The Virtus was a rare case of having sold more than its SUV counterpart. In FY25, its sales of 21,094 units were more than Taigun's sales (19,910 units)

INDIAN CAR BUYERS' love for SUVs can be gauged from the fact that, in FY25, one midsize SUV (Hyundai Creta, with 194,871 units) sold three times more than five midsize sedans (71,916 units).

These five are Skoda Slavia, Honda City, Hyundai Verna, Maruti Suzuki Ciaz, Volkswagen Virtus.

Of these, the Virtus is going strong, and it was the only model whose sales rose.
