Pros Cons of Volkswagen Virtus

Pros

  • Five-star Global NCAP safety rating
  • Excellent high-speed stability and composure
  • Spacious 521-litre boot
  • Solid build quality and planted highway manners

Cons

  • No ADAS features
  • No 360-degree camera
  • The DSG gearbox can feel sensitive in heavy traffic
  • Comfort is slightly firmer than that of the Honda City
  • Higher variants can get expensive
     

Verdict

The Volkswagen Virtus is one of the most driver-focused sedans in the segment. It does not follow every trend or overload buyers with gimmicks. Instead, it provides structural safety, turbocharged performance, and true highway confidence.

As Bilal Firfiray summed up during the drive,

“The Virtus is like a proper sedan, it stays stable, is confidence-inspiring and built for the long run.”

If your priority is the number of features and ADS technologies, the Verna may tempt you. If rear seat comfort is the number one priority, the City is still strong. But if you appreciate stability at triple-digit speeds, solid crash protection, and turbo performance, then the Virtus is still making a strong case in the Indian car market.

Pros Cons of Mercedes-Benz EQS

Pros

  • Long range
  • Luxury in abundance
  • More VFM

Cons

  • No massage seats on 2nd row
  • Low ground clearance
  • Not fun to drive

Verdict

The EQS is not as an electric version of the S-Class, but it is luxurious EV which us fun to drive too. It is loaded with creature comforts and luxury and comes with many new-age tech features. A big USP is that it comes with highest range for any electric car in India and at Rs. 1.55 crore, ex-showroom seems well priced too. It’s a car in which it is hard to find faults really.
