To go through the real situation of the Virtus in 2025- it is not just struggling to survive the market, which is full of SUVs, but it is also flourishing. The question on whether there is a reason this sedan continues to sell more than 1,700 units monthly against all odds might be lingering in your mind. It seems that Volkswagen is finding the right music in terms of design, performance and safety in the Indian market.
Refreshed Styling That Feels Familiar Yet Premium
Virtus itself is now available in eight colour choices, having lost its Curcuma Yellow. They have Chrome and Sport versions with minor aesthetic differences, chrome trim to look classy, blacked-outs to give off a sporty look. The headlamps are a projector and LED, the wheels 16 inch alloys, and its body has a coupe-like profile to ensure it is not over-the-top.
Engine Choices That Balance Power and Efficiency
You will have two turbo-petrol: 1.0L TSI with 114 bhp and 1.5L TSI EVO with 148 bhp. Both engines have both manual and automatic gearbox options and the 1.5L has a 7-speed DSG. It gets 18.45 to 20.8 kmpl grounding on the variant and transmission3.
Cabin Tech That Keeps You Connected
The Virtus also has a 10-inch touchscreen inside with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. There is enhanced comfort and class in the ventilated seats, ambient lighting and a digital cockpit which does not seem to be gimmicky. Modern-day driving benefits by having wireless charging and a pair of paddle shifters in a close-and-tight cabin.
Safety That’s More Than Just a Rating
One thing most people will fail to note is that the Virtus has a 5-star Global NCAP rating, both adults and child occupants. A complete safety tool features six airbags, ESC, hill-holding aid, and braking in many accidents. It is not a mere check in box experience that counts but it is the survival of families or individual drivers that matter.
