THE VOLKSWAGEN VIRTUS
Overdrive
|September 2025
In a world dominated by SUVs, the sedan has often been overshadowed, pushed to the sidelines in the race for market supremacy. Yet, standing tall and proud, the Volkswagen Virtus defies this trend with a roaring presence that has captured the imagination and loyalty of Indian car enthusiasts. Built on the advanced MQB AO IN platform, the Virtus is more than just a vehicle; it's a statement. A statement of rebellion against conformity, a consolation to those who crave the purity of a true sedan experience amid the rising tide of SUVs.

At the heart of the Virtus' appeal lies its engineering prowess. The MQB AO IN platform, a product of Volkswagen's cutting-edge modular design philosophy, offers a robust foundation that supports four high-performance powertrains. This versatility means the Virtus is not just powerful; it's adaptable and built to thrive across India's diverse and challenging terrains. From the icy peaks of the Himalayas to the blistering heat of the Thar Desert, and the relentless, misty monsoons that drench the Western Ghats, the Virtus is engineered to conquer all. This is not a car that merely survives; it challenges and wins, irrespective of the season or surface under its wheels.
