On March 8, the new Volkswagen Virtus officially released its official chart and announced that it is expected to be officially launched in late May. The new car can be seen as a sedan version of the Volkswagen Polo, which is a mid-term revamp since its launch in 2018. In the future, the new car will be produced on the MQB A0 platform in India and sold to more than 25 countries, including India, mainly in the South American market.
The new car features almost the same design as the new Polo, with a through-feed chrome trim in the middle mesh that is cleverly connected to the "L" shaped daytime running lights on both sides. The lower bracket also adopts a horizontal design language, which widens the visual effect of the front face as a whole. A fang-like design is also used in the lower bracket to separate the fog light area, and the sense of movement is improved.
The side of the car creates a sneaky effect through the lines of the C-pillar, and the new car will also introduce a GT-Line appearance kit, in addition to the "GT" logo at the front fender, it is also equipped with a black roof and chrome door handles, etc., and the dynamic 16-inch rim is also eye-catching. In terms of body size, the new car is 4561mm long, 1752mm wide, 1507mm high, and has a wheelbase of 2651mm.
The taillight styling changes a lot, which also adds a lively aura to the new car. Under the logo of the Volkswagen brand, the new car also added the English logo of "Virtus" to improve recognition. In addition, the new car is equipped with a duckling-tail spoiler and a shark fin antenna for added sportiness.
The car still retains the Volkswagen family design style, which will be equipped with a 10.25-inch full LCD meter and a 9.2-inch central control screen, and support Apple CarPlay and Android Auto mobile phone interconnection functions. The configuration will have front seat ventilation, automatic air conditioning, electric sunroof, wireless charging and adaptive cruise, etc., and the configuration is still very rich.
Power will be available in both 1.0T and 1.5T engines. The 1.0T engine has a maximum power of 115 horsepower, and the drivetrain is matched with a 6-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed automatic transmission. The 1.5T engine has a maximum power of 150 horsepower, traditionally matched with a 6-speed manual transmission or a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
In 2018, Volkswagen officially launched the Virtus, which is the sedan version of the Volkswagen Polo, mainly for the Brazilian market.

In 2021, Skoda officially acquired full technical control of the Volkswagen MQB A0 global platform, and based on the platform, it has launched the Skoda Kushaq, Skoda Slavia and Volkswagen Taigun for the Indian market.
