If City scores 5 star rating with Stable body shell integrity then 14 pts will be added..so total 94/113 means 83% and Virtus 89% Both are winners🏆🥇 I thoroughly appreciate both manufacturers
City will easily score 5 stars in Global NCAP. The only downside from 4th gen is cabin insulation/NVH which was better in 4th gen... I don't have a problem with engine noise coming in as I like it but most ppl won't
@@vijuvlogs It will score 5 star rating but for that Honda should be willing to send it or let GNCAP buy it and test it..5th gen would have tested by them last year..if 4th gen was discontinued in 2020..but GNCAP considered 4th gen as base variant of City lineup Btw Have you experienced both cars insulation? Engine sound is very good in 5th gen..sounds very sporty.. I would say Best engine sound under 25 lacs currently..
@@TheRockyT07 bro I didn't know about the GNCAP considering 4th gen as base model.. that is good info 🙌🏻 And coming to cabin NVH levels, me and you will like the 5th gen's engine sound inside but older ppl don't... 4th gen was more silent and even the salesman was telling the same that some customers are complaining about more noise in 5th gen... No doubt, we shall enjoy the roar 😀
Where is Honda and VW VW group was ranked no1 in terms of reliability and revenue in 2022. ( audi Lamborghini Porsche) all combined. In India, many think VW is some Chinese brand that brought Polo. Indians are Indians only
Excellent review, as always, Sunderdeep! One minor error - You said you will cut marks for spare wheel size and alloy for Virtus, but gave it 2/2. The score for Virtus is 99/113, and not 101/113. At the same time, I also did the same analysis for my 2022 Polo GT Legend Edition (I know you have done it for Polo Trendline already, but I did it to compare it with Virtus / City). Polo has scored 94/112. The 18 marks lost are as follows - GNCAP - 4 stars for Polo (4 marks lost) Airbags - 2 Airbags in Polo (5 marks lost) Bonnet Insulation, Underbody Cover - Insulation is present, underbody cover absent in Polo (2 marks lost) Safety Features - 6 Airbags missing, 360° camera missing in Polo (2 marks lost) Disc Brakes - 2 discs in Polo (2 marks lost) Spare Wheel and Alloy - Smaller profile steel wheel in Polo (2 marks lost) Adjustable headrests - 4 in Polo (1 mark lost) Boot roof cover is not applicable for Polo, as it is a hatchback, so removing it from numerator and denominator. Thus, Polo scores 94/112 (not 113).
No doubt virtus built quality better then city 🏙️ fair comparison Paji.For new buyers Virtus feels fresh and make scenes hope Honda improve their interior touchscreen and give it fresh look in the upcoming facelift.

Couple of correction Honda City is test is ASEAN NCAP with Kindly refer to it if you are considering Safety rating then VW vritus is also not test in GNACP it should not be considered here as body style of the vehicle also make i impact on safety. even though the platform is same. Rest of the comparison is good NACP part feels bit biased kindly take feedback for future videos
Thanks for the feedback Verma Ji. I have taken it positively. However my counter is - ASEAN NCAP is not valid for India because we have seen Creta scoring better there but not in India. Here Gen 4 City made sense because it is tested in GNCAP and it was not a cheap car, same segment. - Virtus is based on MQB A0 IN and have identical safety features like Taigun. It is not an assumption but I am sure of the 5 stars ratings and any car expert can confirm the same.
Sunder ji I couldn't watch this type review before, really it's very impressive and all your videos are very good.I feel every time your words are very genuine
Today I sent mail to Honda regarding (voluntary) crash test of 5ty Gen CITY by Global NCAP and availability of wheel arch cladding in accessories Hope they will seriously takes this feedback and listen
My current choice in this segment is Skoda Slavia 1.5TSI MT. However, the lack of hood insulation in the Virtus feels very cheap and is not expected from a Vw. I assume the City will also score a perfect five star in gncap its just my hunch. If we also bring in reliability and service into the equation the 1.5 ivtec is ahead by leagues and miles. Effortless performance and its bombproof reliable and if marks are added for that the City will well nudge ahead of the Virtus in totality. The 1.0tsi has a certain clarter which somehow is very bad sounding when compared to the beautiful creamy note of the 4 cylinder vtec. Where theres no beating the Vw is taut suspension which allows tou to carry high speed, excellent low end grunt over ivtec and the feel of doors is something which has to be felt to appreciate. And i will still stand by my pick in the segment the Slavia 1.5tsi manual, the beat car under 20 lakhs and even above.
Nice video paaji..this videos needs lot of views..this is the right way how build quality analysis should be done..just one correction Virtus GT gets same size spare wheel though it is not alloy..Honda gives very thin and cheap looking tyres which we should have pointed out..
did anyone watched that at 17:39 , in all the accidental cars the cabin is completely intact, that only tells the sturdy build of Volkswagen Cars ❤🔥🔥🔥
A small suggestion- Drive both these cars one again back to back and make a video on the driving aspect covering each and every point possible like driving dynamics, steering feel and feedback, your opinion on the suspension setup both during city and highway drives etc.
Hi Sunderdeep, This is nothing related to this video. But, i thought to share this. Yesterday, finally i bought my dream car. Its VW Polo(1.2 MPI.Highline Manual. 28000 km. White color.) It is Pre-Owned. And i bought it from VW's Das Welt Auto Pre-Owned showroom ( BU U Bhandari) Pune.
In-depth, detailed, awesome review, you have attention for details, amazing insights. Thank you for your time and effort paaji, you're amazing! I'm a fan 👍👏👏
Its going to be difficult for Slavia & Virtus to reach Honda City Ownership Status. City with over 2 decades of Presence & Proven Reliability in India. Its goes without saying Sedan means Honda City for most Indians. Especially in the Corporate or Executive world, as its the 1st choice for many as the best chauffeur driven Car. Virtus & Slavia are definitely better Cars but might not overthrow Honda City. Many in India & globally as well Vows for Honda & Toyota Engine life & Reliability. Would like to share a 75 Yrs. senior Citizen statement. Japanese gaddi ko Repair ke Service Stn ki shakal nahi dekni padti hai. Aur European Car me aksar Service Stn le jana padta hai. Aur bahot charge karte hai. He owned a Fiat Linea sold it off in 2 years & bought Honda City. And he is very very Happy with Quality, Comfort, Services. He say buy Japanese for Best Reliability & Durability at least in India.
Yes City was, is and will always remain the king... But hope they don't take that for granted and give a better infotainment system and ventilated seats in the facelift so that it can get even more sales and some Virtus and Slavia customers switch to City in the future... The amount of peace it offers for an owner can never be matched by VW cars
@@vijushetty9404 I agree with you fully. Guaranteed Best ownership experiences with City. Buy once & forget about the Rest, No Tension Car. Atleast for 4-5 lacs Kms or 10 Years. If Serviced every year or as per schedule. Rock Solid Reliability. Slavia-Virtus are yet prove in India. Wait & Watch. But have doubts as demand for Sedans cars are declining at - 20% every year against 20% increase in SUV Sales nos in India. Instead VW-Skoda should have offered New generation India Specific Sub 4 Mts Polo on the same Tiagun-Vertus platform.
@@rajoosolanky780 true but what Slavia and Virtus has done right is the 179 mm ground clearance... And probably that has not compromised anything in terms of driving dynamics but like you said they still have to prove themselves... City has proven for 25 years and will continue to do so... Hopefully turbo variants sold in South East Asian countries be brought here with proper variants to make it more affordable.. With e: Hev they should have given lower variants and one definitely without ADAS and that would have gotten more sales and of course a sub 4 m and 4.3 m crossovers with Hybrid without ADAS would be the best to capture the market
@@vijushetty9404 You are spot on with your Review. Apart from NA Petrol ivTec they have to offer affordable 1.5 Turbo charged as well with & without HeV. So there there will be 1.5 NA iVtec with HeV, 1.5 TC with HeV & 1.5 TC only to compete with competition. Yes the same power trains are possible to on all soon to be launched Sub 4 Mts, 4.3 Coupe or big Hatch or SUVs with slightly higher Ground Clearance. Honda offers the World's Best Refined & Reliable Petrol Engine. They have the best cabin space designed interior. More people & less machine management philosophy in their design. But it was stupid on part of Honda Motors to be not serious with Indian customers requirements & competition offerings.
Really great video as always. I thoroughly wish that you keep on doing such reviews and in future we may get to see full comparision videos of all cars in every segment like all sub compact SUVs compared in one video. Keep making such highly informative videos😁
how much costs to company save by not providing wheel well cladding and power window switches backlighting. 50 lakh + Fortuner doesn't have wheel well cladding. Very curious!
very nicely explained. this is the video i was looking for which no other TH-camr talks about. One request to be made though kindly give an explanation or points for the glass area also. some companies like Maruti and Toyota use green-tinted/shaded UV-protected glasses that get darker in the sun, making the car look premium and helping keep the car cool. Points should be given for that also.
Correction: •City no longer gets spare alloy •Regarding corrosion, it’s after 5 Years that you need to look at them. My 10+ Years old Vento had no rust anywhere, not even underbody while a similarly aged City of a relative was rusting like anything wherever you look and it wasn’t even a neglected car. That’s a problem with all Hondas
I think City headrests in 5th gen deserves 4/5 because even though it's not adjustable, it's capable of protecting the passengers in a whiplash except for the middle passenger
@@SunderdeepSingh sir I think based on the seating position i.e., recline, it's good enough to cover a 6 ft guy. But in 4th gen and in Amaze, they are very small. They are similar to the middle headrest of this 5th gen.. I have it and even all reviewers have mentioned that. I will also give you a logical explanation for whiplash... It's from our neck that can break and these headrests (2/3 rear) are good enough till 6ft passengers. Above that I agree but if someone is above 6ft they should avoid 5th gen City as they will not have sufficient headroom in the rear seats... Do you agree?
Earlier was thinking that was my decision right considering slavia instead of creta and city, now after getting clarity now thinking that should I have waited and went for virtus 😂 as I bought in march so virtus was not launched at that time confusion man in my life 😂
One thing is not fair , you gave full marks of safety rating to virtus , which is not tested yet while gave no marks to city which got 5 star in Asean Ncap
Any car person would agree to this: MQB A0 IN platform will ensure 5 stars, there is no doubt about it. Second, City Gen 4 was super expensive too but scored 4 with unstable bodyshell. This is how things work, these are not assumptions but a pattern of the brands that make things easy while doing such analysis.

hi Sunderdeep Singh, I want to but slavia or virtus. So can you please tell annual maintenance (service + parts change + wheel alignment etc) of both cars means total how much these cars will take from my pocket annually
@@SunderdeepSingh Paaji look carefully at 19:11 & 28:30 beside taigun, it's a touareg! I am surprised that you didn't recognise that rare beauty being a vw fan😅
Well this interior review was very in depth, although I like skoda slavia outside appearance more than virtues, but interiorwise virtues is better. But overall appearance from outside and inside City appearance is more attractive. City beats virtues and Slavia in terms of value for money in lower variants(v and vx) by margin by ticking all the checkboxes. Whereas Slavia and Virtues top models are better than city because of 1.5 ltr engine but again at a price, so top models of their can be compared with ehev only where city again leads because of new technologies. Rest about safety untill and unless both cars are tested by NCAP I would not agree on differences. Both cars not tested and if you say Taigun test and 4th gen test i disagree because city has a generation change and as a city owner i am supplied with information that same city has been tested in Asian 5star, so let's wait for test in GNCAP. I like both cars and companies, but like overall package of city more because of value for money, service, resale and trust of years.
City 4th gen was an expensive car but ratings are quite average. I gave Taigun 4 top on the assumptions but they have come clean with 5. I cannot simply give 5 to City on assumptions.
This is by far the best comparison video on these cars on youtube! Thank you for posting this. How about the NVH levels of the Virtus 1L 3 cylinder engine? Is it noisy ? also the ac perfomance on virtus, i have been hearing a lot of mixed reviews about the ac on vw cars.
I must say Honda city's seats looks comfy and class apart just by sitting on my couch. Just can Imagine the Seats in reality. Virtus is amazing but Interiors looks so classy and plush in both cars but city takes the cake for its seats. I also didn't like the handbrake of virtus.
Is the build quality concept same as passenger safety? Are they correlated? Should we always purchase cars by keeping an eye on their GNCAP ratings? Some people talk about crumple zone and hence say that a suzuki car has best crumple zone but upto what extent a crumple zone should be present? Tata cars after colliding do get damage but dont crumple like suzuki ones. DOES IT MEAN SUZUKI IS SAFE THAN TATA? Also I think what matters is that after collision the pillars roof and cabin should be intact. ANYONE PLEASE CLEAR ALL MY DOUBTS.
Sunderdeep ji, Namaste 🙏 . Can you please make DETAILED video about - "What things a buyer must see while purchasing a new car?" And here I am not talking about gimmicky features like Maruti and Hyundai give in their cars to fool customers.
Why you considered 4 star rating for City? 4th gen scored 4 star rating but 5th gen is 5 star rated by Asean NCAP which is equivalent to indian variant also..honda officially claimed by Honda india.. As we know honda doesn't cut cost in safety platform and structural rigidity country to country Asean is more trustable and stricter than GNCAP Hope you understand
th-cam.com/video/y63yUZHvjLs/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=GlobalNCAP ASEAN cannot be assumed for India. 4th Gen was rated unstable which definitely is a little disappointing.
Valid point!! As 5th generation is the latest model!! Honda also gave DOHC for the new engine! I expected engine comparison of Honda & VW!! Nobody can beat VW in body shell!! It's the engine, where comparison is interesting!!
@@SunderdeepSingh Sir 14.5 lakhs ex showroom me slavia aur virtus automatic bhi a jayegi woh kaisi rahegi XUV 300 turbo sports ke comparison me i know they belong to different segment but i am asking according to price point of view ??
Hi @sunderdeep ji. I am big fan of VW as you are and follow each video. Have a question, if I have 40 lacs budget, would you suggest to go with VW Tiguan or Hyundai Tucson which is recently launched. Since I am VW fan, my heart says to go with TIGUAN but is it worth spending 42 lacs on road in Hyderabad for Tiguan ? Also please make a video comparing both these cars mentioned above
Both are winners Goel ji, pick what your heart says. Tiguan definitely have an edge in the quality but Tucson as a CKD is a tried & tested vehicle with all points in the dynamics covered. Check both vehicles extensively. Should consider Q3 as well if discounts are there.
@@SunderdeepSingh thankyou paaji for your prompt response. Will do as you suggested. Will keep you posted 😊. If possible, make a video comparing both these cars.

Airbags - 2 Airbags in Polo (5 marks lost)
Bonnet Insulation, Underbody Cover - Insulation is present, underbody cover absent in Polo (2 marks lost)

A small suggestion- Drive both these cars one again back to back and make a video on the driving aspect covering each and every point possible like driving dynamics, steering feel and feedback, your opinion on the suspension setup both during city and highway drives etc.
Sure Brother, good idea
@@SunderdeepSingh Thanks. Looking forward for the video.
Idea aapka tha ya Mehta Saab ka?🤣
@@vijuvlogs bilkul Mehta sahab ka hi tha.. comment bhi unhone hi likha

Hi Sunderdeep,
This is nothing related to this video. But, i thought to share this.
Yesterday, finally i bought my dream car. Its VW Polo(1.2 MPI.Highline Manual. 28000 km. White color.) It is Pre-Owned. And i bought it from VW's Das Welt Auto Pre-Owned showroom ( BU U Bhandari) Pune.
Congratulations 🥳
Pls share your experience
In-depth, detailed, awesome review, you have attention for details, amazing insights. Thank you for your time and effort paaji, you're amazing! I'm a fan 👍👏👏
Thanks Ahuja Bro
Its going to be difficult for Slavia & Virtus to reach Honda City Ownership Status. City with over 2 decades of Presence & Proven Reliability in India.
Its goes without saying Sedan means Honda City for most Indians. Especially in the Corporate or Executive world, as its the 1st choice for many as the best chauffeur driven Car.
Virtus & Slavia are definitely better Cars but might not overthrow Honda City.
Many in India & globally as well Vows for Honda & Toyota Engine life & Reliability.
Would like to share a 75 Yrs. senior Citizen statement. Japanese gaddi ko Repair ke Service Stn ki shakal nahi dekni padti hai. Aur European Car me aksar Service Stn le jana padta hai. Aur bahot charge karte hai.
He owned a Fiat Linea sold it off in 2 years & bought Honda City. And he is very very Happy with Quality, Comfort, Services. He say buy Japanese for Best Reliability & Durability at least in India.
I fully agree
Yes City was, is and will always remain the king... But hope they don't take that for granted and give a better infotainment system and ventilated seats in the facelift so that it can get even more sales and some Virtus and Slavia customers switch to City in the future...
The amount of peace it offers for an owner can never be matched by VW cars
@@vijushetty9404 I agree with you fully. Guaranteed Best ownership experiences with City. Buy once & forget about the Rest, No Tension Car. Atleast for 4-5 lacs Kms or 10 Years. If Serviced every year or as per schedule.
Rock Solid Reliability. Slavia-Virtus are yet prove in India. Wait & Watch. But have doubts as demand for Sedans cars are declining at - 20% every year against 20% increase in SUV Sales nos in India.
Instead VW-Skoda should have offered New generation India Specific Sub 4 Mts Polo on the same Tiagun-Vertus platform.
@@rajoosolanky780 true but what Slavia and Virtus has done right is the 179 mm ground clearance... And probably that has not compromised anything in terms of driving dynamics but like you said they still have to prove themselves... City has proven for 25 years and will continue to do so...
Hopefully turbo variants sold in South East Asian countries be brought here with proper variants to make it more affordable..
With e: Hev they should have given lower variants and one definitely without ADAS and that would have gotten more sales and of course a sub 4 m and 4.3 m crossovers with Hybrid without ADAS would be the best to capture the market
@@vijushetty9404 You are spot on with your Review. Apart from NA Petrol ivTec they have to offer affordable 1.5 Turbo charged as well with & without HeV.
So there there will be 1.5 NA iVtec with HeV, 1.5 TC with HeV & 1.5 TC only to compete with competition.
Yes the same power trains are possible to on all soon to be launched Sub 4 Mts, 4.3 Coupe or big Hatch or SUVs with slightly higher Ground Clearance.
Honda offers the World's Best Refined & Reliable Petrol Engine.
They have the best cabin space designed interior. More people & less machine management philosophy in their design. But it was stupid on part of Honda Motors to be not serious with Indian customers requirements & competition offerings.
Really great video as always. I thoroughly wish that you keep on doing such reviews and in future we may get to see full comparision videos of all cars in every segment like all sub compact SUVs compared in one video. Keep making such highly informative videos😁
Bro, aage bahut acha concept le k aa raha hoon ;) Dekhte rahiye 🙏
@@SunderdeepSingh Excited for it :)
City wins in maintenance.
Both the cars are awesome.
Here before jethalal
🥳😂
😒😒
Very well made video. Appreciate your hard work and passion. Love following your channel. Regards and best🎉wishes
Thanks Vinod ji
Hello paaji! I adore your in-depth knowledge which you present in videos. Keep it up 👍
how much costs to company save by not providing wheel well cladding and power window switches backlighting. 50 lakh + Fortuner doesn't have wheel well cladding. Very curious!
Must be some thousands
I feel Virtus is better if you just compare it minus the hybrid aspect. With the hybrid aspect, Honda does have an edge
Honda city engine + vw built quality agar hota toh mazaa aa jata...
But i ll choose honda city any day...
Driving ka mazaa hi alag hain yaar... 🙌🙌🙌
This is what I call a Honest & unbiased comparison between two cars build quality !!!!
Thanks 🙏
very nicely explained. this is the video i was looking for which no other TH-camr talks about. One request to be made though kindly give an explanation or points for the glass area also. some companies like Maruti and Toyota use green-tinted/shaded UV-protected glasses that get darker in the sun, making the car look premium and helping keep the car cool. Points should be given for that also.
Correction:
•City no longer gets spare alloy
•Regarding corrosion, it’s after 5 Years that you need to look at them. My 10+ Years old Vento had no rust anywhere, not even underbody while a similarly aged City of a relative was rusting like anything wherever you look and it wasn’t even a neglected car. That’s a problem with all Hondas
I know Brother, long term Honda, Mahindra, Tata have these issues.
My 10 year old Honda City third gen had no rusting issues at all.
City vx also doesn't get alloy now? Pls reply..i hv booked city and pdi done..but spare steel tyre was not alloy..pls tell me if u know amything
@@SanjayK-zu3vc No. It doesn’t. Earlier as well, only ZX used to get it probably IIRC.
Bahot badhiya sir, so detailed video
Tysm
I think City headrests in 5th gen deserves 4/5 because even though it's not adjustable, it's capable of protecting the passengers in a whiplash except for the middle passenger
They are very small at the rear
@@SunderdeepSingh sir I think based on the seating position i.e., recline, it's good enough to cover a 6 ft guy. But in 4th gen and in Amaze, they are very small. They are similar to the middle headrest of this 5th gen..
I have it and even all reviewers have mentioned that.
I will also give you a logical explanation for whiplash...
It's from our neck that can break and these headrests (2/3 rear) are good enough till 6ft passengers. Above that I agree but if someone is above 6ft they should avoid 5th gen City as they will not have sufficient headroom in the rear seats...
Do you agree?
Very nicely explained
Earlier was thinking that was my decision right considering slavia instead of creta and city, now after getting clarity now thinking that should I have waited and went for virtus 😂
as I bought in march so virtus was not launched at that time
confusion man in my life 😂
Slavia and virtus. Both are same mostly
@@drbsnsuri only because of looks bro, drive wise fully satisfied with Slavia and slowly design also grew on me
Nice review as always. I hope city scores good in ncap
really detail review..i never seen this kind of comparison.
Thanks a lot 🙏
Share it
Booked my Virtus topline 1.0 today
Congratulations 🥳
One thing is not fair , you gave full marks of safety rating to virtus , which is not tested yet while gave no marks to city which got 5 star in Asean Ncap
Any car person would agree to this:
MQB A0 IN platform will ensure 5 stars, there is no doubt about it.
Second, City Gen 4 was super expensive too but scored 4 with unstable bodyshell.
This is how things work, these are not assumptions but a pattern of the brands that make things easy while doing such analysis.
In terms of panel gaps virtus has little edge over honda city it feels like panels are integrated with each other
Yes
Great review.
Paaji October QnA Session Kb Upload Krr Rahe Aap.??
i Hope Aap QnA Mein Mera Ek Quetion Sunroof Wala Consider Karenge..Ki Agar Koi Safety Purpose Se Car Lena Chahta Hai To Kya Use Sunroof Wali Car Buy Krni Chahiye..And Sunroof Kitna Reliable Hota Hai..Kya Wo Break Ho Jaata hai..???
Please Paaji Apne QnA Mein Ye Point Jaroor Consider Krna Aap Detail Mein..🙏🏻
बहुत बढ़िया,तुलनात्मक वर्णन
Honda city 5th gen scored 5/5 stars although it was made in Thailand but still Honda has said it has same hss steel so there's a high chance for 5 stars
But we have to take gncap in the consideration. Creta too scored 4 in asean ncap.
@@SunderdeepSingh Yups, I agree, but they never talked about using same hss as international version. They just said hss but what type they never mentioned
@@SunderdeepSingh That creta was last gen..New gen haven't been tested by ASEAN NCAP
Hyundai never claimed that they use same hss in their cars selling in india
Everything very well explained 👏 .Great video. Please compare Tata vs Mahindra (Safari vs XUV700, Nexon vs xuv 300)
And Maruti vs Hyundai /Kia
Sir please do build quality analysis of new i20 and new Baleno 🙏...
I feel both are somewhat similar in build quality....elite i20 used to be robust !
Elite i20 surely is better
Sunderdeep ji kaise h aap, I am also using VW VENTO 1.5 DSG automatic from last 5 years. But I want to purchase VW VERTUS GT but some issues with this car, Antipintch feature, AC Vent Quality & design, noise from blow the Gear Nobe etc....... aapne VW Director Ashish Gupta ji k sath Discussion kiya tha, Virtus GT k Antipintch one touch up or down k regarding, or jo Gear Nobe vali jagha se awaj aati h Plastic quality , Hand Break ki quality, updation k liye kya baat hue h plz bataeye, Mujhe Vertus GT leni h
Boht vadiya veer👍👍
Tysm
awesome video
Great comparison sir..but I will still go for honda city bcoz of unmatched reliability and zero maintenance.
Please review the 2023 honda city ‼️⭐‼️⭐ your analysis would be appreciated 👍🏽
Sir , my uses are mainly in city delhi 20 kms a day , 500 kms a month . Should i buy virtus or kushaq or elevate
Both are great options, pick any in AT.
In Comfort, dynamics and reliability...no one stand close to Honda City...Honda city is a 5 star NCAP rated car thus build quality too is superb
5 star not in India, just like Creta which scored better in ASEAN ncap. City for India 4th gen scored 4 stars with unstable bodyshell.
hi Sunderdeep Singh, I want to but slavia or virtus. So can you please tell annual maintenance (service + parts change + wheel alignment etc) of both cars means total how much these cars will take from my pocket annually
14:08 is that a vw touareg???? It's an ultra rare beauty 😍😭😭. Btw nice comparison as usual 👏
Bro, I think it’s Tiguan ;)
@@SunderdeepSingh Paaji look carefully at 19:11 & 28:30 beside taigun, it's a touareg! I am surprised that you didn't recognise that rare beauty being a vw fan😅
@@SunderdeepSingh Zoom it & see, it's a 2009 vw touareg 🤤, i am sad that you missed to see that rare gem🥲
@@SSPCars Oh yeah :) Standing on the right side. GEM!
Sir you have nicely explained, Please make video on comparing in similar fashion Tata, Mahindra and Volkswagen
Visiting Mahindra and Tata tomorrow.
Thanks sir
Everything is good but where is the sales figure?
I expected the sales figure to improve.
VW are bunch of lazy lads. Keeping only 4K quota for India, rest exports.
Good discussion
Well this interior review was very in depth, although I like skoda slavia outside appearance more than virtues, but interiorwise virtues is better. But overall appearance from outside and inside City appearance is more attractive. City beats virtues and Slavia in terms of value for money in lower variants(v and vx) by margin by ticking all the checkboxes. Whereas Slavia and Virtues top models are better than city because of 1.5 ltr engine but again at a price, so top models of their can be compared with ehev only where city again leads because of new technologies.
Rest about safety untill and unless both cars are tested by NCAP I would not agree on differences. Both cars not tested and if you say Taigun test and 4th gen test i disagree because city has a generation change and as a city owner i am supplied with information that same city has been tested in Asian 5star, so let's wait for test in GNCAP.
I like both cars and companies, but like overall package of city more because of value for money, service, resale and trust of years.
City 4th gen was an expensive car but ratings are quite average. I gave Taigun 4 top on the assumptions but they have come clean with 5. I cannot simply give 5 to City on assumptions.

This is by far the best comparison video on these cars on youtube! Thank you for posting this.
How about the NVH levels of the Virtus 1L 3 cylinder engine? Is it noisy ? also the ac perfomance on virtus, i have been hearing a lot of mixed reviews about the ac on vw cars.
It is noisy under 2000 rpm but once it keeps running, it becomes silent. This is what I noticed in Slavia.
@@SunderdeepSingh thank you for the reply. Would you pick the virtus 1L or Honda city 1.5L NA ?
@@veeraldogra5684 he had already buyed slavia instead of city means still he will consider virtus instead of city
I must say Honda city's seats looks comfy and class apart just by sitting on my couch. Just can Imagine the Seats in reality. Virtus is amazing but Interiors looks so classy and plush in both cars but city takes the cake for its seats. I also didn't like the handbrake of virtus.
0:02 IGI airport T3 clip.. last week dekha tha and safari dark was also there
Yup :)
Can hood insulation be retrofitted in Taigun? I got October 22 manufactured, still does not have it
Yes, you can now
Great video.
Please do analysis for xuv300 turbosport if possible.
Sure 🙏
Is the build quality concept same as passenger safety? Are they correlated? Should we always purchase cars by keeping an eye on their GNCAP ratings?
Some people talk about crumple zone and hence say that a suzuki car has best crumple zone but upto what extent a crumple zone should be present? Tata cars after colliding do get damage but dont crumple like suzuki ones. DOES IT MEAN SUZUKI IS SAFE THAN TATA? Also I think what matters is that after collision the pillars roof and cabin should be intact. ANYONE PLEASE CLEAR ALL MY DOUBTS.
Your effort is appreciated👏 nice one👍
Maintaining Honda City is so easy on pocket, I’m sure it’s a lot easier than Virtus.
Excellent job !!!
Very deep and helpful. Cheers
Paaji hamesha bolta hoon... Mg hector ka build analysis kariye please.
Waiting for your video sir on toyota hyryder strong hybrid!Drive review..eagerly waiting
I actually don’t like the build of GV & showroom guys won’t allow to speak the truth. Now I need to arrange a car to review. :)
I really like to watch your this kind of long videos 🫶🏻

Sunderdeep ji, Namaste 🙏 .
Can you please make DETAILED video about - "What things a buyer must see while purchasing a new car?" And here I am not talking about gimmicky features like Maruti and Hyundai give in their cars to fool customers.
Why you considered 4 star rating for City?
4th gen scored 4 star rating but 5th gen is 5 star rated by Asean NCAP which is equivalent to indian variant also..honda officially claimed by Honda india..
As we know honda doesn't cut cost in safety platform and structural rigidity country to country
Asean is more trustable and stricter than GNCAP
Hope you understand
th-cam.com/video/y63yUZHvjLs/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=GlobalNCAP
ASEAN cannot be assumed for India. 4th Gen was rated unstable which definitely is a little disappointing.
What paaji said is true
Valid point!! As 5th generation is the latest model!! Honda also gave DOHC for the new engine! I expected engine comparison of Honda & VW!! Nobody can beat VW in body shell!! It's the engine, where comparison is interesting!!
All beige seats look more premium
Right, City looks better
Paji XUV 300 Turbo Sports Manual or Taigun 1.0L TSI Manual which is better ?
XUV 300 Turbo is the best VFM here
@@SunderdeepSingh Sir 14.5 lakhs ex showroom me slavia aur virtus automatic bhi a jayegi woh kaisi rahegi XUV 300 turbo sports ke comparison me i know they belong to different segment but i am asking according to price point of view ??
Paaji would like to see tata harrier's & ford ecosport's bq analysis

Very Good Brother. Super
Hi @sunderdeep ji. I am big fan of VW as you are and follow each video. Have a question, if I have 40 lacs budget, would you suggest to go with VW Tiguan or Hyundai Tucson which is recently launched. Since I am VW fan, my heart says to go with TIGUAN but is it worth spending 42 lacs on road in Hyderabad for Tiguan ? Also please make a video comparing both these cars mentioned above
Both are winners Goel ji, pick what your heart says. Tiguan definitely have an edge in the quality but Tucson as a CKD is a tried & tested vehicle with all points in the dynamics covered. Check both vehicles extensively. Should consider Q3 as well if discounts are there.
@@SunderdeepSingh thankyou paaji for your prompt response. Will do as you suggested. Will keep you posted 😊. If possible, make a video comparing both these cars.
1 l engine sufficient hei?
I have hood insulation in my new virtus 1L automatic topline
That's great!!!!
Honda city engine more reliable than virtus which is very important to any car
1.5 TSI & 1.0 TSI are extremely reliable but yes 1.5 NA has an edge.
Turbocharger can't be reliable.
Paji ,, polo di disc brake change krni aa ,, kehri company di shi rhegi
Volkclub pe sir you should have an option of used car listing for customers who wants to buy 2nd hand vw skoda cars.
It only has an option to sell car
If ur ready spend go for VW
If u want less maintenance long term car then honda city
Would you recommend adding the under bonnet cladding if it becomes available with the service centre? Should improve cabin insulation.
Definitely Yes for the Engine safety
