The Tata Curvv and Citroen Basalt are the only two coupe-SUVs in the crowded mid-size SUV segment, as opposed to the other traditional SUVs. That said, the Basalt is the longest offering here at 4,352mm, while Curvv (1,810mm) is the widest one. As far as height is concerned, MG Astor and Honda Elevate are the tallest offerings with a height of 1,650mm. The Citroen C3 Aircross’ 2,671mm long wheelbase is the best in its class, while Elevate’s 220mm ground clearance outshines all its rivals.

Thanks to its three-row seating, the C3 Aircross’ boot space can be expanded to 551 litres when being used as a five-seater. This makes Tata Curvv’s 500-litre boot space second-best in the segment. Moreover, the Curvv and Seltos are the only two here to be offered with 18-inch alloy wheels. Do note that Hyundai offers 18-inch alloy wheels on the sportier Creta N Line. Basalt gets the smallest wheels (16-inches).

The Creta and Seltos’ 160hp, 1.5-litre, four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine is still the most powerful petrol engine in the segment. Maruti Grand Vitara and Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder are the only ones to offer a strong-hybrid powertrain in the segment.
