Volkswagen Virtus mid-size sedan to debut in May 2022

The Virtus shares its underpinnings with the upcoming Skoda Slavia.

According to Ashish Gupta, Brand Director, Volkswagen India, the Virtus mid-size sedan will debut in May 2022.

The Virtus will be based on the MQB A0-IN platform, similar to its sister car, the Skoda Slavia. It seems Volkswagen will be adopting a similar strategy for the Virtus as it did with the Taigun. The launch of the Slavia will precede the Virtus.

The Virtus is expected to be offered with the 1.0-litre and 1.5-litre turbo petrol engines. In the Slavia, these engines are rated at 113 BHP / 175 Nm and 148 BHP / 250 Nm, respectively. A 6-speed manual transmission is offered as standard with both engines. The former gets a 6-speed automatic option, while a slick 7-speed DSG is available with the 1.5L engine.
