The Virtus is a perfect illustration of a sedan that meets the aspirations of customers in India with a truly global outlook."

Volkswagen says the name Virtus is a combination of the words 'Virtuoso' and 'Virtues' that signify "excellence, finesse, energy and brilliance."

The car promises to be wider, longer and well-appointed while bringing in a host of creature comforts. Going by the Taigun, we won't be surprised to see feature-laden variants right from the entry-level trims.
