Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Maruti Suzuki Ertiga
- Comfortable 7-seater family car with usable space and practicality in all rows.
- Ride quality is comfortable over imperfections and regular speedbreakers.
- Available with a CNG: barely any difference in performance within city limits.
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

Maruti Suzuki Ertiga
- No diesel engine options: would’ve been great for efficient highway runs.
- Boot space: Strictly limited to a couple of mid-sized suitcases with all three rows up.
- No tumble and fold function for the second row: would’ve made third row ingress-egress easier.
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.
