Volkswagen launched the Virtus in India earlier this week, with prices starting at Rs 11.22 lakh (ex-showroom). We drove the latest sedan from the German automobile manufacturer last month, and you can read our review here.
The 2022 Volkswagen Polo is available with two powertrains including a 1.0-litre, three-cylinder TSI petrol engine paired to a six-speed manual unit or a six-speed torque converter automatic unit, and a 1.5-litre, four-cylinder, TSI Evo engine with ACT mated exclusively to a seven-speed DSG automatic unit. The former produces 114bhp and 178Nm of torque, while the latter produces 248bhp and 250Nm of torque. The fuel economy figures of the sedan were recently revealed, details of which are available here.
The new Volkswagen Virtus is offered in six colours: Wild Cherry Red, Curcuma Yellow, Rising Blue, Candy White, Reflex Silver, and Carbon Steel Grey.
