- A VW will surely win this race but which one will it be? The Virtus GT with its traditional sedan body style or the Taigun GT with its SUV styling? Both get the same 1.5 TSI engine with 150hp mated to a DSG transmission. Seems like this one will go down to the wire.

We must acknowledge and appreciate the exceptional talent possessed by the drone operator.
Mind blowing
Not denying that.. but drones are very smart by themselves and can do a lot of pro.level shots all by themselves.. even the entry level DJI Mini 4 Pro has these features
Both r technically the same cars, just one is a crossover and one is a sedan.
The Aerodynamics of the Virtus helped it win the race
In rolling race the difference would be more at higher speeds.
People calling suvs are bigger car just to tell you that virtus has same cabin space with bigger boot 😂😂
Both r made on the same platform only which means both will have same wheelbase and overall same space in the back rows and as Virtus is a sedan it'll possibly have a bigger boot
@@prayasdash so it means virtus gt is bigger car than tiagun as the narrative that suvs are bigger than sedan and it has more performance too with its bigger size.
First of all, Taigun is not a SUV, it's a compact crossover, the definition of an SUV means a car having 4X4/ having good ground clearance/big size. Taigun is a FWD car which is based on the Virtus, no doubt why they weigh almost the same. And Virtus I didn't say is bigger, it's rather longer and both will have same leg room as both got same wheelbase as Virtus is longer it'll have a better boot and the Taigun is a crossover so it will have a slight better head room. That's it.
Sedans rule the highways.
Virtus looks beautiful in ♥️
In?

So you just can't beat physics after all.
Exciting drag race indeed, looking forward to the manuals in the drag strip!
Try with manual gearbox too , either kushaq 1.5 manual or slavia manual , that would be much more interesting than this race
Slavia wil win and unrolling race the difference would be more
Well aerodynamics... Simple physics. ..
Nice Drag
The wind resistance played it part 😁
We would love to see a Drag between Verna Turbo 1.5L vs Virtus 1.5 GT 👍
AERODYNAMICS for the win 🏆
This content is giving all other auto content creators and publications in India a big big run for their money! Soooperb stuff Autocar!
I luv virtus gt but i buy Taigun gt bcoz for indian roads and for travel ,small offroads ,hills turning Taigun is beast ❤️🔥..
And taigun pickup is better than virtus
The tyre spec and wheel size will also contribute to the difference.
You should’ve interchanged the drivers!
Don't call them SUV's
Verna vs slavia
Please switch the driver between races, especially for cars which are the same underneath - this'll take the driver's reflexes out of the equation.
Do more drag races and add Rolling race and Brake test..this will make Autocar drag races perfect.
Because we don't have 1% trust on kids,toxic fanbois who are doing drag races nowadays and defending their favourite brands
Pickup taigun gt ❤
Just what i need 😅in traffic and up hill
Wow! I was expecting a complete virtus washout but the taigun was scarrily close! Super stuff! How do you guys account for rider talent? As in if one rider is better than the other . Do they swap cars?
Driver talent's impact is almost negligible, since they are both automatics and all the driver does is apply full throttle.
If it was a manual, then it would have played a significant part.
Virtus GT DSG vs Verna 1.5 turbo DCT please. Also Virtus 1.5 manual vs Verna 1.5 turbo manual
thanks would take the higer seeting, better veiw , lesser bent knees and less cramped interriors and ability to tackle most of Indian roads better over 0.1s time
Show the stats side by side at the same time not one after the other.
Don't know what the makers were expecting. The comparison ended at specs, and I can understand it's just milking the time of viewers for nothing. Try to do something worthwhile for the viewers.
Concludes that a XUV 7OO Petrol Automatic is quicker than a Virtus GT for a quarter mile. Damn.
Even polo also 😂
Probably not.. XUV 700 is not a rear wheel drive. So probably Virtus GT will win. XUV petrol stands no chance against Sedans with 4 cylinders.
Cruze , Older Verna 1.6, Jetta diesels will smoke most of the SUVs including fortuner. X3, Q4 might win against them.
@@593Vivek Ford aspire win against Verna 1.6 😂😂. I think in diesel no one can beat curze. Verna is kid infront of Cruze and Jetta.
Slavia 1.5 manual vs VW Virtus GT, we want❤
Virtus vs verna plz
fking Sedan for the win bro . Thats y i love sedans ❤❤. Booked the virtus manual 1.5 🔥🔥
Best choice 💪
Verna vs virtus plzz
Paisa hi nahi hai 😂😂 phir bhi dekh raha hu
next video on :
verna 1.5 turbo mt vs virtus 1.5 gt mt
No ugly suv's can match the performance and dynamics of beautiful sedan's......
Waiting for Virtus GT vs Verna Turbo 🔥
I would say VW taigun is the winner coz in earlier race vs seltos it had clocked 16.993 which virtus here clearly did not reach in any of 3 races
Next between the jeep meridian and Toyota fortuner
Always wanted to find out the difference that makes sedan more aerodynamic. But this race proves that it is only just that much advantage. Any one who prefers a smaller dimension coupled with many other advantages of a CSUV should pick the Taigun.
Thank you Autocar for this wonderful drag.
Ahh.. you got it wrong my friend..
More drag means more resistance.. which translates to more fuel consumed...
And no SUV can match high speed stability of a sedan in same class..
Sedan are great at cornering and SUVs will have more body role compared to sedan in high speeds..
So conclusion is..
If you drive mostly on highways and good city roads you should close your eyes and buy a sedan..
If you are driving on bad roads and hills most of the time or of you have senior citizens who commute regularly in car then buy a SUV..
If you buy a Fortuner and drive in highways all the time it's like feeding a Tiger with curd rice daily..
Your point is valid in respect of say a Creta and Verna but with respect to the Taigun, which has proved to be dynamically well sorted otherwise that has exhibited surprisingly better handling characteristics than the Virtus (you may refer to the lap time of Virtus and Taigun by autox) a small drag disadvantage may not prove to be deal breaker in highways. The Virtus again is also a compromised sedan as it still is well raised and not a low slung sedan. I am not saying that Virtus is bad but my conclusion is that with specific comparison between Virtus and Taigun, both are dynamically well sorted and eventually the choice will depend upon the dimension and looks rather than ride and handling.
In rolling race the difference would be much more don't forget that virtus has bigger boot too that adds to its practicality.
Virtus is bigger car with less weight here and more performance.
@@593Vivekbut but low seating bent knees cramped spaces back pain
Bro next time drag race with tiago and celerio
Virtus and hyundai verna manual...
We need Verna Turbo vs Virtus GT
And both in their manual guise
@@idrisahmed2659 yes!! But the Virtus GT might be difficult to get in Manual as its been recently launched…
summary: virtus ins, as it jhas advantage of lesser wind resistance
Manual vs dsg what do you guys think. This will exciting drag.
Anybody noticed the most hated car following them?
Please also do the rolling drag race we would love to watch more like this🔥🙏
virtus just has just more aerodynamics or else taigun would of course win
Don't forget that fucking dron is also in the race and damn it manages to keep up
Very good cars to test 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
With aerodynamic advantage Virtus wins which means we can assume that Slavia will beat Kushaq..
What about Virtus vs Slavia then???
Would be very interesting
Automatic gearbox remains a liability in Indian driving condition ! 👎
Innova Crysta 2.8 vs Hycross Hybrid please!!
Effect of aero will be more pronounced in corners so rather than comparing on straight line, it should be compared based on circuit lap times for proper assessment.
Copying Mat Watson with budget restrictions💀😂
sedan's aerodymics has the advantage...than SUV's
Air drag became the villain for Taigun because of its shape.
Manual versions would have been interesting!
Both are DSG. Which means both are horrible off the line.
Aray yaar Suv vs sedan doesn't make a great comparison
Aerodynamic virtus to win the race
We want Soumil to take revenge by being on a Taigun GT Manual.
Just one more reason why sedans >> crossovers any day.
Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to the physics.
You should change the driver at least once.
Virtus gt vs verna turbo please
Make a race with Hyundai Tucson
That drone would beat most cars in a drag race!
The launch doesn't suit these VW cars
Could have used creta turbo with Honda city.....Turbo Would have won easily
virtus vs Verna drag race brother
Sir Dzire Vs Baleno
Virtus, Taigun, Slavia & Kushaq, all these ain't getting rear disc brakes.
Is that something that should be there in such powerful cars ?
Virtus ❤
Aerodynamics ....baby..
Next drag between VW VIRTUS V/S Hyundai Verna
Did Autocar just use a Benz EQS as a camera vehicle!!!!!!!!!?
Is there plan to do Verna 1.5 turbo vs Virtus GT & Alcazar 2.0 vs Alcazar 1.5 Turbo vs Kia Carens 1.4 Turbo ?
Sedans for life🤙🤙
Virtus as a sedan, sleek front design leads to allow the air to pass sideways. Taigun as an suv , is restricted by the Air block. Aerodynamic of sedan wins the race
That drone is GT fast
Sedans Always have aerodynamic advantage over crossover/SUV. City, Virtus, Salvia are the ones making Sedans still alive.
xuv700 petrol would have them both for breakfast. mStallion Rocks!
Probably not.. XUV 700 is not a rear wheel drive. So probably Virtus GT will win. XUV petrol stands no chance against Sedans with 4 cylinders.
Cruze , Older Verna 1.6, Jetta diesels will smoke most of the SUVs including fortuner. X3, Q4 might win against them.
@@593Vivek 700 completed the drag in 16.6 sec as compared to 17.3 sec of Virtus GT. even in a rolling race XUV700 will either inch ahead or tie the Virtus. you dont need RWD or a sedan when you have 200 horses under the hood.
Both are slower than XUV700, be it diesel or petrol😂
R U sure?
If that’s the fact then Autocar should do a drag between Taigun & XUV 700
It will be interesting 👍
Yes, XUV700 diesel has timing of 16.85 for a quarter mile. The petrol version has done it in 16.5! These are autocar drag race timings! Search 700 Vs Polo for diesel and 700 Vs Legender for petrol😅
@@nimishwaikar legender bhi 17 sec meh kar liya tha isska matlab yeh thodi Naa hua kii virtus or taigun legender seh haar jaayega. 😂😂
And virtus 0-100 xuv700 petrol automatic seh pehle karte hai
@@rishavsharma6875 Get your facts straight dude! In drag races, it's the milliseconds that matter! Also, I've never seen a faster to 100 drag race, it's always the quarter mile!
@@nimishwaikar even in autocar drag race thar achieve quarter mile in 17.03 sec it means that thar will win against virtus and taigun 🤣🤣🤣.
They badly launch virtus and taigun. It is impossible that virtus and taigun will achieve in 17 sec.
Wow what a 0.08 second difference
It's really a huge difference
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Aerodynamics bhi kuch hota hai yaar, kuch bhi video bana dete ho
Logon ki demand thi virtus 1.5 vs Taigun 1.5 they were cheering for Taigun. They forgot the physics or never read one.
Next :- Nexon petrol vs brezza Or any other petrol machine
You just need to have better driver for drag races.
They struggle to pull of the line on every single drag races of yours.
🚮
Brezza 1.5 NA vs Nexon Petrol 1.2 Turbo
Only thing played the most role is "Aerodynamics"
You can't beat sedan due to less aerodynamic friction.
M 340i v/s EV 6 GT
One more comparison with salvia n kushaq
Imagine being rich enough to use an EQS as your camera vehicle.
Make same type of video on Skoda Kushaq v Skoda Slavia
Verna vs virtus
Please bikes vs car and a special r15 vs alto but do it with v3
Please do Honda city vs virtus 1.0
They don’t know how to launch an automatic 😂😂😂
When aerodynamic kicks in vitrus goes like rocket 😊.
liked this video even before watching it !!
u guys should do rolling race and breaking test too
Thar 4x2 vs 4x4 manual plz diesel
