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 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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
Bro just lower the ground clearance of Virtus, Sedan is meant to be low, it looks as if a coupe is on a diet.. I'm sure it would look drop dead gorgeous for the already looking like one ❤
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.
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
Not sure what the SUV Taigun tried to acheive against a more aerodynamic Virtus Sedan. Laws of physics is bound to win on the otherwise similarly specced vehicles

@@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.
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 😂😂

Exciting drag race indeed, looking forward to the manuals in the drag strip!
Sedans rule the highways.
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
So you just can't beat physics after all.
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.
This content is giving all other auto content creators and publications in India a big big run for their money! Soooperb stuff Autocar!
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 👍

Virtus is bigger car with less weight here and more performance.
@@593Vivekbut but low seating bent knees cramped spaces back pain
Sedans Always have aerodynamic advantage over crossover/SUV. City, Virtus, Salvia are the ones making Sedans still alive.
Well aerodynamics... Simple physics. ..
AERODYNAMICS for the win 🏆
Slavia 1.5 manual vs VW Virtus GT, we want❤

Pickup taigun gt ❤
Just what i need 😅in traffic and up hill
Air drag became the villain for Taigun because of its shape.
You should’ve interchanged the drivers!
Waiting for Virtus GT vs Verna Turbo 🔥
next video on :
verna 1.5 turbo mt vs virtus 1.5 gt mt
Aerodynamics the deciding factor !
Manual vs dsg what do you guys think. This will exciting drag.
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…
Virtus GT DSG vs Verna 1.5 turbo DCT please. Also Virtus 1.5 manual vs Verna 1.5 turbo manual
Show the stats side by side at the same time not one after the other.
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
The aerodynamics & virtus being 6kg lighter gave it a lead
Verna vs slavia
Please also do the rolling drag race we would love to watch more like this🔥🙏
No ugly suv's can match the performance and dynamics of beautiful sedan's......
When aerodynamic kicks in vitrus goes like rocket 😊.
Virtus vs verna plz
We want Soumil to take revenge by being on a Taigun GT Manual.
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 ?
fking Sedan for the win bro . Thats y i love sedans ❤❤. Booked the virtus manual 1.5 🔥🔥
Best choice 💪
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
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.
Autocar is killing it by dragrace ❤
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
The drone shot, WOW!
Damm that Virtus seriously runs like a fast horse 🐎❤️🔥
Bro just lower the ground clearance of Virtus, Sedan is meant to be low, it looks as if a coupe is on a diet.. I'm sure it would look drop dead gorgeous for the already looking like one ❤
Lowered virtus would be much faster i think
Bro next time drag race with tiago and celerio
Verna vs virtus plzz
Make same type of video on Skoda Kushaq v Skoda Slavia
Virtus, Taigun, Slavia & Kushaq, all these ain't getting rear disc brakes.
Is that something that should be there in such powerful cars ?
Kindly do the same test with manual cars.
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.
Just one more reason why sedans >> crossovers any day.
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.
Very good cars to test 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Virtus is bigger car with boot space still it wins against an crossover.the basic never changes physics

For what 😅
@@electronic_guy8471 Comment is necessary to encourage more such content, VRS because why not!
@@adityadange954 ohh ! I misread your comment! My bad. 'With it's' and I related to Virtus segment
@@electronic_guy8471 No worries 👍🏼
Paisa hi nahi hai 😂😂 phir bhi dekh raha hu
liked this video even before watching it !!
Only thing played the most role is "Aerodynamics"
It would be nice to add a rolling race as well!!
Don't forget that fucking dron is also in the race and damn it manages to keep up
u guys should do rolling race and breaking test too
Plz do a drag race on the 1L booster jet engine fronx
It's time for Verna vs Virtus!
Please bikes vs car and a special r15 vs alto but do it with v3
Next between the jeep meridian and Toyota fortuner
You can't beat sedan due to less aerodynamic friction.
That Verna on the sideline
Imagine being rich enough to use an EQS as your camera vehicle.
Aerodynamics ....baby..
Virtus feels more upmarket than its sibling
Virtus ❤
Next :- Nexon petrol vs brezza Or any other petrol machine
summary: virtus ins, as it jhas advantage of lesser wind resistance
Sedans for life🤙🤙
Manual versions would have been interesting!
That drone would beat most cars in a drag race!
Did Autocar just use a Benz EQS as a camera vehicle!!!!!!!!!?
Please do Honda city vs virtus 1.0
Brezza 1.5 NA vs Nexon Petrol 1.2 Turbo
Could have used creta turbo with Honda city.....Turbo Would have won easily
Where can I watch the rickshaws in drag race.
Now bring slavia vs virtus
xuv700 petrol would have them both for breakfast. mStallion Rocks!

@@archismanadhikary1548 maybe, but only in a straight line. 200 horses wont do anything when the car is shaped like a box
I’m curious for the rikshaw race 😂
One more comparison with salvia n kushaq
You just need to have better driver for drag races.
They struggle to pull of the line on every single drag races of yours.
Virtus and hyundai verna manual...
Virtus gt vs new Verna turbo please
Innova Crysta 2.8 vs Hycross Hybrid please!!
Aerodynamic virtus to win the race
Next drag between VW VIRTUS V/S Hyundai Verna
Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to the physics.
virtus vs Verna drag race brother
Drag of Kushaq 1.5 please
virtus just has just more aerodynamics or else taigun would of course win
S cross 1.5 petrol manual please
Don't call them SUV's
Virtus gt vs verna turbo please
