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.

Pros Cons of Honda City

Pros

  • Potent Engine
  • Sporty Design
  • Spacious Cabin

Cons

  • Honda has missed out on the spirited 1.0-litre turbo petrol for India
  • Outdated Infotainment System
  • Slightly Expensive

Verdict

A premium, well loaded, and well designed car – fitting of the City nameplate. There are bits we could have been happier with, but there's plenty here to excite the segment. And the die-hard Honda City fan.
