VW Virtus Anniversary Edition launched

Volkswagen has launched the Anniversary Edition of the Virtus sedan at Rs 19.20 lakh (ex-showroom, India). It arrives about four years after the model was first introduced in the Indian market. The Virtus Anniversary Edition is based on the sedan’s top-spec GT Plus Sport trim, so it shares several of its visual aesthetics and feature set. The price of the Anniversary Edition is identical to the trim it is based on, despite offering additional equipment.

  2. Finished in an exclusive Avocado Pearl colour
  3. Features puddle lamps, 360-degree cameras, front parking sensors and more
  4. Only available with the 1.5 TSI engine and DSG gearbox

Other shared design features include a gloss-black front bumper trim, darkened headlamps and tail-lamps housings, an all-black interior theme with gloss-black inserts on the dashboard.

On the equipment front, the Virtus Anniversary Edition is offered with official Volkswagen accessories like puddle lamps, a 360-degree camera system and front parking sensors. Since it’s based on the fully loaded GT Plus Sport trim, the Anniversary Edition shares all of its other feature set too. This includes the likes of leatherette upholstery, red ambient lighting, ventilated front seats, a powered sunroof, a 10-inch touch-infotainment screen, automatic climate control, an 8-speaker audio system and paddle shifters.

Safety features of the limited-run Virtus Anniversary Edition are also familiar. This means that it gets 6 airbags, electronic stability control, traction control, hill-start assist, and ABS with EBD, among others.

Under the bonnet of the Volkswagen Virtus Anniversary Edition is the same 1.5 TSI engine and 7-speed DSG (dual-clutch automatic) gearbox. This 1.5-litre four-cylinder turbo-petrol mill features direct injection, developing 150hp and 250Nm of torque. This engine and gearbox pairing has a claimed fuel economy of 19.62kpl. Meanwhile, the standard Virtus is also available with a 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbo-petrol engine with direct injection, which makes 115hp and 178Nm.
