I see a lot of these type of channels.. I hv came to conclusion that this guy speaks only truth and truth nothin else... other channels speak wat ppl want to hear
@Nitesh uska mene ye dekha hai ki knowledge ni zyada... ek video mein honda city ki driving ko verna se compare kar raha tha.. aur ek mein i-vtec engine ki sound ko bura bol ra tha... 😅
I've Ameo 1.5 Diesel 7speed DSG...Gives 24kmpl on highway at speed of 100-120 and 15-17kmpl in city. I still love it better and can connect with this guy on steering as my car steering is lot better than new gen VW cars.
I don't press the LIKE button on videos usually. But your review is just amazing. As a tall person, I liked the way your colleague checked the distance between himself & cabin when seated. I do that a dozen times myself.
Sir I have been a proud owner of a VW Vento 2012 model and recently updated to Skoda Slavia 1.5 MT. I am in complete accord with you on the steering accuracy as you described. However after driving my car for almost 1500km I now don’t feel it even when I switch back to the old Vento. Perhaps you should try driving a owned car which has been driven by an owner for some time. The steering also feels light (Can steer with a finger). I also feel the ideal tyre inflation pressure should be 33 if the front and 35 in the rear. Hope these parameters appeal to your driving pleasure at it does mine. Cheers!
@@Ajnn244 Just get a 1.5 if you can. More power is always better. VW Group 1.0 Engines are underpowered. The 1,5 on the Slavia is nearly as punchy as my Audi A4 2019 35 TFSI.
So glad to watch ICN unbiased review videos. Big journalists so called try not to show the downsides but with ICN you honestly get the minutest good and the bad about any car review which is why i always rely! These negative highlighted would not feature in any video infact negative is important to b highlighted as customers will b spending big money and they should know what they are signing for. And yes subscribed to the channel!!
My Slavia 1.5 DSG has given me 18.6 KMPL end to end in the morning trip. It was round 60 km from Gurgaon to GHZ at 6:30 am with one person inside and AC on auto, highest speed touched 120 KMPH in between.
Your are best person who explains in very detail compared to any other automobile review channels .thanks to you my all doubts are cleared by watching the vedio.
This car may Be Hit In Sedan market We Don't know but ICN Review Will Definitely Go For Superhit In Any time.. Once again pure review Proper info. And Always carrying Profinulisum , Nice presentation.
The dashboard in the current VW Polo is same to that of the Virtus and it comes with high quality soft touch surface abroad. So VW should really work on the quality of the interior as it's not fair that they give lesser quality in Indian products. With that said, I'm a VW Polo owner both in Germany and in India and I generally like VW cars.
jitni wheelbase badhegi for same/similar mechanicals, utna under steery lagega... by no means it's handling is worse than Vento.. it has to lug in extra length.. however, it can be said they didn't improve on Vento in that aspect
Great review, really helpful. However, I have a couple of questions. It would be very helpful if you can answer it for me please. 1. How does the cylinder de-activation technology affects the engine life in long term? 2. If Two cylinders are used more than the others, wouldn't it increase the wear and tear of those two which have been working more than remaining two? 3. How these cylinders are selected? As in, every time 2 random cylinders are selected for de-activation or only 2 specific cylinders will be de-activated every time?
Won't really affect the engine life as, you're putting way more stress on each cylinder while driving in a spirited manner. Compared to that, this is nothing. Plus engine can go upto 500K kms in a standard life span, so does it really matter if any engine life is reduced?
It would deactivate the 2 cylinders only when it can manage the load with 2 cylinders and doesn’t require to use the other 2. So in a way it would save the wear and tear of 2 cylinders.
@@ronaik I know that but question is which 2 cylinders are deactivated? Also, there are vidoes of cylinder deactivation tech of Honda leading to uneven wear and tear of cylinders, which effects the life of whole engine. I think same goes for Volkswagen/ Skoda as well due to same principle. I am looking if there is a way to disable the cylinder de-activation in Skoda without affecting the warranty.
A very good review, the opinions on ride and steering, dynamics are so apt. The soft steering setup is an "off" for enthusiast. I have driven skoda slavia, disappointing to know that the vw, driver's car is giving away it's flavor for the mass, comfort oriented, lazy market
0:48 owners manuals are generally common for all-over the markets so for international market they have given the information of 1.6 MPI as they still sell this engine in European and South American market.
1 ltr kon se buyer k liye achha h n 1.5 ltr kinke liye. Kon sa lena chahiye or kyu lena chahiye.? Is segment me kon achha hai.? Your opinion is very much needed.
@@ICN I totally agree. Even maine Slavia chalaiye, I still can't get confidence when I was over 100 on steering and dynamics what rapid use to give. But as you mentioned VW Virtus agr price ko accha package kre toh Verna and honda city ki sales ko cutoff kregi bohot and showbaazi bhi hai issmein ab. All over a good review Vikas Bhai. Keep the same going. All the love from Bhopal.
what other car of 19lak rupee giving 150bhp gives more features like electric seats etc? there is no point in complaining about lack of some luxury features when you get 1.5tsi with dsg under 20lak in bs6 era.
Hi, Recently came accross ur channel, unbiased review.Want to know which one should I go for among Kia seltos being a SUV or VW siblings (Vertus & Slavia), Considering metro city drive only,in bumper to bumper traffic.50 kms daily.
Thanks for unbiased review..@ICN studio. One question I want to buy compact SUV or mid size SUV for family of 5.. what will be your choice between 8 to 15 lakhs ex showroom.. running is low, love to drive car..I know you will provide best answer...and it will help alot of people like me.. who is in dilemma..like compact vs midsize.. petrol vs disel ( 15 years in Maharashtra)..etc..
How is the ac performance of 1.5 vs 1 Liter? It's written about a lot on forums online. Was it the experience that at too low or too high rpm the ac cuts off?
Good detailed video. If you get a chance try honda civic 10 Gen and compare the drive dynamics and ride quality. I feel Honda is better in terms of dynamics and ride quality and confidence u get when turning on faster speeds. Better if stock tires and stock suspension Thx
Sir can you please help me in a doubt that after virtus purchase .. will i regret paying the maintenance costs and service costs ?? I am so much confused as i am a person who thinks about long term which always contradicts my decisions.. please as a car enthusiast let me know about the difference in service and maintainemce cost between virtus and CITY so that i can easily take my decision. Thankyou in advance
Question- from rear seat the view is such that the back seat passanger can view only front seat and hardly anything on road from front window without making efforts. What’s your opinion on this as compared to other cars
That’s exactly what’s being shown here. Why do I have to first first press the right or upper button then select end and press ok to end a simple call especially when I am driving?
namskar bahiya g , apne anne wali video me ye jaroor batana ki ventilated seat keval bhaukal hai ya genuinely kaam ka hota hai. kya sabka ventilated seat bahut achha hota hai.
Hye vikas this is Amit plz make a video about what will be the future scope of petrol diesel engine cars No one is giving true opinion about above case u plz make a video so it will be helpful for selecting a car I have already booked XUV 700
I own a Polo ..and I already know that it's not a true VW in terms of Quality, Safety and most importantly...High Speed Driving Pleasure ...but still the best package in the segment
how do you know all that without even seeing the car in person.. fanboyism much! I have been in a Polo (owned by my friend) so many times and I never found it any special.. it might appear nimble to the drivers because it's so puny
Commendable job Vikas sir once again... And you shouldn't forget that you are driving a Volkswagen 😂 Anyways, is the 3 cylinder engine a naturally aspirated one ??
Thank you for your reply. What about the overall build quality? Is this better than city 5th gen? Is Virtus worth it as the price would be higher than city? My main concern is build quality. Please provide your suggestion.
Nice review, have you tried putting it in sports profile which give more precise steering feedback … can tell you from experience owning Tiguan allspace.
I would have loved to see a compact sedan which means bit less boot space and under 4 m with 4 cylinder engine and 1.3 or 1.5 ltr engine with good AC( as I am used to temp around 26 or 27°C ) and good steering control. That would make more sense for most as not everyone needs too much bootspace. Those who need more bootspace can fold their rear seats to accommodate more stuff. Those who want more bootspace can go in bigger sedans or bigger SUV but most won't require that. Comfort of sedans hatchbacks can't match but really no one is making those. Dzire etc I don't like bcz we feel that we are sitting extremely low and my height is less. Hopefully Volkswagen can make a trimmed down version of Virtus with less boot space and removes those flaws that you have mentioned in this video. If that sort of sedans come under 10 lacs then sedans can make a comeback but it would be compact sedan. Sedans won't be able to turnaround SUV domination unless priced reasonably well and being practical in India. Long cars in city traffic are headache to even park or for reverse stuff. Also, they need to do lot of localization like Huyndai or Maruti to keep maintenence at low costs. Compact sedans under 10 Lacs can make the cut and they should be available with CNG options. People would start moving to Volkswagen more than Maruti in that case bcz build quality is amazing in them. Also, I would have loved to see a car like Nano from Volkswagen stable and doesn't matters if it didn't had bootspace bcz many people just want to commute inside car if their running is mostly in the city and don't require bootspace. Just need spare wheel at the back in standing position and toolkit. These two sort of cars I would have loved to see with all practical safety features. Cheap cars we don't need anymore which can't ensure our safety but top variants of them reaching 7-8 lacs. There should be a basic minimum criteria for base models now imposed by govt on manufacturers like 6 airbags, ABS with EBD, Traction Control, ESP, Type Pressure Monitoring System etc. Driver seat should be height adjustable even in base variant and tilt and telescopic steering wheel too should be a standard now. I don't understand one thing why most manufacturers don't want to give adequate lumbar and thigh support in their seats. Does that costs way too much that they can't give that in base models ? Cars one need for comfort and safety. If that's not there then what's the whole point in having cars and the point is that they don't do such things abroad. Only in India. Compare models of those that are selling in India with those that are getting exported abroad. There shouldn't be too much discrepancy. Our road conditions are different so need ground clearance of atleast 175 mm and rest suspension and steering tuning etc would be different but what about rest. Bro I wanted to ask one thing is Hybrid technology really relevant in cars like Maruti bcz don't witness too much fuel economy even with that installed. It might only creep up our maintenance costs later bcz it too would require battery and other stuff. Then I would like to know more about IMT, DCT, CVT etc from you and which one is really best or cost effective in India.
Still unbeaten Honda City. I bought City 5th gen automatic top model in last month. I checked out Virtus GT yesterday. Now I am loving my Honda City more than before.
Honda is just a piece of thin sheet metal. Totally unsafe. Poor ground clearance. Poor mileage. Old school engine. Same ivtec, same tech for the past 10 years and Honda will use the same for next 10 years.
Hey ICNStudio Team, congratulations and thank you for the great job you are doing. I need an advice. I am an existing Honda City user, a sedate light foot driver who enjoys driving but mostly at 80-100 range when engine is not feeling strained. I am at a point where I have an chance to upgrade and I am confused between Virtus 1.5 DSG, City Hybrid and Normal Petrol ZX CVT City. 1.5 DSG with all its goodness still has this reliability question mark for Indian conditions that is very relevant. Most of my driving will be in City traffic and I am used to Honda’s reliability and smoothness. Hybrid City is great but 306 boot is massive degrade fro me and ADAS features are not must for me. What would you suggest? And btw I hate the red lines on dashboard and blacked out wheels in Virtus. I would love to have silver/body coloured elements there.
It's most unfortunate that the 1.5 l turbo petrol does not come with manual transmission. I would rather opt for a CVT rather than a DCT which does have proven reliability in India.
Cost cutting कहां कहां है ,अगर टिपिकल VW के तौर पर देखे तो। VW Taigun में यह नजर में आता है कि कंपनी ने प्राइस कंट्रोल के चक्कर में आसानी से नजर आनी वाली कॉस्ट कटिंग की है। स्टेयरिंग के हल्केपन से VW के फैन थोड़े निराश जरूर होंगे कि VW को लोग हैंडलिंग के लिए ज्यादा पसंद करते है और लाइट स्टेयरिंग इसको सूट नही करती है।
Type C is the future, even apple supports type C on the non connector end, with type A in car before, many people had tried charging many other devices like battery bank, torch light and what not, these will drain car battery. Hard plastic is provided due hot weather conditons in most parts of country those soft plastic tend to burn and form hot patches on the upholstery so it's all good. Finally some things like levers are better when they are manual, too many automated things and it's feels insecure due to electronic failures and money spent by makers on non safety features. I'm even okay to give up sunroof for bigger and wider tyres.
sir ji tell me one thing i m planning to buy virtus but confused between 1.0 and 1.5 automatic my driving is 60% in higway and not so much into driving in so much speed maximum i drive upto 140km but need milage as well
Can I replace Taigun/ Virtus digital cluster with Virtual Cockpit of VW T-ROC LCD Instrument Cluster? Virtual cockpits r available in aliexpress like websites
Major disappointment is that there are no steps in armrest, scratchy plastics in interior, no all auto up down which means holding lock and unlock on key won't open/close windows. They removed their main feature.
Great review but I felt one incorrect information shared by you. The spare wheel size is not a small size but the same size as the rest except for the fact that they are steel rims instead of alloy.
How come , none of these car-experts ever (like ever mentioned ) the weird sound that all of the 1L tsi manual transmission models make , when shifting gears and accelerating (especially noticeable in the second gear) , btw car gurus if you want to hear that sound, drive with the window rolled down(the sound comes from the front left side) By the way it does not make any sound in any of the automatic transmission models

Nice review, have you tried putting it in sports profile which give more precise steering feedback … can tell you from experience owning Tiguan allspace.
Allspace is a cbu and this is a shitty cheap quality Indian car, so there's no comparison..
I would have loved to see a compact sedan which means bit less boot space and under 4 m with 4 cylinder engine and 1.3 or 1.5 ltr engine with good AC( as I am used to temp around 26 or 27°C ) and good steering control. That would make more sense for most as not everyone needs too much bootspace. Those who need more bootspace can fold their rear seats to accommodate more stuff.

Hopefully Volkswagen can make a trimmed down version of Virtus with less boot space and removes those flaws that you have mentioned in this video. If that sort of sedans come under 10 lacs then sedans can make a comeback but it would be compact sedan. Sedans won't be able to turnaround SUV domination unless priced reasonably well and being practical in India. Long cars in city traffic are headache to even park or for reverse stuff. Also, they need to do lot of localization like Huyndai or Maruti to keep maintenence at low costs. Compact sedans under 10 Lacs can make the cut and they should be available with CNG options. People would start moving to Volkswagen more than Maruti in that case bcz build quality is amazing in them.
Also, I would have loved to see a car like Nano from Volkswagen stable and doesn't matters if it didn't had bootspace bcz many people just want to commute inside car if their running is mostly in the city and don't require bootspace. Just need spare wheel at the back in standing position and toolkit. These two sort of cars I would have loved to see with all practical safety features. Cheap cars we don't need anymore which can't ensure our safety but top variants of them reaching 7-8 lacs.

Honda is just a piece of thin sheet metal. Totally unsafe. Poor ground clearance. Poor mileage. Old school engine. Same ivtec, same tech for the past 10 years and Honda will use the same for next 10 years.
Hey ICNStudio Team, congratulations and thank you for the great job you are doing. I need an advice. I am an existing Honda City user, a sedate light foot driver who enjoys driving but mostly at 80-100 range when engine is not feeling strained.
I am at a point where I have an chance to upgrade and I am confused between Virtus 1.5 DSG, City Hybrid and Normal Petrol ZX CVT City. 1.5 DSG with all its goodness still has this reliability question mark for Indian conditions that is very relevant. Most of my driving will be in City traffic and I am used to Honda’s reliability and smoothness. Hybrid City is great but 306 boot is massive degrade fro me and ADAS features are not must for me. What would you suggest?
And btw I hate the red lines on dashboard and blacked out wheels in Virtus. I would love to have silver/body coloured elements there.
I was in the same boat and I ended up buying Slavia 1.5 TSI DSG. City just didn’t cut it for the driving feel.
2024-2025 में क्या कोई update आने वाली है vw virtus dsg 1.5 litre top end model में?
Mera sawal hai k vw ne engine me zyada options kyun nahi diya. 😐 I he 1 litre ko redesign krna chahiye tha ya 1.2 ka option dete.
It's most unfortunate that the 1.5 l turbo petrol does not come with manual transmission. I would rather opt for a CVT rather than a DCT which does have proven reliability in India.
Well... now it does
Khammaghani bro.. keep it up .. great work. As i always say, this is a real review.
Sir which is safer? Slavia or this? Ncap ratings?
One of the great review of this car
Cost cutting कहां कहां है ,अगर टिपिकल VW के तौर पर देखे तो। VW Taigun में यह नजर में आता है कि कंपनी ने प्राइस कंट्रोल के चक्कर में आसानी से नजर आनी वाली कॉस्ट कटिंग की है। स्टेयरिंग के हल्केपन से VW के फैन थोड़े निराश जरूर होंगे कि VW को लोग हैंडलिंग के लिए ज्यादा पसंद करते है और लाइट स्टेयरिंग इसको सूट नही करती है।
Vw virtus 1.5 manual aayegi?
Which should i buy virtus or slavia?
Type C is the future, even apple supports type C on the non connector end, with type A in car before, many people had tried charging many other devices like battery bank, torch light and what not, these will drain car battery. Hard plastic is provided due hot weather conditons in most parts of country those soft plastic tend to burn and form hot patches on the upholstery so it's all good. Finally some things like levers are better when they are manual, too many automated things and it's feels insecure due to electronic failures and money spent by makers on non safety features. I'm even okay to give up sunroof for bigger and wider tyres.
Sir what a mechanical eng. Students should do to get into companies like tata , honda etc?
I have booked one 1.5 ltr car volksvagen would it be yes or no for buying . Reply me instantly .
Im fan of german technology sooo always appreciated with VW keep it up and nice details video vikas bhai 👍🏻👍🏻👌👌good bye legend VW Polo
Slavia is far far fresh in the platform❤️
Vento 1.5 build quality and cabin silent was much good then virtus do you agree
What are the color choices of gt variant? Whether all other gt cars also have red interior?!,
sir ji tell me one thing i m planning to buy virtus but confused between 1.0 and 1.5 automatic my driving is 60% in higway and not so much into driving in so much speed maximum i drive upto 140km but need milage as well
I like this car ... ❤
Can I replace Taigun/ Virtus digital cluster with Virtual Cockpit of VW T-ROC LCD Instrument Cluster?
Virtual cockpits r available in aliexpress like websites
Hi Yogi Ji, manual or dsg in GT. Which one you would recommend condiments that’s dsg is not reliable. Please suggest
No manual version for 1.5
Honest review.....Really good explanation 🙏
Great review, is this dsg wet clutch? Pls confirm
Yup, it is.
@@ICN are you sure? I thought it had a DQ200 which is dry clutch?
@@ICN sorry, what’s your source again? It’s supposed to have a DQ200 7 speed dry clutch DSG
@Arjun Ahuja even I think its dry clutch
Its a dry clutch, DQ200
Major disappointment is that there are no steps in armrest, scratchy plastics in interior, no all auto up down which means holding lock and unlock on key won't open/close windows. They removed their main feature.
I don't understand how you complain of scratchy plastics when polo/vento itself came with such plastics from beginning
Great review but I felt one incorrect information shared by you. The spare wheel size is not a small size but the same size as the rest except for the fact that they are steel rims instead of alloy.
The ones we drove had 15 inch wheels.
Topline has one size lower.. GT has full size.. they showed the 1l model for interiors and boot and hence the apparent inaccuracy
Very nice review
Wow
How come , none of these car-experts ever (like ever mentioned ) the weird sound that all of the 1L tsi manual transmission models make , when shifting gears and accelerating (especially noticeable in the second gear) , btw car gurus if you want to hear that sound, drive with the window rolled down(the sound comes from the front left side)
By the way it does not make any sound in any of the automatic transmission models
