Reliable predictable and consistent performance

I drove this car to Badrinath , Really enjoy the driving it's movability and engine is really very smooth Very good car If you drive between 60 to 70 km/h We get average 20++ AC is very effective

Simply speaking Best on Road Sedan

Driving the Virtus approx 300 kilometres It didn't let us feel the journey was hectic A value-for-money car for family, Friends, And on Road presentation As compared to close Rivals virtue is much far from competing in any of the norms required The best thing is the build quality even the Base model is tremendously Very Good Wow, Volkswagen.
