Trending Questions on Volkswagen Cars - Answered by Autocar Experts

Asked by: Anirudha Aiyeron Jan 18, 2026

So, I have two options shortlisted in my list. One is a well-maintained 2022 Jeep Meridian Limited (O) for ₹22 lakh. It has a clean service and insurance history. The other is considering a new car. I’m someone who values driving pleasure more than outright practicality. What would you suggest for someone who’s going to driving 60% city & 40% highway?

The Jeep Meridian's build, quality and ride-handling balance are excellent, and the price at which you're getting a well-maintained used example seems fair. Do keep in mind that the Meridian's diesel engine isn't very refined, and it can feel a bit sluggish within urban confines.

Alternatively, you could consider the 2.0 TSI versions of the Volkswagen Tiguan and Skoda Kodiaq, which are great driving cars. Their petrol version delivers strong and smooth performance, something that you are likely to appreciate. Both of these cars are available with a very competent 2.0 diesel engine, although these will be 5-year-old or older examples.

If you want a new SUV, the Mahindra XUV 7XO is a great option. And, in case you're open to electric cars, the Mahindra XEV 9e is one you will enjoy driving.

Asked by: Srikar Nagon Jan 15, 2026

I have a budget of ₹50 lakh on-road and need a comfortable 7-seater car. Which one should I buy?

There aren't many choices in the Rs 50 lakh range for seven-seater cars, but there are a few options to consider. If the third-row space is not critical and will only be used occasionally for short trips, the best seven-seater for your budget is the Skoda Kodiaq. It drives exceptionally well, thanks to a smooth and strong turbocharged petrol engine, as well as good handling.

The cabin is well-equipped and feels pretty premium, too. You could also consider the Volkswagen Tayron. It will be launched next month and is in the same league as the Kodiaq, though the price has not been announced yet.

If third row comfort and all-around space are your priority, then Innova Hycross hybrid is your best option. But, it is a step down from the Kodiaq, and Tayron. Being a hybrid, you will find it exceptionally smooth, especially when it runs in full electric mode.

Asked by: Ashwanion Jan 13, 2026

I am planning to buy an automatic car with a budget of up to ₹20 lakh (maximum). My priorities are automatic engine, safety and comfort. I am confused between the new-generation Kia Seltos and the Honda Elevate. Should I wait for the upcoming Taigun and Elevate facelifts?

The Kia Seltos is a very good all-rounder, and the new-generation car has had focused improvements in ride quality and rear seat space, so this should meet your requirements for a comfortable car. Safety equipment is good, with features like six airbags and ESC standard across the range. The car has not been crash tested by GNCAP or BNCAP yet.

The Volkswagen Taigun has secured a 5-star GNCAP rating, and the facelift should secure the same too. However, in terms of comfort, it would rank behind the Seltos and will take a few months to arrive, with the Honda Elevate being later still. Thus, on the whole, we think the Kia Seltos is a good buy that you can happily go ahead with.

Asked by: Dr k Jaya Kumaron Jan 13, 2026

I am confused between the Hyundai Verna SX Plus IVT and the Volkswagen Virtus 1.0 Topline automatic. Please help.

In a nutshell, the Hyundai Verna IVT makes for a friendlier city car, while the Volkswagen Virtus AT is the more exciting car to drive.

The Verna has a smoother gearbox, which works very well with the engine at typical city speeds. It works well as a highway car too, so long as easygoing driving is your style. The Verna also packs in more features for less money.

The Volkswagen Virtus has a punchier engine and feels more enthusiastic to drive. Its 6-speed gearbox is also sporty in its shifts. However, the engine-gearbox does have a tendency to lurch forward at crawling speeds, and this is something you have to be mindful of.

Do note, the Virtus 1.0 is due to get a new 8-speed automatic gearbox later this year and could be worth waiting for. The model will also see feature additions.

Asked by: JITHIN TKon Jan 12, 2026

Which seating position gives more comfort for long drives - low seat height cars like the Glanza or sedans, SUV seating like the Taigun and Grand Vitara, or MPVs like the Innova?

Broadly speaking, the higher you sit in a car, the more comfortable you are, which is why SUVs and MPVs are more comfortable over long drives. But it's not just the height of the car but lots of other factors like the ‘H-Point’ (the distance between your hip and the floor) under thigh support, the seat cushioning and finally the driving position which impacts comfort on a long drive.

Asked by: Achin Jainon Jan 9, 2026

I own the Virtus 1.5 GT. My question relates to driving the car for short distances. I’ve heard that diesel engine cars need to be driven on an open road occasionally to clean up the DPF filter. Do I need to do something similar for my turbo-petrol car, or is it okay to drive it in city traffic at slow speeds for extended periods?

Petrol cars don’t have a DPF filter, which, as the name suggests, diesel particulate filter- only applies to diesel cars. Your turbo petrol doesn’t have any such issues to worry about.

What you can do to keep your Volkswagen Virtus engine in top shape is to warm the engine properly on a regular basis. The trouble with very short trips is that the engine doesn’t warm up, which can lead to moisture and small amounts of unburnt fuel accumulating in the oil over time, which isn’t ideal for long-term engine health.

But a 20-30 minute run is enough for the engine to reach full operating temperature, which will keep everything running fine. Also, if you stick to your oil change schedule, with the correct VW-spec oil and decent fuel, your engine can last a lifetime.

Asked by: Akhil Malikon Jan 8, 2026

I have a budget of around ₹30 lakh and am more inclined towards a sedan rather than an SUV, but currently there are no good options. Are there any expected this year?

Sadly, there are no all-new Rs 25-30 lakh sedans lined up for launch this year. However, slightly lower down the price ladder, we will see the launch of updated versions of the Hyundai Verna, Honda City, Skoda Slavia and Volkswagen Virtus over the year.

There's way more choice for the same budget in SUVs with options spanning petrol, diesel, hybrid and EV powertrains as well as with two and three rows of seating, and 4x2 and 4x4.

Asked by: Rohanon Jan 7, 2026

I am looking to replace my old Honda CR-V, which can no longer be used in Delhi. Since Honda has discontinued the CR-V, what would be an ideal replacement under ₹60 lakh on-road in Delhi?

The ideal replacements for your Honda CR-V would be the Skoda Kodiaq and the upcoming Volkswagen Tayron. The closely related models (they are built on the same platform) are premium SUVs with upmarket cabins, plenty of features and the flexibility of a third row of seats. What will make them all the more appealing to you is the driving experience they offer. The 204hp, 2-litre turbo-petrol engine that powers them is punchy while the 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox is also quick to shift, and very likeable.

The two SUVs are fundamentally the same but differ in design and styling outside and inside. We expect the Volkswagen Tayron to launch by late January 2026.

Asked by: Ashwin T Von Dec 31, 2025

Hi, I own a 2014 diesel Ertiga and am planning to upgrade to an automatic car costing under ₹20 lakh. I am looking for a car that is equal to or shorter in length so that it fits into my garage. My usage is around 100 km per month in the city and 2,000 km per year on highways. Please suggest.

There are multiple automatic cars that fall within your budget, however, since vehicle length is a constraint, your choices are limited to the Volkswagen Taigun or Skoda Kushaq from the mid-size SUV segment; all the other options measure more than 4.3m in length.

You could also consider sub-4-meter compact SUVs like the Kia Syros and Mahindra XUV 3XO, both of which are excellent options. Out of these, our top pick would be the Syros for its spacious boot and cabin, high-quality interiors, and lengthy equipment list.

Asked by: BHASKARAM SAI VENKAT KRISHNAon Dec 31, 2025

I am looking to purchase a new car under 20-22 lacs within another 3 months. Actually, I'm a car enthusiast and love performance cars. I would be travelling within city everyday and out of the state once every 1-2 months. So, please suggest me accordingly.

The 1.5TSI versions of the Skoda Kushaq, Skoda Slavia, Volkswagen Taigun and Volkswagen Virtus, will certainly bring a smile to your face with their performance as well as dynamic prowess.

All these feel similar from behind the wheel, so pick the body style you prefer - sedan or SUV. Out of these, the Kushaq is likely to get updated in the coming weeks, so you may want to check that out before making your decision.

On the other hand, if you want a car that looks sporty, drives well, and has features like ADAS, you could also consider a Hyundai Creta N Line and Verna.
