                      • Pros
                      • Cons
                      • Nissan Magnite

                        • Use of soft touch leatherette padding on all touch points makes the cabin feel a lot more premium
                        • Safety kit has been improved by the availability of 6 airbags from the base-spec variant
                        • It has one of the best performing CVTs under Rs 10 lakh
                        • In its segment, it has one of the most spacious rear seats

                        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
                      • Nissan Magnite

                        • Turbo-petrol engine is not so refined which results in vibrations that can be felt in the footwell, on the steering wheel, and on the seats
                        • While the leatherette padding makes the cabin feel more premium, the flimsy AC knobs, and panel gaps have a negative impact on the overall cabin experience
                        • The feature list still feels pretty small and no major additions were made with the facelift
                        • The 360-degree camera has a grainy feed which is very hard to see in low light conditions

                        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
