Volkswagen Virtus Global Debut Highlights: Launch Date, Features, Specifications, Images

The highly anticipated Volkswagen Virtus compact sedan has made its global debut in India today, and we have all the live updates from the event here. The Virtus is the first sedan from VW to be built on the localised MQB A0 IN platform, which already underpins the Taigun compact SUV. In fact, the new compact sedan will also share its powertrain options with the Volkswagen Taigun. While VW has not announced the price of the Virtus sedan today, pre-bookings for the car have commenced.

We still haven't seen the car in its undisguised avatar. However, based on the several spy photos we have seen, and the teaser released by the carmaker, the Virtus will be bigger than the outgoing Vento and will be similar in dimensions to Skoda's Slavia, which is also based on the MQB A0 IN platform.
