In the current times, the market has shifted towards SUVs as their first choice while buying their car, be it first time buyers or anyone who is looking for a second or third car. And why, the road conditions of India perfectly suits their high ground clearance, they offer good practicality and may also buy you some bragging rights to who has the larger car, as the Americans have always said, bigger is always better.
But, in this new wave of SUVs, one has forgotten the basic and the best design of cars, the mighty SEDANS. They offer everything, a large boot to carry luggage, a spacious interior that could give any SUV a run for its money, and looks thatare literally jaw dropping. But, if a sedan offers this much, why are they slowly becoming so unpopular. Why don’t automakers even try to revive to what was once the pride and the bread earner for the brand, well, the VAG Group, better known as the Volkswagen Audi Group have answered just this question with their SKODA SLAVIA and VOLKSWAGEN VIRTUS.
These cars have filled in the enthusiasts drought for fun to drive cars ever since Ford left India. They offer great space, good features, but the cherry on top is their 1.5 L TSI Evo engine. With 150 BHP and 250 NM of torque, coupled with the state of the art DSG Transmission, it’s save to say that they are the most fun to drive cars in their segment and arguably the most fun to drive cars under 30 lakh Rupees in India.
But not just that, VAG Group has also focused on practicality and customer satisfaction. Like the cylinder deactivation technology in the 1.5L engine that shuts off 2 cylinders when driven in a calm and composed manner. Also, looking at the bad reputation of the maintenance of the DSG transmission, Skoda and VW both offer maintenance packages for 6 years and they can even be extended for 2 years after that. All in all, VAG Group surely has a winner up their sleeves and now it’s only a matter of time untill its competitors join in with their response.
