Pros & Cons
- 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
