Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Citroen Aircross
- Spacious 5-seater variant with class leading boot space.
- Usable 3rd of seats with cupholders and USB chargers
- Very comfortable over bad and broken roads.
- Turbo-petrol engine offers good drivability both in city and highways
- Looks tough -- more SUV than crossover.
- Good displays -- both the 10.25-inch touchscreen and the 7-inch driver's display
Volkswagen Virtus
- Classy, understated styling. Sporty GT variant on offer too
- Feature-loaded: 8-inch digital driver’s display, 10.1-inch touchscreen, ventilated seats, electric sunroof are among the highlights
- 521 litre boot is segment leading. 60:40 split rear seats bumps up practicality
- Strong engine options: 1- and 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engines promise excitement

Citroen Aircross
- No modern elements in design with halogen headlights and taillamps.
- Misses out on feel-good features like a sunroof, automatic climate control, and electrically folding ORVMs
Volkswagen Virtus
- Lack of width and strong seat contouring means the Virtus is best used as a four seater
- No diesel engine option. Verna and City offer a diesel
