The Virtus is one of the few sedans in India on this side of the Rs 20 lakh price bracket, and it is one of the most appealing options. Here are the top 3 Volkswagen Virtus pros and cons.
The Virtus is the more aggressive looking sedan of the German pair, and it looks rather good, with sleek headlights and tail lights, the iconic VW front grille, and thoughtful use of chrome on the exterior.
The Virtus gets the option of a 1.0-litre TSI petrol engine and a 1.5-litre TSI petrol engine, both of which provide an exciting driving experience due to the handsome power and torque outputs that they deliver.
The sedan is one of the best driver’s cars under the Rs 20 lakh price bracket, thanks to its turbo-petrol engines, sorted suspension setup, and chassis that complements the first two.
Volkswagen’s DQ200 dual-clutch transmission isn’t known to be a very reliable gearbox, and has been known to cause issues to owners in the past as well. The same gearbox also does duty on the Virtus.
The Volkswagen Virtus variants with the 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine are priced significantly higher than the ones with the 1.0-litre engine, as the former engine is imported and thus, attracts higher duties and taxes.
The Volkswagen Virtus interior has a likeable layout, but the quality of materials used isn’t the best out there. It makes the whole experience sour, especially considering the price of the sedan.
