Recently, Bollywood sensation John Abraham and celebrated Indian field hockey player P.R. Sreejesh have been in the news as regards their new car choices, having opted for models from leading Indian vehicle manufacturers. While John Abraham has purchased the Mahindra XUV 3XO, a stylish subcompact SUV, as a gift for his father, P.R. Sreejesh has gone for the Tata Curvv EV, a concept electric SUV-coupe, which symbolizes taste and preference for each.
John Abraham’s Mahindra XUV 3XO: A Special Gift for His Father
Car enthusiast John Abraham has recently gifted his dad a subcompact SUV, the Mahindra XUV 3XO, on the occasion of his birthday. The car comes in its striking Stealth Black color, an attempt to highlight the bold and rugged stance of the vehicle.
Key Features of the Mahindra XUV 3XO:
- Engine and Performance: John Abraham went with a Mahindra XU3O that comes fitted with a 1.2-liter turbo-petrol mill serving 130 PS and 230 Nm of torque. The engine will come mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission and thus promises a seamless yet sporty drive.
- Exterior and Design: The SUV is strong in additional features of full LED headlights with LED DRLs, 17-inch alloy wheels, and connected LED tail lights. An aggressive design approach and modern styling together make this the most coveted urban SUV in the segment.
- Interior and Comfort: The XUV 3XO comes with a 10.25-inch touchscreen, a digital driver’s display, a panoramic sunroof, and dual-zone AC with rear vents, enhancing comforts to make the experience absolutely luxurious.
- Safety and Technology: The car is well equipped to provide safety by including modern features with it, such as six airbags, a 360-degree camera, and ADAS-Advanced Driver Assistance Systems.
The Mahindra XUV 3XO is priced between Rs 7.49 lakh and Rs 15.49 lakh (ex-showroom, pan-India), offering various options within the MX and AX variant lines, with a total of 25 variants available.
P.R. Sreejesh’s Tata Curvv EV: A Leap into the Future
P.R. Sreejesh, the team member who helped India lock the bronze medal in hockey during the Paris Olympics 2024, has chosen the most futuristic way when it comes to driving. He chooses none other than the Tata Curvv EV, part of Tata Motors’ flagship offerings. That again reflects the commitment of Sreejesh toward sustainability and leading-edge technology.
Key Features of the Tata Curvv EV:
- Powertrain and Range: The Tata Curvv EV that Sreejesh opted for is probably the top-spec Empowered Plus A variant that comes with a 5 kWh battery pack doing an impressive 585 km on a single charge. Then, there’s another variant that can run 502 km from its smaller 45 kWh battery.
- Exterior and Design: The full-LED lighting, panorama sunroof, and gesture-controlled powered tailgate make for some great features in the Curvv EV. Its sleek design with an overall aerodynamic profile is one of the high-potential contenders in the electric vehicle segment.
Inside, it enjoys a set of dual screens, a 9-speaker JBL sound system, among many other luxury features that add to the SUV-coupe’s premium feel. - Safety Features and Innovation: The Empowered Plus variant of the Curvv EV comes loaded with advanced safety features, including six airbags, a 360-degree camera, and a level-2 ADAS suite, promising the best safety feature for the occupants.
The Tata Curvv EV is a direct rival to the MG ZS EV in the Indian market and can be better referred to as an affordable alternative from other premium electric vehicles, namely BYD Atto 3, Hyundai Ioniq 5, and Volvo XC40 Recharge.
Market Impact and Rivalry
The Mahindra XUV 3XO and the Tata Curvv EV are only a glimpse of what is in store for India as far as future automotive engineering is concerned, with demand escalating for technology-rich, feature-rich automobiles. The rivals to be in this fray will be compact SUVs like Renault Kiger, Nissan Magnite, Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, Maruti Suzuki Brezza, Tata Nexon, and Skoda Kylaq, all lined up for an imminent launch. On the other hand, the Tata Curvv EV constitutes an important presence within the electric vehicle sector, aimed at the increasingly ecologically sensitive customer who will not give up a thrill in the name of sustainability.
The choices made by both John Abraham and P.R. Sreejesh set up a trend among Indian celebrities toward embracing homegrown brands and innovative technologies, setting examples for their fans and followers.
While John Abraham chose the Mahindra XUV 3XO, P.R. Sreejesh opted for the Tata Curvv EV. In fact, it says a lot about the appeal of Indian car makers in the celebrity market. One must commend the star choices that are steeped in a blend of luxury and practicality, while for Sreejesh to go electric says volumes about his forward-thinking approach. Both cars are expected to turn heads on Indian roads and encourage more to go for these brilliant models.
