Volkswagen Virtus review

Power, Handling performance to the highway. With full control in hands. Mileage is also good in both conditions. Look like Audi A3. Go for it with a second thought. Because the car is a sedan and a sedan is a car.

Best sedan in the segment

I've been using the car for 5 years now, I have experienced the best-of-class comfort in this segment and the best thing is has the lowest service cost and comes with the trust of Maruti so highly recommended if you are looking for a sedan in this segment.

Love it

I got this in black colour. This car is Affordable and great comfort. I recommend and it. This is my first Nissan can and I love it. If you are planning to get a car with comfort and nice trunk space Better mileage go for it.

By Vikrant Singh21 Nov 2019

After the Micra, the Sunny is probably the most important car for Nissan and its plans for the Indian market for it will compete in a segment where people are particularly finicky about the value they get from the money they spend. So, if the Sunny really has to shine then it must offer space, equipment, reliability, power and economy. But does Nissan’s new Sunny offer all these? AUTO BILD INDIA’s forthcoming issue has the answer to that one
