panoramic sunroof, and Bose sound system. Small touches, like a redesigned three-spoke steering wheel and practical EV-specific tweaks, balance familiarity with freshness.

Hyundai Creta EV: Familiar Creta silhouette with subtle EV tweaks (closed grille, aero wheels), appeals to brand loyalists.

Tata Curvv EV Design & Styling

The Tata Curvv EV is the most daring of the three, bringing concept-like boldness to a production SUV. Its standout coupe-SUV roofline, flush door handles, and sleek lighting animations make it feel futuristic and aerodynamic.

Tata has added muscular body cladding and aero-designed alloy wheels to emphasize its sporty SUV credentials.

The interior matches this flair with a minimalist yet premium look, featuring a large 12.3-inch infotainment screen, digital instrument cluster, ambient lighting, and dual-tone upholstery.

Signature touches like a powered tailgate and a futuristic two-spoke steering wheel with a digital logo elevate its cabin to a new level for Tata.

Verdict: Curvv EV takes the lead for those wanting a standout design, while VF6 feels modern, and Creta plays it safe.
