Tata Curvv vs MG Astor Comparison 2026: Price, Mileage, Features

Comparison overview: The Tata Curvv starts at ₹10.00 L and the MG Astor at ₹9.79 L, a difference of ₹20.99 K ex-showroom. On-road in New Delhi that gap becomes roughly ₹23.30 K. Here is what the extra money actually buys.

Engine and performance: The Tata Curvv uses a 1,199cc Diesel/Petrol making 116 - 123 bhp and listed torque with Automatic/Manual. The MG Astor uses a 1,498cc Petrol making 108.49bhp@6000rpm and listed torque with Automatic/Manual.

Mileage and running cost: These two figures are not like for like. The Tata Curvv number is for the Diesel/Petrol Automatic/Manual and the MG Astor number is for the Petrol Automatic/Manual, so compare the variants you are actually shortlisting.

What one gives that the other does not: The Tata Curvv adds Turbo Charger, Diesel Fuel Tank Capacity, Boot Space, Boot Opening and Height Adjustable Front Seat Belts. The MG Astor adds Anti-Theft Alarm, Driver Airbag, Passenger Airbag, Side Airbag and Curtain Airbag. The rest of both spec sheets is shared.

Which one should you buy?

Buy the MG Astor if you drive mostly in the city, you want the lower running cost, and you would rather keep the ₹20.99 K for your down payment than spend it on features.

Buy the Tata Curvv if you do regular highway runs, you carry luggage or a pram often, and you want Engine Type without waiting for the next facelift.

The one thing that settles it: Tata Curvv offers Turbo Charger.

Before you sign anything:

Ex-showroom price is not what you pay. Add registration, road tax, insurance and handling, and expect the final figure to land ten to twelve percent higher. Road tax changes state to state, so a car that costs the same in two cities does not cost the same to own.

Ask the dealer four things before you book. What is the current waiting period for the variant you want. What is the on-road figure.

Then drive both cars back to back on the same day, on a road you actually use. Take your family. Put your usual luggage in the boot. Most people decide in the first ten minutes, and it is rarely for the reason they expected.
