Our take on this /// Verdict

The Volkswagen Virtus Sound Edition is a compelling package that blends style, comfort, and performance seamlessly. From my perspective, this sedan stands out with its sleek design that garners attention on the road. The 1.0-litre turbo-petrol TSI engine, though small, delivers impressive power and efficiency, making it a joy to drive, especially with the smooth-shifting manual transmission. The new Sound Edition adds a significant enhancement with its seven-speaker sound system, subwoofer, and amplifier, which elevates the driving experience. However, the rear seat comfort could be improved, particularly for long drives. Overall, the Virtus Sound Edition is a reliable, stylish, and powerful choice for those seeking a premium sedan experience.

Price

The Volkswagen Virtus Sound Edition is priced competitively in the Indian market. The ex-showroom price starts at Rs. 15.52 lakh, making it an attractive option for those looking for a feature-packed sedan. When considering the on-road price, which includes additional costs such as registration, insurance, and other taxes, the figure can range from approximately Rs. 18 lakh to Rs. 20 lakh, depending on the state and local taxes. Given the array of features, including the advanced sound system, special badging, and attractive color schemes, the price seems justified for the quality and performance offered.

This edition also includes aesthetic enhancements like Sound badging on the B-pillar and distinctive equalizer graphics on the C-pillar.

I think this approach ensures that the core performance remains intact while adding a new layer of appeal.
