Igniting The Sedan Spirit

The Volkswagen Virtus

The Indian car market has seen a recent surge in love for SUVs. They are literally everywhere. But, dear readers of mine. Please let us remember the timeless elegance and driving pleasure of a wellcrafted sedan. Volkswagen, a brand synonymous with German engineering excellence, has thrown its hat back into the ring with the Virtus, and it's here to prove that sedans are anything but a bygone era.

They, my friends, are here to stay! The Virtus isn't just another contender; it's a strong assertion of Volkswagen's intent to reclaim the numero-uno position in the sedan segment. This car isn't about following trends; it's about setting new benchmarks. But don't take it up at face value. Rather let me tell you why the Virtus is a game-changer and the glimmer of hope for this breed of cars.
