Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Mahindra Scorpio N
- Gets powerful turbo-petrol and diesel engines along with the option of four wheel drive.
- Looks rugged and has a commanding road presence.
- Offers good space for five people and their luggage.
- Its features list is a well-loaded balance of comfort, convenience and tech.
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 Scorpio N
- The third row is cramped with insufficient space for adults.
- Boot space is smaller than expected.
- Interior fit and finish should be better for the price.
- Ride quality isn’t as comfortable as its rivals. Stiff and bouncy especially with less load
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
