On March 8, Volkswagen's new Virtus model was officially released. The new car can be regarded as the sedan version of the Volkswagen Polo, and after the mid-term redesign, it basically continues the design language of the mid-term redesign of the Polo. The new car is built on the MQB A0 platform and will be produced in India in the future and sold to 25 countries and regions, including India, with the main sales in the South American market.
In terms of appearance, it can be seen that the front design of the new car is basically consistent with the new Polo, the grille design is very flat, and the interior is decorated with simple horizontal trim and chrome trim, the headlights on both sides are sharper, and the internal LED daytime running lights are also connected with the chrome trim. The lower part of the front of the new car adopts a large-size through-through design, with fog lights on both sides and decorated with through-type chrome trim strips, which makes the visual effect more aggressive.
The new car has a length, width and height of 4561/1752/1507 mm and a wheelbase of 2651 mm. The side of the new car adopts the standard sedan shape ratio, and the lines are very smooth. The model released this time is a GT-Line version of the model, which hangs a GT logo at the grille, the side window trim and the rearview mirror shell are all bright black treatment, and the 16-inch double five-spoke black rim is also quite sporty.
At the rear, the taillights of the new car are shaped to echo the headlights, and the internal light group has been redesigned. It is worth noting that the GT-Line version of the model is designed with a small size spoiler in bright black at the end of the tail compartment cover, and the name logo is also hung in the central position under the photo, which has a good sense of layering as a whole.
In terms of interior, the new car still maintains the classic design style of the Volkswagen family, equipped with a 10.25-inch full LCD instrument and a 9.2-inch embedded central control screen, and the red trim panel of the center console position around also adds a certain fashion atmosphere. In addition, the new car also supports CarPlay and Android Auto mobile phone interconnection, and provides front seat ventilation, automatic air conditioning, wireless charging, and adaptive cruise.
In terms of power, the new car will be available with two engines, 1.0T and 1.5T, with a maximum power of 115 horsepower and matching a 6-speed manual and 6AT transmission. The 1.5T engine has a maximum power boost of 150 horsepower and matches a 6-speed manual and 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
