Volkswagen has launched the Virtus in India with a starting price tag of Rs. 11.22 lakh (ex-showroom). It replaces the aging Vento in our market. To recall, the German automaker had unveiled the mid-sized sedan in February and also commenced the pre-booking. The four-wheeler is based on the MQB-A0-IN architecture, specifically made for Indian road conditions, and features a distinctive design language.

Context
Why does this story matter?
  • Volkswagen's "India 2.0" project started with a bang with its Taigun mid-sized SUV. The vehicle garnered positive feedback from reviewers and customers alike.
  • The Virtus is the second offering from the German marque to be underpinned by the MQB-A0-IN platform, which liberates a lot of cabin space without compromising on safety.
  • The sedan rivals the likes of SKODA SLAVIA, Hyundai VERNA, and Honda City.
Exteriors
The sedan features projector LED headlamps and black alloy wheels

The Volkswagen Virtus gets a long, muscular hood, a sloping roofline, a sleek chromed grille, a wide air dam, and projector LED headlights with L-shaped DRLs. On the sides, the sedan is flanked by blacked-out B-pillars, indicator-mounted ORVMs, and 16-inch gloss black alloy wheels. Wrap-around LED taillights, a shark-fin antenna, and a blacked-out boot lid spoiler grace the rear end of the vehicle.

Information
It is offered with multiple powertrain options

The Volkswagen Virtus is powered by a 1.0-liter, three-cylinder turbo-petrol engine which makes 114hp/175Nm and a 1.5-liter, four-cylinder turbocharged petrol mill that develops 148hp/250Nm. Transmission duties are handled by either a 6-speed manual, a 6-speed torque converter automatic, or a 7-speed DCT gearbox.

Interiors
The car features a sunroof and 10.0-inch infotainment system

On the inside, the Volkswagen Virtus features a spacious five-seater cabin with dual-tone interior, ventilated front seats, automatic climate control, a sunroof, and a multifunctional steering wheel. It packs a digital instrument cluster and a 10.0-inch infotainment panel with support for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. For passengers' safety, it gets multiple airbags, ABS, EBD, and Electronic Stability Control (ESC).

Information
Volkswagen Virtus: Pricing and availability

In India, the Volkswagen Virtus carries a starting price tag of Rs. 11.22 lakh for the base ComfortLine variant and goes up to Rs. 17.92 lakh for the range-topping GT Plus trim (all prices, ex-showroom).
