The Virtus is Volkswagen’s only sedan that is currently on sale in India, and it sells more than the Taigun SUV, which is contrary to the general market trend. Here are the top 5 things that we like about the Volkswagen Virtus.
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 adequate power and torque numbers that they possess.
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.
Despite being a sedan, the Virtus gets a respectable ground clearance of 179mm, making driving the car on poor roads an easy job. You don’t have to worry much about scraping the underbelly of the car in most conditions.
The Virtus has a wheelbase of 2,651mm, ensuring enough space inside the cabin. Moreover, the sedan gets a boot space of 521 litres, which is enough to fit in all of your luggage for a quick trip to the hills.
The Virtus is one of the best driver’s cars in India currently on sale under this side of the Rs 20 lakh bracket. It boasts of good handling and adequate performance; and the fuel efficiency isn’t bad either.
