Our take on this /// Verdict

The Volkswagen Virtus Highline MT is a compelling package for those who enjoy the engagement of a manual transmission. The 1.0 TSI engine, despite being a 3-cylinder unit, delivers impressive performance with minimal lag and a refined driving experience. The smooth-shifting five-speed manual gearbox and progressive clutch make it a joy to drive, both in city traffic and on the highways. However, the Highline variant lacks some of the premium features found in the Topline model, such as the virtual cockpit and ventilated seats. Nonetheless, it offers a great balance of comfort, performance, and practicality, making it a solid choice for those seeking a fun-to-drive sedan without breaking the bank.

Price

In India, the Volkswagen Virtus Highline MT is priced competitively. The ex-showroom price for this variant typically ranges around 15-16 lakhs, depending on the location and any local taxes. On-road prices, including registration, insurance, and other costs, can go up to around 18-19 lakhs. This pricing makes the Virtus Highline MT an attractive option in the mid-size sedan segment, offering a blend of performance, features, and value for money. The price difference between the Highline and Topline variants is significant enough to make the Highline a more affordable yet still well-equipped choice.
