Also Read: ADAS Tech Differences In 2023 Honda City & New-Gen Hyundai Verna

Verdict: The presence of ADAS in the 2023 Honda City is the only significant difference between the two midsize sedans. However, the 1.5 litre TSI engine of the VW Virtus is much more powerful and comes with a quick & smooth 7-speed DSG/DCT automatic. This makes it much superior to the 2023 Honda City's 1.5 litre i-VTEC engine with CVT automatic. To conclude, the 1.5 litre engine-powered Virtus would be a good option for buyers who want a performance-focused sedan, whereas the 2023 Honda City is definitely a good family car.
