Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Mahindra BE 6 SPORTEQ
- Concept car-like styling Stands out and can pull attention away from supercars
- Two battery pack options with an estimated real-world range of 400-500km makes it very usable for long road trips
- Superb infotainment experience: dual 12.3” screens and 16-speaker Harman/Kardon Audio on offer
- The strong safety suite includes well-calibrated L2 ADAS. Works well in Indian conditions
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

Mahindra BE 6 SPORTEQ
- 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
- Low roof and high step inside makes Ingress egress difficult for the elderly in the family
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.
