                Pros & Cons

                • Pros
                • Cons
                • MG Hector

                  • Feels and looks premium inside and out
                  • Generous cabin space, comfortable for even taller passengers
                  • Loaded with good features like a 14-inch touchscreen, ventilated front seats, and a panoramic sunroof
                  • Safety kit boosted by the inclusion of ADAS
                  • A refined petrol engine with comfortable ride quality

                  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
                • MG Hector

                  • Its styling could seem too blingy to some buyers
                  • Has lost out on the mild-hybrid tech; still no diesel-auto combo
                  • Its electronics could have been more responsive
                  • Should have had better contoured seats and underthigh support at the rear
                  • Fuel efficiency of the petrol engine is still an issue

                  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
