                Pros & Cons

                • Pros
                • Cons
                • Honda City

                  • Front end looks sporty and modern with sleek lighting elements and a sharp design
                  • Offers excellent ride comfort on bad roads while maintaining a planted feeling at high speeds
                  • Gets refined engine options and a great real-world fuel efficiency with the strong hybrid setup
                  • Comes with good daily use features and does not leave you wanting for more

                  Volkswagen Virtus

                  • Sophisticated look: 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
                  • Great boot space: 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
                • Honda City

                  • Headroom in both the front and the rear seats is limited and tall people will struggle
                  • New features like the 10.1-inch touchscreen and the 360-degree camera feel like last minute thought and need better executions
                  • The petrol engine gets loud under load due to poor cabin insulation and acceleration also takes time with the CVT

                  Volkswagen Virtus

                  • Less rear seat space: Lack of width and strong seat contouring means the Virtus is best used as a four seater
                  • Limited powertrains: No diesel of hybrid engine options. City offers a strong hybrid powertrain.
