Features & Technology
Some of the highlights include:
- A large touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay / Android Auto.
- Digital instrument cluster (“digital cockpit”).
- Premium features in higher trims: electric sunroof, ventilated front seats, ambient lighting, cooled glove-box.
- Strong safety suite: The Virtus has achieved a 5-star rating in the updated Global NCAP crash tests for both adult & child occupant protection.
- Over 40 active & passive safety features, including ESC (Electronic Stability Control), hill-hold, multi-collision brake, ISOFIX mounts, tyre pressure monitoring, etc.
Pricing (India)
According to one source, the on-road pricing in Delhi ranges approximately ₹12.21 lakh to ~₹22.56 lakh depending on variant and specification.
Earlier launch pricing started around ₹11.21 lakh (ex-showroom) for base 1.0 L TSI variant.
What’s Good & What to Watch
Strengths:
- Excellent value in its class for space + features + safety.
- Large boot (521 L) which is more than many rivals.
- Strong build & safety credentials (5-star Global NCAP).
- Premium feel cabin and modern turbo engines that offer spirited performance in the 1.5 L TSI variant.
Considerations / Limitations:
- Fuel efficiency in real-world for turbo engines may fall short of claimed numbers if driven aggressively.
- Higher trims (with DSG/DSG & turbo) may cost significantly more; service/maintenance costs might also be higher.
- Trim & variant selection critical — the base engine (1.0 L TSI) is less powerful but more economical; the 1.5 L TSI gives more performance but with cost/complexity trade-offs.
- Features: check for which features are in which variant (sunroof, ventilated seats, etc) — lower trims may omit some premium items.
If you like, I can pull together a variant-wise specification sheet (for each trim: Comfortline, Highline, Topline, GT Plus) of the Virtus, comparing engines, gearboxes, feature lists and price. Would you like that?
