The new teaser shared by Volkswagen India does reveal key details and features of the upcoming Virtus sedan. A few notable elements of the model include L-shaped LED DRLs, LED headlamps, a sleek grille with chrome surrounds and thr GT Line badging, a large chrome insert for the front bumper, contrast coloured ORVMs and roof, and a shark-fin antenna.

Elsewhere, we expect the upcoming Volkswagen Virtus to get LED fog lights, a wide air dam, a set of new alloy wheels, a blacked-out B-pillar, wrap-around LED tail lights, and a boot-mounted number plate holder.

Inside, the Volkswagen Virtus could come equipped with a large touchscreen infotainment system, an electric sunroof, ventilated front seats, A-pillar mounted tweeters, brushed aluminium inserts, a leather-wrapped multi-function steering wheel, automatic climate control, and a fully-digital instrument console. Powering the model is likely to be a set of 1.0 and 1.5-litre TSI petrol engines paired with manual and automatic transmissions.
