                Pros & Cons

                • Cons
                • Mahindra Bolero

                  • Looks rugged: Its boxy proportions and muscular design elements can be recognised from a distance
                  • Capable enough: The rear-wheel-drive setup and a torque-y diesel engine allows it to challenge rough terrains
                  • Powerful AC cools the cabin very quickly

                  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 Bolero

                  • Bare bones: Except for a small touchscreen, it does not get any premium features
                  • Bumpy ride: Being a ladder-on-frame SUV, the ride quality comes with a lot of body roll

                  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.
