Volkswagen's new compact sedan is giving a tough fight to the competition

Volkswagen has delivered 5,000 units of the Virtus compact sedan in India in over two months since its launch here in June 2022. It is currently priced between Rs 11.22 lakh and Rs 17.92 lakh (ex-showroom).

The compact sedan has, within the short span of its arrival, set two records, one each validated by the India Book of Records and the Asia Book of Records for being the sedan with the maximum number of deliveries in a day in India.

Available across Volkswagen’s 152 sales outlets across the nation, the Virtus is offered under two broad trims - Dynamic Line and Performance Line. The car comes with two engine options and they are a 1.0-litre turbo-petrol (delivering 115PS and 178Nm) and a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol (150PS and 250Nm).

While the smaller engine with three cylinders gets the choice of a six-speed manual and six-speed torque converter automatic gearboxes, the more powerful engine with the ‘Active Cylinder Technology’ only gets a seven-speed DSG (dual clutch auto).
