                Pros & Cons

                • Cons
                • MG Hector

                  • Looks: Feels premium inside and out
                  • Space is great with generous room even for taller passengers
                  • Loaded with good features like a 14-inch touchscreen, ventilated front seats, and a panoramic sunroof
                  • Strong safety kit with features like ADAS and 360-degree camera
                  • A refined petrol engine with comfortable ride quality

                  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
                • MG Hector

                  • The big grille and chrome elements can be too blingy for some buyers
                  • No automatic transmission with the diesel engine
                  • Should have had better contoured seats and underthigh support at the rear
                  • Fuel efficiency of the petrol engine is still an issue

                  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.
