Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Mahindra BE 6
- Stand-out styling that can pull attention away from supercars
- Two battery pack options with an estimated real world range of 400-500km.
- Superb infotainment experience: dual 12.3” screens, Harman/Kardon Audio on offer.
- The strong safety suite includes well-calibrated L2 ADAS. Works well in Indian conditions.
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

Mahindra BE 6
- Rear seat headroom for tall users and outward visibility for short users could have been better
- Styling is very polarising and may be too over-the-top for some in your family
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
