Last year, when Skoda Slavia made its debut in the Indian market, it revived the c-segment sedan market. Following it hot on the heels was the Volkswagen Virtus, with which its understated styling won the hearts of the Indian audience. Furthermore, the Honda City has just been updated with a nip and tuck job, and it also gets updated powertrain options. The feature list is revamped too.
