On-Road Score

Volkswagen Virtus to me, it represents the perfect blend of European driving dynamics, contemporary design, and class-leading safety. The 1.5 TSI in particular delivers refined performance and effortless highway cruising, while the spacious cabin and large boot make it practical for family use. Most importantly, its 5-star Global NCAP safety rating inspires real confidence when driving with loved ones. In a market shifting heavily to SUVs, the Virtus keeps the sedan spirit alive with a premium yet understated personality, which is why it stands out as my pick.

The 1.5 TSI engine with DSG gearbox gives it proper punch, and the way Virtus handles corners feels like you're driving a proper sports sedan rather than a family car. The stability at high speeds is confidence inspiring, and it strikes a great balance between performance and everyday usability. I also like that it looks sharp without being overdone - it's one of those cars that makes you smile every time you get behind the wheel.

I use the Virtus for city and occasional highway drives. It feels light and responsive, with solid mid-range torque. City mileage hovers around 10–12 kmpl and highway settles near 18 kmpl, depending on fuel quality. Interior feels ergonomic but plastics feel dated. Brake performance and safety features like six airbags and ESC offer confidence. A little noisy over uneven roads but enjoyable to drive.

Volkswagen virtus Exceptional build quality and reliability that VW is renowned for Outstanding fuel efficiency through proven german technology ,Spacious, comfortable cabin suitable for Indian road conditions ,Strong resale value and widespread service network,Represents the future of sustainable mobility in India.

Feels like a proper driver’s car. Superb engine, good mileage, and solid build. The DSG is quick but can be jerky at low speeds. Looks classy, especially in GT trim. Very happy with the purchase.
