Most fun to drive compact SUVs: Creta N Line vs Taigun GT vs Curvv | Auto Live

The Creta N Line punches above its weight with its 1.5‑litre Turbo GDi petrol engine (≈160 PS / 253 Nm) paired with either a 7‑speed DCT or 6‑speed manual, sporty exhaust note, sharper steering, and stiffer suspension. It feels aggressive in corners, planted at speed, yet remains usable in city traffic, making weekend twisties and highway drives more exciting.

The Taigun GT offers its 1.5 TSI EVO engine (~150 PS, 250 Nm) with both MT and DSG/automatic options. It wins with excellent stability at high speeds, confident handling, sharp steering feedback and a chassis tuned to deliver feedback without sacrificing too much comfort. The ride is generally composed, though some owners find the suspension stiff over broken urban surfaces. 

The Tata Curvv, with its coupe‑SUV styling, brings fun via a choice of powertrains (petrol / diesel / EV), drive modes, paddle shifters, and a platform that balances ride comfort with body control. Even in the EV version, the throttle response, calm highway composure, and relatively stiff yet livable ride make it enjoyable to drive. Its design, tech, and driving manners give it a flair that appeals to those wanting something different.
