Design, styling, and dimensions

Both the Curvv EV and the BE 6e feature an unconventional design and an innovative approach to styling, best fitting the coupe-SUV body style. The Curvv is smoother with curvy body panels while the BE 6e is more on the sleeker and sharper side with more defined edges. Both cars get connected lightbars on either ends, flush door handles, and aero wheels. Styling being a highly subjective aspect, I personally find the 6e to be a better-looking car, though I am yet to see it on the roads.
