                • Pros
                • Cons
                • Honda City

                  • Spacious cabin. Rear seat kneeroom rivals cars from a segment above.

                  • Updated exterior makes it more tempting
                  • ADAS standard in multiple variants

                  Volkswagen Virtus

                  • Classy, understated styling. Sporty GT variant on offer too

                • Honda City

                  • Diesel motor is now discontinued
                  • Tight rear seat headroom

                  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
