Our take on this /// Verdict

The Volkswagen Virtus Highline AT is a compelling package in the mid-size sedan segment, offering a blend of style, comfort, and performance. From my perspective, this car stands out with its sleek design that grabs attention, and the 1.0-liter turbo engine is both efficient and powerful. The cabin feels roomy and premium, with features like wireless charging, a 10.1-inch touchscreen system, and smart key access with push-button start, which enhance the overall driving experience. The ride quality is excellent, with great stability, although the low ground clearance can be a bit of a headache on Indias patchy roads. The safety features, including a 5-star Global NCAP rating, add to the cars appeal. However, the rear seats could be more comfortable for long drives, and the maintenance costs are slightly higher than expected. Overall, the Virtus Highline AT is a reliable, stylish sedan with good driving dynamics, making it a strong contender in its class.

Price

The Volkswagen Virtus Highline AT is priced at Rs 14.88 lakh (ex-showroom) in New Delhi. When you factor in the on-road costs, including taxes and other expenses, the price can go up to around Rs 17-18 lakh, depending on the state and local taxes. From my perspective, this pricing is competitive given the features and performance it offers. For instance, it competes directly with the Skoda Slavia 1.0L Signature AT, Hyundai Verna SX IVT, and Honda City VX CVT, all of which are priced similarly. The value-for-money proposition here is strong, considering the premium feel, advanced safety features, and the powerful yet efficient engine.

Latest Updates

Sunday, 27 October 2024 09:54 AM Volkswagen has introduced the new Highline Plus variant of the Virtus, which is available with both automatic and manual transmission options. The Virtus Highline Plus AT is priced at Rs. 14.98 lakh, which is Rs. 86,000 more than the lower Highline variant. This new trim includes features like an 8.0-inch digital driver’s display, 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and an electric sunroof. I think these additions make the Virtus Highline Plus a compelling option in its segment.

Tuesday, 08 October 2024 04:58 PM A recent owner review of the Volkswagen Virtus 1.0L Highline AT highlighted some pros and cons. The owner praised the cars handling, steering, and interior features but noted issues like brake noise, vibrations felt on the front centre armrest, and inconsistent auto start/stop system behavior. Despite these flaws, the owner found the car to be value for money. I believe that addressing these issues could further improve the cars appeal.

Friday, 04 October 2024 05:58 AM The Virtus Highline Plus variant is powered by a 1.0-litre TSI turbocharged petrol engine, producing 114 bhp and 178 Nm of torque. This engine is paired with a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox. The Highline Plus trim also includes features such as auto-dimming IRVM, keyless entry with push-button start/stop, and rain-sensing wipers. These features enhance the overall driving experience and convenience.

Sunday, 15 September 2024 05:39 PM Volkswagen has rearranged the variant lineup of the Virtus, introducing new trims like the GT Line and GT Plus Sport, while removing older variants. The Highline Plus variant now sits between the Highline and Topline trims, offering a balanced mix of features and price. This move aims to provide more options for buyers seeking specific features without breaking the bank.

Tuesday, 20 August 2024 07:18 AM The Virtus Highline Plus AT comes with several convenience features, including an electric sunroof, auto headlamps, and rain-sensing wipers. These features, along with the 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system and wireless phone charger, make the car more appealing to buyers looking for a premium feel without the top-end price tag. I think these features are well worth the slight price increase over the standard Highline variant.

Thursday, 25 July 2024 06:47 AM Volkswagen has emphasized the value proposition of the Virtus Highline Plus, positioning it as a mid-range option that offers more features than the standard Highline but at a lower cost than the Topline. This strategy aims to attract buyers who want a balance of features and affordability. I believe this approach could help Volkswagen capture a larger market share in the segment.

Saturday, 15 June 2024 07:16 PM The safety features of the Virtus Highline Plus include six airbags, electronic stability control (ESC), and a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS). These safety features are standard across the Highline Plus variants, ensuring that buyers get a well-rounded package. I think prioritizing safety is a wise move by Volkswagen.

Monday, 20 May 2024 02:21 AM The interior of the Virtus Highline Plus AT features an all-black cabin with premium touches like black leatherette upholstery and aluminium pedals. The car also includes front ventilated seats and electrically adjustable front seats in the higher GT Plus Sport variant, though these are not standard in the Highline Plus. I believe the interior design is a strong point for the Virtus.

Wednesday, 10 April 2024 12:04 AM Volkswagen has noted that the Virtus Highline Plus is designed to cater to buyers seeking affordable luxury.
