2022 Volkswagen Virtus - First Look | City and Slavia will be challenged
10 Mar, 2022
The German automaker has finally unveiled its all-new Volkswagen Virtus mid-size sedan in India. The model comes as a replacement to the aging VW Vento. Its India launch is slated to happen in May 2022. Volkswagen’s claim of the Virtus being the ‘longest’ sedan in its class isn’t particularly obvious at first glance. The difference is a mere 20mm compared to the Slavia, and a negligible 12mm compared to the Honda City.
It will compete against the likes of Maruti Suzuki Ciaz, Hyundai Verna, Honda City in the mid-size sedan category and is expected to be priced between Rs 10- Rs 17 lakh. It will replace the VW Vento as the company's mass sedan offering in India.
