Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Datsun GO Plus
- Good boot space with the third row folded. Can easily accommodate a weekend's worth of luggage.
- The 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system is responsive, has a good resolution and supports Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
- The exterior changes, especially the new 14-inch alloy wheels, look good.
- Dual-airbags, ABS, EBD, BA, rear parking sensors and follow me home headlamps are now part of the standard safety kit.
- New dashboard setup looks much better
Volkswagen Ameo
- 110PS diesel engine is a powerhouse! Can be fun and frugal at the same time.
- Solid build quality inside-out, similar to that of its siblings. The Polo and the Vento.
- Most feature loaded vehicle in the segment with features such as cruise control, MirrorLink support and others.

Datsun GO Plus
- Disappointing audio quality with just two speakers
- Underbody noise insulation still lacking as stones hitting the bottom make a sharp noise.
- Lack of storage space for the second row
Volkswagen Ameo
- Cabin best suited for four occupants. Rear-seat legroom and headroom could have been better as well
- Relatively weak after sales network compared to competitors like Maruti Suzuki and Hyundai.
- The Ameo doesn't offer an automatic option with petrol, almost every other car in the segment offers a petrol automatic.
- The 1.2-litre petrol engine feels underpowered, especially on the highways.
