Given the limited options in this niche, the German marque is not going to lag behind the traditional compact sedan segment. Until yesterday, it had the Vento in its entry-level sedan segment, but it had started to show its age, and with rivals updating many elements of its car to consolidate its position in the market, Volkswagen has introduced its Decided to completely revise the strategy. India 2.0 program. Volkswagen Virtue The sedan is based on the same MQB-A0-IN platform that underpins not only the Volkswagen Taigun but also forms the basis for the koda Kushak and koda Slavia sedans. You will also be surprised to know that the Vertus is the facelifted version of the car available in the global market and India is the first to get it. And hence, the spiritual successor of the Volkswagen Vento bears many similarities with its Skoda sibling in terms of design, cabin, features and even powertrain options.

Volkswagen Virtue
Volkswagen Virtue exterior design:
We’ll start with the design, which is usually Volkswagen, to begin with. The front section gets a single slat grille with chrome surround, which pairs beautifully with the LED headlamps, while the L-shaped LED DRLs add to the sporty appeal of the car. The Vertas do their part and make the car bigger, wrapped in this beautiful Wild Cherry Red, which is actually the tallest and widest in the segment. The sharp and pointed design has been retained at the bottom of the fascia as well as the wide air dams, and the styling of the fog lamps gives the car a unique look. As is typical for the Volkswagen Group, you get GT badging on the front fenders, hinting at its GT trims, while the Dynamic misses it out.
The Volkswagen Vertus is the longest and widest in the segment.
The sleek look is continued in the profile with the sloping roofline and a strong character line covering the length of the sedan. The 16-inch alloy wheels complement the overall stance of the car and add a certain sensuality to its character. Chrome inserts for the door handles, contrast black ORVMs and roof complete the profile while wrap-around LED taillights, vertical lettering on the boot-lid and a boot-mounted number plate recess cover the rear of the car. Overall, we like the way Volkswagen has given the Vertus its unique character without taking the usual route of copying what its sibling has.
Volkswagen Virtue Interior decoration:
The interior of the Volkswagen Vertus is a little more appealing to our eyes than any other car in the segment, and the styling certainly speaks for it. The black and beige looks pleasing but it is the red highlights spread across the width of the dashboard that take it away for the Vertus. However it is limited to the GT Line in this specific color scheme.
