First Look Volkswagen Virtus Sedan

It's the third month of 2022 and we are already checking out the second mid-sized sedan in India after the Skoda Slavia, as a new Volkswagen car takes centrestage to rival the Hyundai Verna, Honda City, and the Maruti Suzuki Ciaz. Replacing the outdated Volkswagen Vento in the company’s line-up is the premium Volkswagen Virtus mid-sized sedan all set for a market debut in May, 2022. The Volkswagen Virtus is based on the same MQB-A0-IN platform that not only underpins the Volkswagen Taigun, but also forms the base for the Skoda Kushaq and the Skoda Slavia sedan. You will also be surprised to know that the Virtus is the facelifted version of the car available in the global market with India being the first one to get it. And so, the spiritual successor of the Volkswagen Vento finds several similarities with its Skoda sibling in terms of design, cabin, features and even powertrain options.
