Pros Cons of Mahindra Thar Roxx

Pros

  • A bigger family-oriented Thar 
  • Practical with good features 
  • Strong performance

Cons

  • Imperfect ergonomics 
  • Heavy steering at high speeds 
  • Bouncy ride 

Verdict

The Mahindra Thar Roxx is a great option if you like the Thar's form factor. In fact, the Roxx offers more comfort and family-oriented features than the three-door Thar. As compared to its bigger sibling, the Scorpio N, the Roxx provides more features for less money if you don't need seven seats. However, when up against road-focused SUVs like the Tata Nexon or the Hyundai Creta, the Roxx compromises on refinement, driving ease, and fuel efficiency. 

Pros Cons of Volkswagen Virtus

Pros

  • Fun To Drive
  • Modern Interior
  • Looks Stylish

Cons

  • Engine Needs Refinement
  • No Diesel Engine
  • 1.0L Motor Needs More Punch

Verdict

The compact sedan segment in India is undergoing an influx of fresher models with the Skoda Slavia and the hybrid version of the Honda City taking the fight straight to Maruti Suzuki Ciaz and the Hyundai Verna Volkswagen now has brought in the replacement to the VW Vento and yes it looks gorgeous. With a car like the Virtus, that is high on looks, features and two powerful petrol engines, Volkswagen might just hit it out of the park with the pricing.
