Hyundai Verna vs Volkswagen Virtus GT | Double Trouble | PowerDrift
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 апр 2023
- The Volkswagen Virtus GT has been our default choice when it comes to a sedan this side of Rs 20 lakh because of that punchy 1.5 TSI, rapid-fire DSG and those tight driving dynamics. But with Hyundai stepping it up with the 2023 Verna in every single dimension? Is there a new sedan king in the market? Find out as Karan and ummm... Karan takes the two out for a drive!

I don’t know about the two but powerdrift falls in an entirely different category 👏🏻 . What great presentation and script… Hats off man !
thank you aamir, sending love back ❤️🫡
Give that guy in the video an award. Such a wonderful way of story telling. Loved the way PD gave a balanced view of both the cars on their strengths and imperfections. This video probably is the best guide for anyone looking to purchase a C Sedan in the Country!!
Thank you Sandeep, you’ve made my day 🙌❤️
@@carswithkaran Thanks much Karan for your response. If i were to ask you, as to which car you would pick of the two? or for that matter, what affordable car in the Country would be your individual choice or you currently drive?
Also a request for a video for the future is to present the PD army on which car does each team member at PD drive and why did they pick that specific Car? This content would make one heck of a video!!
@@sandeeproyal923 hi sandeep i’m so sorry i missed this reply! I’d pick the Verna honestly and live with the fact that the Virtus just looks a who lot better and deal with a less engaging driving experience. In terms of an affordable car I’d pick, I’m a big fan of the Bolero Neo, i20 N Line, maybe even the Thar and man there’s so many more, i really just love cars 🤣🤣
sadly tho i currently don’t own a car, i do ride a KTM 390 Duke tho but for sure that will make for an interesting podcast
@@carswithkaran Thanks much for your reply and honestly the best way to engage the PD army. More strength to this amazing team!
@@sandeeproyal923 Thank you Sandeep 🙌🏻
10,000 times better and more geniune than Cyrus. This is how an proper informative review is done.
thank you Vishesh ❤️❤️, but Cyrus is an absolute legend
True, I feel Cyrus is too far up his own... umm... head... he often sounds like a rich kid just throwing around his opinions trying to copy Clarkson.
(Cue scene from Chef (Jon Favreau) where he confronts the food critic)
Hyundai is running a social experiment on how ugly we can make our cars before people stop buying them.
sales numbers say otherwise. Verna alone sold 4k units so it is more than the sales of slavia and virtus combined.
True 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂 true that
For the sensible souls who see a car as a Swiss Army knife on wheels, the Verna is like that trusty gadget that has a tool for every twist and turn of life's highways and byways. It's the vehicular equivalent of a multi-purpose balm, soothing the budget-conscious, family-first driver in India's bustling cities and arrow-straight roads. Meanwhile, the Virtus is the flashy sports car in a tuxedo at a casual brunch - it's dashing, it's daring, but perhaps a tad too dressy for the daily drive-thru. So, if you're part of the 90%, hop into the Verna; it's the automotive equivalent of a wise old owl in a world of peacocks.
Amazing presentation guys - this is what PD was at the beginning and this is where you guys are taking it to. Seriously one of the best and balanced comparision video i have seen in a long time.
AL, i cannot tell you how good this makes me feel, thank you buddy 🙌❤️
The term value for money is not for Hyundai in my opinion,
If VW does a design they do it to get it right,
The difference can be felt in each and every critical component from brake, sheetmetal thickness used in chassis to make a robust structure, brake calibration, the start stop function works so brilliantly that even you accidently stop the car by putting higher gear at lower speed the car automatically starts back once you press the clutch.
The problem is quality, calibration and feeling of safety cannot be kept on the brochure for Virtus, where as Hyundai cut cost where people don't realise and they just go by the feature list.
The people who understand the value of quality and safety will go for VW.
Have you ever of DSG failures in VW/Skoda? The poor sales is because of the non-reliability of the DSG system and not because of customers' lack of understanding regarding safety and quality.

Good that you brought this topic up👍
Yes several owners had issues with the DQ200 gearbox and in India particularly VW used to import these gearboxs and dealers were reluctant to replace the part which failed in the gearbox. Customers were asked to get the whole gearbox replaced, that was expensive. VW had learnt their lesson and they have understood the root cause of technical and service problems and the Current gen DSG has no such issue.
You can ask me how you do I know about this.
I as an unbiased engineer had an opportunity to interact and understand from one of the key person who was a part root cause analysis team for DQ200.
@@rajasekhar9840 As somebody who had his VW Polo breakdown three times in 8 years, I'd take anything that VW/Skoda say with a truck load of salt. Moreover, they have not claimed that they have fixed the issue. They are claiming that they have "increased" the reliability of the DQ200 which is not the same as "fixing" the issues with the gearbox. And finally as an engineer myself who has worked with Mahindra, specifically with the mHawk engine, for over a decade and as an ethusiast, I can tell you that the dry clutch DQ200 issues cannot be completely fixed as the flaws are with the design itself and because of our harsh weather in summers. I love VW cars and they are a driver's dream but they also are an owner's nightmare. Cheers!
@@fallenjedi17
I understand your pain as an owner of VW polo, No arguments there.
I'll wait for VW Virtus dsg owner to write a feedback after 3 years of ownership.
6:22 Verna Also Scored 5 ⭐ in GNCAP
Such a balanced review and that’s what we expect from PD⚡️
Straight to the point- Buy a Verna if you want a complete package and Virtus if you are an enthusiast who has understanding of what driving dynamics is.
thank you for watching and that’s exactly the point - different cars for different people, one isn’t outright better than the other!
This period.
I saw the most voted comment abt 5 star rating heck people want a complete package or whats practical for them and that doesn't always transalte to 5 star rating
Best presentation ever for any car comparison absolutely nailed it. ❤
Virtus what a looker 🔥
Loved the way how it was presented and articulated. Well done guys.!
Thank you Siva, loved that you took the time out to comment ❤️
Brilliant way to define the TGs & the cars. Very unusual & fresh approach of presenting a review content. Kudos to powerdrift. Eagerly waiting for jimny vs thar!
Finally an amazing video by PD after a very long time. 👏
Thank you Sukrit, comments like yours make the hard work worth it ❤
Experts PlZ advise should I go to Hyundai i20 sportz or tata punch accomplished?
Cars ho toh German jaise, Content ho toh PD jaisa 🔥🔥🔥
KTM ho toh Shounak jaisi!
2:41 The Engine Note is so nice.
In the bike videos you can tell that Karan is still growing into the bike reviewer role, but his car reviews are some of the best stuff Powerdrift puts out. Good job!
Win win!
Great vid. Nice concept. Also, a detailed video. Really helped me. Wanted to know properly about the suspension difference and which works in what way in Indian potholes. Wasn't getting in other videos. Kudos 👍
thank you Sujeet, glad it helped! You can always reach me on Instagram for help as well
Amazing 🤩😍 content the way they reviewed both of the cars by highlighting the features in contrast ❤️
PD is just love ❤️ what a vdo guys what cinematography what unbiased review ❤️ I just love this channel for many reasons
Thank you Soham, we love that you love the videos ❤
Absolutely brilliant presentation, great job team pd and superb job Karan Singh 🤗
thank you ❤️❤️
Great script guys! Like great conceptualization, and commentary. Make more of such videos.
thank you Karan, more epic content coming right up
- from another Karan
Played it safe. Well played, PD😅
Where did they get the tsi power cap from?
Powerdrift videos are like watching mini-movies
Such a balanced review. Loved it!!
Thank you my friend ❤
This is the best comparison between rivals ❤ both have some pros n cons. But I don't need flashy tubelight 😅 love for VIRTUS

Great comparison, on point conclusion. Enjoyed watching this . Job well done Karan👏. Thanks for bringing this video PD .
good presentation and good ending with no conclusion, owners win in their own heart for each car :)
thank you Devendra, that is the conclusion though - different cars for different people!
Hats off to the script writer... Kudos👏
we want to see drag race between both of these cars
6:05 verna 6 airbags as standard but non of them does their job 💀
Been a while for Comparos! Nice nice nice. For some reason i know the virtus is everyones fav in PD office. Virtus is BAE.
I thought your presentation was brilliant and you presented the differences with a lot of accuracy and finesse. Moreover you kept the viewer engaged. I have driven both cars and share the same sentiments. Was disappointed that the Verna didn't come with the wireless Apple car play. The Virtus feels totally executive and not as much a fun to drive car as much as the Verna. The only feather in their cap is the 5 star NAACP rating and Verna is still awaited. My vote is for the Verna for the bold look and maverick styling. Keep those videos coming my friend !!
Verna looks stunning. From 8.09 to 8.13....
After long time seeing a good video from PD team.
Those final 3/4th shot of both the cars tells you that virtus is such a looker omg 🔥🔥🔥🔥 VW u nailed it. Meanwhile Hyundai ruined the fluidic design with that frontend
Virtus anyday anytime it's just a killer🔥🔥🔥🔥😍😍
People love verna looks now as you guys shown it beautifully even though we have classic badass virtus. ❤PD Army
Look at the steering wheel of virtus. It looks as if its tempo traveller😂😂😂😂
Great video! I love how detailed and informative your review was. The presentation was top-notch!
Vaishak, thank you my man 🫵🏻🔥
Excellent presentation guys, keep it up.
5 star rating is a must and most important thing to have in a car and performance with safety is always better than features without safety 😅
As long as everyone wheres seatbelt it matters.. there is no point buying a 5 star safety car and only the front passengers wear it
Well it’s too early for judging verna as it doesn’t have any safety ratings. But the bonut is super heavy tank build unlike other hyundai cars. Don’t trust me, go and check for sure. Interior quality is way superior in hyundai. Specially the airconditioner is amazing.
Overall I can bet Verna will get at least 4 star rating. Let’s wait and watch.
Also wireless android auto will come with upcoming software update. Note that this Verna is not been launched anywhere else. It will launch soon in North America as Hyundai Accent 2023.
@@autobots3772 Again bro it is useless to point the heaviness of the bonet, as there is a mandate in crash test to test the pedestrian head on collision with the bonnet. Plz check the new Octavia s bonnet, it will flex if we press it, that doesn’t mean they are weak, it has to be designed in such a way for the safety of the pedestrians. Still almost all the auto reviewers talking about the heaviness of the bonnet. FYI, if you have checked the solidity of a BMW during 2004 to 2010, they will be felt like a tank. Currently if you check the BMW , they don’t feel such solidity. This doesn’t mean that current generation cars are not safe compared, to previous generations. Now the technology is totally different.
@@varunsubramaniam spot on!! 100% true. And if we compare history of hyundai verna ll not get more than 3 star. Being ex owner of i20, those soft suspensions are not for those who love to drive. Hyundai ll be getting more points only in 2 areas, interior quality and features they offer.
@@varunsubramaniam It’s utter bullsh** spread by car manufacturers to justify cost cutting and imporve mileage for morons like you in the name of pedestrian safety 😂. New octavia stands nowhere in terms of build than previous gen hence failed in India and discontinued now. If I’m wrong by that sense then why jeep, tata, Mahindra cars are building car with heavy bonut and doors?
What is the cost to repair or replace turbo & DSG or DCT
At a loss of words.. what better way to compare the cars..EPIC 🔥
Soumodip bro thank you ❤🙌
Drag race needed 💪
performance, occupants safety & comfort are first, rest like creature comfort, luxury, looks, infotainment second! i wish they bring back the golden vw tdi!
Love it when he says “when u come home from a long vacation and head to the loo.. everything seems in the right place “ 😂😂😂.. nailed it bro 👊
Hands down to you guys, PD makes the best videos.
i ll always pick TSI over anything.
Quattro better 😅
thank you Rahul 🙌🙌
It’s always Virtus❤
German engineering over korean reverse engineered anyday!!!!!
engineering is better but does it worth the cost of purchase and cost of maintenance
Crazy good vid ! But covers all important points !
Great video, waiting for the drag next!!! Please
Everyone says Virtus but most of them end up buying maruti or Hyundai 😂😂
Short and crisp video…to the point comparison and still no ad. Wow…….kudos to your work 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
How about Slavia?
- Same as Virtus. Rhetorical question.
In workshop
@@ewanssoman6321 😂
Thank god you got rid off that bean bag. Excellent presentation.
Ek baat to ki nhi virtus (179mm)has more ground clearance than the verna(165mm) which makes virtus most practical sedan car in the segment....
Virtus is champion in safety, drivind dynamics and the way it feels and looks......
Hyundai ke cars purane gncap ke norms me 3 star h agar wo updated gncap me test ho to 1 ya 2 star rh jayengi aur virtus ke naye updated gncap me 5 star ratings h wo bhi front and rear dono seats me with highest score ever any car scored samajh rhe ho bhai virtus is miles ahead of hyundai when it comes to safety...
Bhai hyundai me itna ground clearance de dete to vo palat jaati , abhi normal me hi confidence nhi de paati verna 179mm me to pta nhi kya hota 😂
Verna has 170 mm ground clearance
Jason Cammisa would be proud of that magnifying glass and wrong powered spectacles analogy 😂
Who is he
thank you Sangeet but man, Cammisa is on an absolute other level in terms of content - i dont miss a single one of his videos
@@MrDrone-qt6sw definitely, definitely just youtube search and watch his videos if you like epic car content!
@@carswithkaran oh
Wow! Perfect presentation and crisp review. Best one from PowerDrift.👌🏼👏🏼
thank you Krishna 🙌
Presentation Level 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Superb video shot in Powerdrift style 👌🤟
Thank you Yatesh ❤
By far, the best commentator for cars. Keep it up Karan. We need the fresh wittiness
thank you Karan, you have by far the best name in the world 😂❤
@@carswithkaran likewise, ha
Don’t let dhabar do the reviews, just like this one
creature comfort can be installed aftermarket and lets be honest those become outdated quickly and you even use them most of the time. What one cannot add after the fact is the performance, safety and driving dynamics. I have had cruise control for more than 6 years now but there are no roads to actually use it. Maybe ADAS is better maybe not...only time can tell that but loosing driving characteristics over that is not a perferable.
The end scenes 8:10 ... Just amazing!!
thank you ❤️🙌
Such an unbiased & genuine comparo.PD🔥
Epic review. Karan FTW ! Both cars rock !!
Thank you Rohan 😉
More than Verna and Virtus i think the old PD is back 🔥….
Split personality ftw 😂
For a lot of people safety is the number one priority much above than the features and for that reason brands like hyundai,kia,maruti and maybe MG just cancel out immediately
Pls correct the boot space has difference of 7 litres not 18 litres...
Virtus-521 ltrs
Verna-528 ltrs
I honestly doesn't care for that much accessories or comfort accessories... u need those when u r slow... when u r in VW u reach ur destination faster and safet which is much more important
Mic drop moment! Way to go PD...🎉
thank you Sabarish ❤
Still I choose Virtus GT ❤️
Superb presentation! 😃👍
Best review of VW Virtus GT I have ever seen till date😅
Best comparo ever.... I liked the story telling 😊
Verna copied Virtus's assignment but changed it a bit 😅
The presentation is lit 🔥 guys.
Verna just scored 5*
I am Impressed with that suspension analogy.
thank you Mandar, means the world when someone notices the little things 🙌❤️
That Entry Of Virtus❤❤❤
Very interesting story telling loved it and point put across very well! 😊
Boring 😢 I'm not sure
I'm really watching PD video
Superb communication as well as jugalbandi maza agya really or yess dono cars bhaut achi hai if virtual have 5 star rating then verna have adas level 2 safety which avoid accidents
Daaaaamn, perfect video and perfect comparison in 8 minutes, i loved it 😂🔥
hahaha glad you liked it Daanish ❤
Waiting for Signal to signal..🔥🔥
Should have included the slavia as well. I imagine what would happen if Honda introduces a turbo charged vtec
Kya Kamal presentation skills hain tumhari, kitne effortlessly tumne uske driving dynamics ko curvy road wali analogy se samjhaya
Dil ko chuu gaya
Like de diya tumhe
Sufiyan ji apka comment ne dil ko chu liya, thank you 🙌❤️
best comparison...hats off u guys
Skoda Slavia 1.5 manual smiling in the corner
Those who are buying GT won’t look for ADAS, rear curtain , ambient lighting etc.. GT means pure driving pleasure.. and in that case VW & Škoda has no match from the Koreans or the Japanese..
For the sensible souls who see a car as a Swiss Army knife on wheels, the Verna is like that trusty gadget that has a tool for every twist and turn of life's highways and byways. It's the vehicular equivalent of a multi-purpose balm, soothing the budget-conscious, family-first driver in India's bustling cities and arrow-straight roads. Meanwhile, the Virtus is the flashy sports car in a tuxedo at a casual brunch - it's dashing, it's daring, but perhaps a tad too dressy for the daily drive-thru. So, if you're part of the 90%, hop into the Verna; it's the automotive equivalent of a wise old owl in a world of peacocks.
Verna is more like a family sedan for a comfortable ride meanwhile virtus is an enthusiastic car for a sporty experience
Killer, love the way things are explained. Virtus, go for safety and performance, and don't run behind Features. need to be safe on the road.
Thanks Mahima 🤙
For those who want features, let them go....
yeah volkswagen cars are safe, but hyundai cars(mostly elder cars and this verna too) are actually strongly built, my own grand i10 (2014 model) feels very sturdy and the metals used are pretty thick and heavy. And most of car enthusiasts know tht this verna is reliable in terms of safety, if you remember verna got into an accident with a high speed, and heavy bullet with two chumtiy riders.. the verna albeit the front part partially damaged had its engine started with no problems at all. So verna may be not as strong as Volkwagen Virtus but not very weak compared to it too.
The way it looks and the way it drives - perfect sum up❤ booked my Virtus Gt plus
Where is the drag race? should have added it in this review
5:30 Virtus has 521L storage and Verna gets 528L boot space which is 7L more than Virtus and in practical sense it is just completely insignificant.
If you want a joyful ride with that crunchy engine sweet sporty sound. And safety matter for you and your family for Virtus. Adas for noob drivers legends driver doesn't even need rear camera.
As much as I love Verna's spec sheet talking as an i20 nline owner... If I had this kinda money I'd go for the Virtus.. maybe it's just me who likes sporty cars but virtus is a whole different beast
He is saying variable geometry turbocharger like a big thing which is only available in porsche 911😂, xuv300, c3 turbo already have that
Nice way of giving a review but any time VW ❤❤
