Is ter ac cooling issues?
I do not think this is a honest review, this is the worst car to drive in bumper to bumper traffic, very disappointed with the review.
I also own Virtus Topline automatic and recently completed 10000 KM myself. I have travelled through various terrains..Cities, Expressways, Highways, hilly areas, extremely bad roads etc and the experience has been simply superb. I have been travelling with my wife and 6 month old baby, and the comfort has been amazing.
Bro, kitne monthly income honi chahiye family ki (me and my wife) tab aisi cars kharidni chahiye? Right now , we earn around 15lakh combined annual and thinking of buying this car but not sure. Can you tell more? Ehats the mileage?
@@rameshshinde1193 - shouldn’t spend more than 50% of your annual income on a car.
@@shantanukumar3291 Thanks bro. Seems a good advice.
Honda city or virtus?
@@rameshshinde1193depends on what r u r priorities. Pahale Ghar kharidna hai ya car etc. Baki koi loan nahi hoga to kharid sakte ho
This car is amazing. I am driving Virtus 1.0 AT, 5000 km completed. We just look for excuse to take it for a drive. Driving this is pure joy. Covered many winding roads in ghat sections in south India. It goes effortlessly in steep hairpin bends. In usual highway, it’s mini rocket. Very few cars can keep up with this one. Drivability is superb.
Ever felt underpowered on highways.. i am seeing many comments that 1.0 feels underpowered on highways?
@@dhirendersingh539 No. Never felt underpowered. I always use IOC XP95 or Shell VPower. About feeling underpowered, if you’re trying compete with BMW X6, you’ll definitely feel underpowered. Enough power for fast overtaking. Manual mode, paddle shifters, sport mode all helps to deliver right performance. Take a test drive to decide.
Hmm.. confused between verna, city, slavia, virtus for sedans
You're so lucky man @shubhajitdutta6802
It's my dream to own virtus☺️
@@dhirendersingh539bro just blindly go for slavia/virtus
Looks can only differentiate them else both are perfect.
VIRTUS revived the sedan market❤
Finally after watching your reviews i bought Virtus. Let me express how your videos helped me shortlist my VW virtus Topline MT over Nexon, XUV 300, Creta, Harrier, Honda City and MG Astor
1. Build - 5/5
2. Safety- 5/5
3. Mileage- 5/5
4. Driving pleasure and stability- 5/5
5. Features, comfort and luxury compared to other soft suspension and high stance cars- 4/5
6. Service and maintenance cost- 5/5
Trust me it's affordable and parts cost is less and service is way better than other cars in this price range.
Points to consider.
1. Virtus is having 180mm ground clearance which is equivalent to XUV 300 and also it gives good visibility, good seating position and steering feedback is sharp and precise. So you will never feel like driving a big car and power is available at just pressing the pedal and it overtakes with rocket speed
2. EDL- Electronic differential locking is available on both Taigun and Virtus, which works as a partial 4X4 great boon in slippery roads, if wheel gets stuck and need power to over come such situations which no other FWD car offers in this segment
3. Comfort of seating posture, leg room, knee room, 3 people can comfortably sit on a long drive with loads of boot space, which is only available on cars like Hector and Harrier, but it's expensive.
4. My highway driving is 60% and city is 40% so opted for 1.0 MT topline which was worth every penny at that price, it was powerful enough with mileage and drivable in city. As per my requirement I didn't feel the need of Automatic or 1.5L GT version which is above my necessity as I would have to spend 2L-4L for those variants. Now i can spend the same 2L-4L amount on fuel and maintenance and enjoy long trips for 5yrs easily.
What milage you are getting? Combined city & highway
@@krprealtors2633 I completed 1200kms. I am getting 9-13 in city and 18-22 on highway and first service is not done yet as it's only 600kms driven.
@@krprealtors2633 city 8-14 and highways 18-22. Overall 18.6 got city and Highway combined where 25kms in city and 60kms on highway.
What do you think? Is rear seat good enough for 3 adults to sit for 300 kms?
@@vaibhavrandive9089depends on the size of the adults
Well said, "Safety pe aap kuch nhi badal sakte."!!!🙌🙌
Bullet proof glasses 💀
Excellent video ! Please do a long term review of Slavia 1.0 as well 🙏🙏🙏
Love you, man, for emphasizing the significance of safety in our lives. It's crucial to recognize that once you've purchased a car, you can't add safety features after the fact. Therefore, it's essential to think twice before buying a car, considering that it directly impacts your valuable life. Don't simply prioritize resale value and cheap features like a panoramic sunroof.
Great review & presentation. This is what sets MotorOctane apart from other auto review channels. And you point about safety - bang on. I was so tempted to buy Kia Seltos but the 3-star rating was a bummer. So narrowed down to Tata / German cars. Thanks for this review
Skoda/VW Basically known as his Style, safety , Comfort and his milleage. So i mostly loved German Brands cars/SUVs ❤❤.
What is the fuel average for city use ? Any Hybrid engine expected?
One day I'll surely gona buy this one
My favourite car❤️
Not good car. It id very congusted for 3 in raar. Not rromy
@@jt-sd2hcdriving experience matters the most for VW buyers
@@adarshbhavsar122 yeah but practicality matters, honda elevate isbest
@@jt-sd2hc No. The elevate feels outdated. Honda is still sticking with 2015 interiors. For a family, yes that would be better, but to seat 4 with a good driving experience, Virtus anyday. Honda only has a reliable engine. For that price, it needs much more.
@@jt-sd2hc bro i booked elevate 1 month ago.. after watching it.. i cancelled and booked taigun gt plus in lava blue💙..
Pre booked Virtus GT 1.5 TSI Manual (Deep black pearl).. can't wait, It's gonna come in the end of July
Wow😍
Hi Rachit and Motoroctane team
I am a proud owner of VW Virtus 1.0L Topline
And i can vouch for this car, i have Creta and this car. But since I have purchased this car, whenever I sit in it, it gives the sense of upmarket quality and impeccable performance.
The 1.0L can reach 170-180 without any issue and Overtaking is a pleasure.
I got a discount of 80K at year end and the top model manual costed me 14.70L without RTO.
Nothing comes near and I have 4 year Service package, which means no maintenance cost.
If you want to do owner review, We can do it.
Same case with me, have creta and slavia, but after buying slavia, Creta has almost not gone for a long drive since many months
@@namanbansal9945 I took my Slavia 1.0 Ltr TSI Manual to a Jalandhar Shimla trip and I can say that the car performed my expectation and now I am planning for an even longer trip. In the end I would say that for the entire trip while coming back from Shimla to Jalandhar I got a superb average of 26.7 kmpl
@@namanbansal9945u r so rich 3 cars😢
What's the actual mileage....??
I also own topline of Virtus. Power accelerations are smooth. Best is its handling, world class.
What about AC cooling issue ? Is it resolved?
You should make videos on topics like charging infrastructure for EVs, Services by EV manufacturers, how to look for charging stations effectively and most importantly as a prominent moto YT channel you should question companies regarding these problems as well.
what is the latest news about diesel engine, it is really banne in further or not? and it is worth if we purchase any Diesel car as on now?
Looks Good And Also Comfortable Driving 👌
Which model of Virtus should I buy if I am planning to spend not more than 15 lakhs?
Please make a video about after market coding modifications and their impact on warranty of VW /Skoda.
These codings are mostly done for VW/Skoda only any reason behind it?
Confused between Virtus and slavia which one has best after sale service in Delhi ncr and less maintenance cost and which has best 1.5 dsg reliable engine. Kindly suggest
Does Dashcam voids warranty?
12v charged or hardwired
Thank you sir for such informative videos big 👍
Can I also take a moment to ask about after sales because at the end of the day, it’s a mechanical thing and will need service and spares. How about on ground customer reviews for service and spares
Cannot charge wireless to my iPhone 13 is that same problems what am facing
Howz the suspension performance in some off roads
Rachit, thanks for the review. Can you please bring such long term ownership review for Virtus n Slavia Automatics please.
Topline and highline model provides torque converter, its battle tested transmission
Hi @motoroctane
After seeing this video, i just have 1 one question i.e. All the things you explained in this video, does that hold true for slavia 1.0 also?
Yes
Very excellent informative video.
Should I buy a virtus or a slavia, my budget is around 22 lacs
Which one do you suggest between Slavia and Virtus
Hope you also do a Review for 1.5 tsi manual 🎉❤
I own Virtus base variant, it has been so good driving this from last 45 days and base model is equipped all essential features except rear camera but i am used to it and able to manage with sensors.
for those who think it is underpowered , it is better than City and Verna 1.5 NA engines. but yes, FE very sensitive to driving style
It's not better than city
Price kya h base model kaa
Hi are you driving the 1.0L or 1.5L?
mine is 1.0. completed 5k. its a pure joy to drive this hoghway

Just booked virtus gt plus manual in lava blue with 5 year extended service pack @34999 only in delhi ncr totally worth it
Don't buy any VW car, their service has become really bad and it is shameful for such a big company, buy it at your own risk don't get tempted by the product.
Service is very good don't fall under haters propaganda. VW technology is far higher than anyone else and other companies can't compete with there handling safety and performance.
@@ashyouknow7420 tumhare pass toh VW kii cars toh hai nahi kahi pe suna hoga tumne or comment meh aake bata diya 😂😂
@@overpowered6620 Hyundai ke haters bolega service atccha nahi hai. But now VW service is very good and also very cheap with service package.
Motoroctane Rachit Hirani sir please make same video with skoda slavia 1.0 litre manual. As we have also just took Skoda slavia 1.0 manual on 1st Jun 2023❤❤❤ Please
What about Engine, Maintenance costs, and Spare parts availability, the most important can local mechanic able to understand the circuit
How is the air conditioner ??
Sir I live in a small city there is no showroom of vw.......should I go for it? Will it be problematic in case of service? Is the car going to be discontinued? Please reply🙏🏻🙏🏻
What is difference between salvia & virtus
I drive a Skoda rapid and fuel economy in Bangalore traffic is easily 11-13 and on highways we get 15-19 On a full tank on a trip to Goa we did over 850 km and this included very bad highway patches and the entire time we were basting the AC on high. And frankly I am fine with this .. am sure virtus will be same if not better.
VW 💚 vartus 23 kmlp NH in automatic 💚
City drive 14/15 kmpl
*VW/SKODA* ALWAYS AMAZING 🔥🔥💯💯
Germans always on fire
Do they have an automatic variant. What is the price
In this 10K km was there any need to top up engine oil ?
Please review the 1.5 manual as well.
Facing fuel pump issues in GT and part is not available with VW.
please do one for honda city as well
WHAT a great Review of a VIRTUS . i Usually don't watch your Channel Regular ly but this video was recomded by a known trust worty Person.
I have driven VW 1L Virtus around 8500 kms in one year. Absolutely no issues, except that the AC is average. City mileage 12KMs, highway it is always above 16. I give 9 out of 10. DSG (1.5L GT) is a gem. But its reliability is still in question.
Which car do you have 1.0 or the gt and 1.0 manual or the automatic
Please make a video of new updated alcazar 1.5 L turbo petrol DCT with a drive review......bahut time se wait kar rahe hai
Do VW and salavi is getting facelift in upcoming year please let me know rachit sir
Sir Skoda salvia BS 6 phase 2
1 litre manual 20 mileage deti hai
Mileage increase ho gai
I want guidence for which variant should i buy, 1.0 AT or MT
Or 1.5
If no budget problem then go for 1.5 manual
2.9 kmpl mileage on MID?
My Virtus high line is just getting ready for me to pick up on this Sunday! It’s Friday night and I’m damn excited! The test drive simply got me there. I was looking for Hyundai venue, Tata nexon, Mahindra 3xo and then I just thought let me try this one sedan when I went to test drive taigun
But VIRTUS got me! It’s something I’ve never driven before! Such amazing feeling
Full 100 points for this kind of salesman😂... carry on
I think, the 1.0 Litre engine option is provided in this car to let the middle class people feel affordable and mileage friendly vehicle. The higher the engine capacity, the more the price consumer has to pay, simple science. The sedans have an edge over SUVs in terms of boot space, comfort and feel. VW is leader in Europe, every 3rd/4th car is a VW there. If someone wants to take a feel of a bit cheaper AUDI A3, go for VW Virtus.
Hi Rachit
Is it okay for 1.0 litre 800 km drive
Do I need to worry on 1.0 litre 3 cyclinder engine for 800 km drive ?
Not at all
Downside According to me is only things, which is if you look at the back profile, the underbody parts are so much visible which doesn't looks good, the rear of the car is too much lifted.
How 1.0 L Automatic drives in bumper to bumper traffic, compared with Honda City?
Rachit sir please do a review on VW Taigun.Please sir 🙏🙏🙏
One Day I will buy this Beautiful Car❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Please do long term review on Skoda Slavia

Hey,ac is not working properly in my car ,and there some rattling in dashboard,is this happening to you too ⁉️⁉️
Sir many of us are not sure about ground clearance

Understood the features, glad u guys like it what about MAINTENANCE charges and MILAGE figures, kindly specify
They said about mileage already. Check again
Mileage is okay ... but Virtus is highly unreliable car... multiple break down issues

Man it's real time to bring in Maruti 800 and MG Black storm Gloster Review 😊.
Can u do a similar video for taigun
We want a road trip video on a luxury car (MARC, RR, BWM)
Did no one notice the 3kmpl average?😅
Its from the trip start. Every time you set it to calculate the mileage from the start of the trip, it starts from 0 and slowly makes its way up to a settled average.
My average city mileage is 8kmpl. But the comfort and reliability this car provides, I have no problem with that mileage. If anyone can’t survive with 8 kmpl mileage, definitely go for other brands car which provides average driving experience.
@@barunhalder1231 Is yours the GT or the normal virtus? And did you use the tank-to-tank method or the figures from MID?
@@adityasundar324 I have Topline not GT, mileage measurement is tank to tank. My 90-95% drive is in Bengaluru city drive. One of the worst traffic.
@@adityasundar324 when I drove to Airport, to n fro at early morning, mileage was 17+ for that 80+ km trip.
Please make a review video on 1.5 Turbo Alcazar
Is it really that good or paid promotion biased? I felt turbo lag and little vibration at idle. 1.5 is undoubtedly a gem but cant say the same for 1l.
Bro, you shift a gear down, eliminate the turbo lag if you really want dive in, the thing is that you really need to understand the in terms of gears and their ratios and it really depends on how you shift the gears and you put the car in cruise under 1800 rpm you get good mileage age too, you have to think of the maintenance before buying the car,for me it's okay for the maintenance, you be good if you don't damage any parts and that too depends on how you take care of the car
This is a paid review, bud the lag is absolutely enormous. You don't floor the accelator to full in order to get moving
Must appreciate the localisation that VW/SKODA has made for India. First time, we are witnessing feature rich car, more leg room and decent work on interiors from VW/SKODA. I have test drove the car and it's superb. However, to match the long term reliability of Honda, VW need to prove itself for quite long time particularly on the front of maintenance costs, mileage and service experience. City has set unmatchable precedence for this segment.
@Motoractane if the safety is so important to these people, why do they give indicator lever on left hand side of the steering?? You know how dangerous it is when driving in the city with changing gears?
Dude, that’s a very valid point. I have a Polo TSI which is an automatic, never really struck me that indicator lever on left would be a pain had the car been manual! Was contemplating Virtus manual but will have to rethink now coz I sure have been in situations in a manual when I’m on the highway - one hand downshifting gears and the other hand using the indicator.
They should offer Electronic parking brake in Virtus, Slavia, Taigun & Kushaq top models
please do taigun 10000km review!!!
Make a comparison on the new bmw x1 vs audi Q3 in 2023
Also get a review about taigun 1.5
Is it better than slavia?
Love you motoroctane
Car buys should only consider two things at the time of buying, Engine Reliability & Safety....
Hello sir please apna car collection dikhao
thanks for adding pricing.
I have a topline version 1l , milage in cities like Delhi Ggn is 7 -8. Highways you get much higher but I seriously doubt the milage shown in their meter as i beleive they are tweaking it
Even I have the topline 1L automatic variant and in Blore getting around 9-11 in the city

Instead of blabbering anything that you want always put the things you wanna say in points.
Every purchase has positives and negatives so does this vehicle. State them honestly and let your viewers and buyers make their choice by weighing down everything.
Paid content doesnt mean you cant say anything bad about the product. These kind of videos actually undermines your credibility as a reviewing channel.
Learn from people like matt watson,etc who are known in the industry for remaining true to what they do inspite of collaborations and advertisement.
The Virtus is an extremely good car, other than the quality of the plastics on the interiors. While not as reliable as Hyundai in terms of things that can go wrong, the service has improved by leaps and bounds from VW, considering the car is 90% manufactured in India. Spares are cheaper, service is also cheaper, especially with the service package. It is a much more fun car to drive, more stable on the road, while also giving some crazy mileage figures that no one expected from a VW. It is a good car and hence deserves the good reviews.
Besides that, people can post whatever content they want. You are no one to compare. If you like Matt watson, then go and watch him. No two people can be alike.
@@ShobhitTechVideo can you read? Where did I say anything about virtus being bad or me wanting features above safety? I have a Nexon and virtus(1.0 AT Topline) at home.
My whole point was about how viewers would like a car review to be done for further clarity and transparency.
@@Eltonoconnor Believe me I know what kind of vehicle virtus is better than you buddy. It's the best sedan in its class hands down right now considering all the parameters. The way it drives and the confidence it exudes definitely makes it worth its price tag and then some.
Learn to comprehend what I wrote. It was never about the car but the content in general.
And ofcourse people can post whatever they want and it's their right for sure, but have you heard of the term constructive criticism? Ever thought why this comment section is available in the first place? Just to say 'nice' , 'vow' and 'amazing'. If we can't make each other better, then what's the point of all this. I gave Matt's example for his transparency and the concise points he puts out which makes it easier for wider audience.

Tears literally started pouring out of my eyes after completing this video.. Rachit is literally hunting down his typical VW image. Finally a video solely focussing on highlighting the strengths of a VW car. Now I see so much of a difference in your review video when Virtus was launched and 1 year post its launch. Hands down a more mature review just like the pioneers Autocar reviewers and unlike the typical Rachit who used to make videos like '5 reasons not to buy a VW polo.'

Second hand virtus needed any contacts
Did a TD of the 1 L automatic today. Engine has a bit of a growl making it feel not even as refined as my manual 2006 City non iVtec engine. But power was sufficient to do quick overtakes and gear shifts were smooth and without a lag. Leg room at the back was awesome, ventilated seats good. No 360 camera or lane shift assist cam, suspension was bouncy - you’ll feel it more when u sit on the backseat.
In short - it didn’t win my heart.
Drove the 1.5 GT DSG … WHAT A CAR !!! I Was smiling as soon as I put it in D and it moved forward. Super smooth engine and gear shifts. For some reason I found this suspension way better than the 1L and so did my folks in the back seat.
Drove the Honda City yest and despite not being wowed by it, had almost made up my mind that I’ll buy it. The VW salesman who was in touch with me since the 1L test drive insisted I drive the 1.5 before booking the Honda and I’m so thankful for that.
Will TD salvia also and choose between the 2. Looks wise I find the Slavia Lava Blue amazing, so if it performs the same I’ll go for that.
@@MrAmitKhilnanibrother do you suggest the extra 5 lakhs worth for the 1.5 gt ( we were thinking the highline) we can wait 1-2 before buying a car so is it worth the worth a d the extra bucks?
@@vivansayshi totally recommend the 1.5 dsg … I was smiling all the while when I was driving it. FYI - I finally bought the Verna turbo top model. When my dad who is 5ft 10in sat in the Vertis his head would touch the roof so that was a deal breaker. As a package the Verna scored more but the drive was more fun in the VW 1.5 dsg.
Another reason to skip the VW for me was the DSG itself … I have the VW polo and had an issue with the DSG for which I had to pay 45k repair charges. So can’t have 2 high maintenance cars in the garage.
Super happy with the Verna DCT .. it’s been a month now.
@@MrAmitKhilnani Isn't DCT just another name for DSG, and also a rip-off from the German DSG ??
