  • Three transmission choices including a genuine 7-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic
  • GT trims add a distinct sport-focused Performance Line, not just badges

Worth knowing

  • GT Edge top trim pushes close to Rs 19.2 lakh, a real premium over the base Comfortline
  • 26 variants across two trim lines can make choosing the right one genuinely confusing

Source Notes / Discrepancies

Source Notes Germany's 5-Star Global NCAP performance sedan built on MQB-A0-IN platform with 150 PS TSI EVO engine, 7-speed DSG, XDS electronic diff lock, 521L boot, and ventilated seats. Sourced from Volkswagen India and Autocar India. Photo check 30 Sep 2026: Volkswagen India's own Virtus and Virtus Chrome pages (volkswagen.co.in) use only lifestyle photography with posed people in every clean shot found (walking past the car, loading shopping, a person holding flowers), which this project's rules exclude from any photo bucket; one people-free lifestyle shot (a dark blue Virtus parked outside a courtyard house) was found and used. No plain studio cut-out could be found on Volkswagen India's site for hero or colour use, so featured_media and colour image ids are left empty. Colours: VW India's own FAQ text directly confirms Candy White, Carbon Steel Grey, Wild Cherry Red and Deep Black Pearl (GT/Chrome); the remaining names in the stored list (Curcuma Yellow, Lava Blue, Rising Blue Metallic, Reflex Silver) were not independently re-confirmed this run but were not contradicted either, so they have been left as-is.
