Virtus leading easily with a 50%+ vote on teamBHP, VW India clearly have created something really special. I really hope they give the interiors a little bit of a source up. Make buyers feel they are sitting in a 25L car.

Honestly speaking I'd take the VW Virtus because I just think it looks awesome. But considering the fact that Skoda's got sort of a better brand value in the country, I'd rather go for it's sister car, the Slavia

Recently i have been looking out for car.
I would choose VW Taigun because of practicality like better visibility and ofcourse great driving dynamics.
Can anyone confirm on my query.
Volkswagen salesperson always highlighted the difference from skoda in terms of infotainment brand, engine tuning, and parts difference.
Like infotainment system and speakers in Volkswagen is by Harman Kardon but in skoda it is by Panasonic.
Engine tuning with AT is better in volkswagen which i also felt.
And some parts like steering assembly, break pads still comes from Germany in volkswagen but Sokda used Indian vendors.

My vote went to VW Virtus.

I had the opportunity to drive both VW Virtus and Skoda Slavia in their 1.0 AT and 1.5 DSG avatars within a week of each other.
I found more likes for Virtus compared to Slavia.


Even after ₹2+ lakh discounts available on Kushaq 1.5 DSG and Taigun 1.5 DSG, these 2.0 SUVs still did not tug my heart as much as their sedans do.
I saw Kushaq Sportline and Taigun GT Sport in the showroom. Taigun GT Sport looks much better than Kushaq.


Likes for Virtus GT:
- Better looking interior that feels sporty.
- The red accents and red instrument cluster looks good (not overdose of red).
- Black alloys make the exterior look better in all color combinations.
- Infotainment is integrated well in the dashboard. I am not a fan of new infotainments where it sticks out of the dashboard like an aftermarket accessory.
- 3 spoke steering wheel.
- Buttons on the steering felt in place similar to the setup of my Polo GT.
- Ventilated seat button location.
- Looks like an evolution of Jetta.
- Simple, elegant and timeless front and rear fascia.
- No chrome elements present in new Sport variants.
- Deep black pearl all black look in GT Sport will look awesome.
Dislikes for Virtus:
- No option to get lighter colored interior in 1.5 DSG variant.
- All black interiors (black seats and black roof liner) make the cabin feel smaller in GT Plus variants. I am told that GTLine gets light colored roof liner, but the GTLine is not a GT as it gets the same 1.0 TC AT.


Likes for Slavia:
- Tornado Red (the red shade which I like from VW cars) and Crystal Blue colors (new unique shade of blue).
- Dual tone lighter colored interior available in 1.5 DSG combination.
- New Sportline trim gets 1.5 DSG with sunroof (for those who want a sunroof and DSG combination).
- Blacked exterior elements make the Sportline look good.
- Looks like evolution of Octavia (in smaller form).
- You get a small storage box on lower right side of the steering.
Dislikes for Slavia:
- Big front grille is not for my liking.
- 2 spoke steering wheel. I am still old school guy who likes 3 spoke steering wheels.
- Hanging infotainment unit. It looks like it was stuck on the dashboard as an accessory.
