Just realised I had never seen this varient up untill now, pretty cool. Feels more analog and dated but still a VW. I'm awaing for my GT EVO to be delivered soon in Black.
Congratulations on your new Virtus. Happy driving.
So do I with electric seats and subwoofer
@@averageindianconsumer I have booked this same GT variant. You mentioned that GT is non EVO engine where as GT Plus is EVO engine. What is the significance of EVO engine ? I see both are both are 1.5 EVO with ACT in internet... is there any difference wrt to engine or gear box in GT and GT plus ? Appreciate your answer
As per my research only differences are the ones which are there in highline and topline. No engine differences. @@ArunkumarUvaraj
@@averageindianconsumer bro i am planning to buy virtus gt soo can u tell me the mileage of the car, if driven for mileage only and i live in surat and there''s mild traffic on weekdays and moderate to sometimes high traffic soo how much mileage the carr will give me in the city in moderate traffic. plzz reply
Your 3:21 issue is real. I am struggling with this in Vento TSI HL Plus AT 2021. Issue is while using one-touch-up.
It’s a safety concern VW doesn’t understand or “does not want to understand. This has been raised directly with VW. Already too much going on with other issues. As per them, the issue is with the way it/button is being operated.
Do take up with them. They will have all the stories to tell you..
At times, when you wish to keep the access restricted, it ends up going down, giving all the access to outside world… Stay Safe, operate very cautiously, at nights and isolated places. Better to move the vehicle ahead and then roll the glass up !
This is 95% localization ! We didn’t have these multiple quality issues in previous VW
Agreed. Thanks
looking forward for further milestone updates
hi, can you make a detailed video of city vs Virtus, as you are previously city owner. and reasons for shifting from Honda to VW. thanks
Thanks for sharing this, brilliant information and very detail oriented.
Few questions.
1. What’s the exact onroad price of the vehicle you got ?
2. I currently own City 2018 SV ivtec manual, I do you compare the interior quality of both
3. At speed 100 and 120 what’s the rpm ?
4. How’s the LED light performance, I read GT has LED (non projector)
With BH number it came out to be 18.5 lac in total
2. Interior quality was better in my honda city, never the less VW offer great quality as well
Yes, they are no projector but works well, haven't faced much off an issue, might upgrade the fog lamp though
Wouldn't there be a need for wire cutting for the sunglass holder upgrade? Also does skoda provides with oem sunglasses holder as an accessory?
Dont think so. Will check and update
No they do not provide it as an accessory
we want more videos of virtus gt ❤❤
It’s a sunglass holder bro🙏
From north???!
Any updates on virtus?
That window sound is in my wagonr as well😂
Hi,
Great review! There is a GPS dongle installed in the OBD port. Has it ever fallen in your car when you go over speed breakers? Mine keeps fallng even after applying 3M tapes. Is there a fix?
Havent faced this issue, you can ask the service advisor to properly use the 3m tape to fix it.
I have faced it multiple times but after first check up the service guy has placed it somewhere else..where?? I dont know😢
Well explained
Thank you. Kindly like, share and subscribe.
I have the exact same variant. please update me on the subwoofer thing… if it’s something vw can provide , would like to get it installed
Kya yeh variant comes in Manual too?
@@Gaurav-rj3zj manual variant wasnt there when i bought it. I dont think they will release a manual variant of highlign GT manual
Please update this thread if we can get the subwoofer installed
@@soumya7695 i checked with VW and it is possible but at 40k which is not really worth it, can rather go for after market for cheaper and better quality
What about front parking sensors and reverse camera? Is it possible to get it upgraded from official Volkswagen?
available in this model, no need to upgrade
Also how are the headlights and the throw on this model? Upgrading them and coding them might turn out to be expensive later.
Headlights are decent, could be better but I have never faced much of an issue
I think one of the biggest cons of VAG cars is that they should have been the ones pioneering 6 airbags for all variants at least after the 2.0 India launch. Instead we have Hyundai taking the lead and others also making this a standard fitment. If VAG cares about safety as much as they talk about it, they should go ahead and implement it fully. Yes the cars have scored 5 stars, but having passive protection makes the package complete.
Absolutely. And with such a powerful motor. It should have been a mandate. Hope they fix this for their upcoming vehicles post the mandate of 6 airbags in all the vehicles being implemented soon, not sure of the timeline.
Nitin gadkari made it mandatory in 2022 end.. and cars take atleast 2 years for refresh.. so those lauching new variants after that got updated ... creta with 3 stars and 2 airbags sells most in mid SUV.. and only now getting an update.. and no update on venue facelift till now.. and for hyundai creta and venue is 40% of sales.. and mahindra also makes safer cars but XUV 700 and scopio n still on 2 airbags for same reason.. a facelift is for 2025 for VW twins..

I'm a little skeptical about the reliability of dsg gearbox. Have heard a lot of bad reviews about it. How is it going for you right now? How much have you driven this and have you faced any issues so far?
It has its fair share of reputation, but if taken well care of, this motor paired with this gearbox is a gem on indian roads, puts a smile every time.
Just make sure to get it services every 10-12 km as opposed to companies claimed 15k, also that extended warranty is a peace of mind
Please share link to buy the paddle shifters red add on piece

Hey man, is there an option that i could upgrade the headlamps of this variant to gt plus one’s, then one with projectors?
Hi, you can buy and upgrade them and then a coding is required for same. the cost for headlamps would be around 40k and coding for another 4-5k
@@averageindianconsumeroh really? Isn’t that really high?
This is the first time im seeing a Virtus GT in this trim i always thought GT was like a spec bump to the top model only. How much did this trim cost you on road price ?
They released this layer but haven’t marketed it well. Even when you are at a dealership they mostly wont talk about it unless you really put a constrain about your requirements. This is the 1.5 tsi dsg varient based on highline varient.
@@averageindianconsumer But he asked on road price also!
@@sanonmars my bad. On road price is 18.9 lakh in Delhi. Excluding extended warranty and service pack.
This model is named GT. GT plus is the top end variant which is marketed and sold more.
Please share tips how you drive dsg in traffic & in ghats road.
during traffic, slot into manual mode and over 15-20 sec stop, put it in neutral.
for ghats, just enjoy the drive in sports mode, unless bad patches
What about AC? Is it really cooling? Bcoz lot of people complaint about AC.
I haven’t faced any issues with the ac. I have heard the same for 1 litre engine but cant confirm the same.
where did you get the front window sunshades from?
I got it from Skoda service centre in Gurgaon, near 32nd milestone. It was worth 1200 for the pair.
Are the dimensions same ?
yes@@paarthbhardwaj3961
How does the analog cluster show when the engine is in 2 cylinder mode?
I have posted a small reel on my page of a mileage run, you can check that out

Hi,
You are refering to the 5th Gen Honda city? or older version?
4th gen.
Just want to know … why not Slavia ?
2. Windows motor is still noisy or solved
3. break calipers look oily even after cleaning frequently
4.If you have drive Slavia , have you feel slightly softer steering?
4
1. Slavia is a great car and the gearbox is tuned slightly better, but VW with its aggressive looks, 10 inch touch screen. I went ahead with this.
Slavia has a slightly softer suspension setup, the steering wheel almost felt the same. Once again both are great cars, it comes down to personal preference on looks and interior mostly.
Window motor is not great in either of the cars. I haven't noticed the oily brake caliper. Definitely a lot of break dust but not oily.
brother where did you got the window shades???
the rear ones are from vw dealership and the front ones are from skoda dealership, used for slavia
ok brother thank you@@averageindianconsumer
Planning to buy the same variant soon. But seems dealers are encouraging to buy GT plus.
they will do that, just stick to this one, even push for some discount- mostly during the month end, they need to meet their targets
@@averageindianconsumer Yeah…finally booked the same GT Variant with 6 Airbags (new model).
Hay bro i am planning to go for virtus gt plus manual (topline gt)
But little confused now between your highline gt dsg or topline gt manual
Can you please guide me
I was confused between the same.
Fun to drive and most reliable- Manual GT
Traffic + Highway (50/50) Auto GT
City Driving- 1 Litre
Traffic + Highway (20/80) GT manual
The GT based on highline varient is value for money.
Rest it all depends on what is your driving routine like.
Bhaiya is there any difficulties taking BH number? I will be moving to gurgown and planning to buy same car with BH number. Please advise.
None that i have faced as of now. There would be some challenges while reselling. But i am hoping that in 3-4 years the process would get much better.
Make more video bro
Is lava blue available for this version ?
yes, but has a long waiting of over 3 months
Getting 28 kmpl on relaxed late night drives.
The magic of ACT. German tech at its best. Happy driving
Does this have an auto dimming IRVM ?
unfortunately no, but trying to find a solution for that
If you get skoda pocket please youtube shorts or video
6 airbags are default feature in VIRTUS .........right?
no, only on the top end varient
wait what? I don't see this model on their website either!
Its there on their website
What was the on road price for this ?
Since the car was registered under BH series I got it at 17.2 lakh, normally it would have costed me around 18.7 lakh with DL registration including discounts
@@averageindianconsumer thanks
@@averageindianconsumerhow did you get BH plate
@@nitishvakula2462i work in a private company that is present in more than 4 states and require me to constantly travel. You need a signed letter head for same.
Does this variant come in manual?
Yes
@@ani625 Are you sure? Last time I checked it was in DSG only and The manual comes in GT plus variant only!
Not sure actually. But we were told it's available, when we took the test drive (of AT).
This manual is available only on the gt plus varient. If you’re looking for manual with 1.5 tsi, you can check slavia. It comes with a manual transmission in the mid varient (ambition)
its nitpicking, not netpicking
Biggest bummer for me is that this variant misses out on 6 airbags. Otherwise a great buy.
absolutely. this was my biggest concern.
@@averageindianconsumerany regrets not going for the plus or happy with this variant?
Kitna ki Puri tank fill hoti h bhai iski
45 liter ki tank hai, so around 4550 @101 per liter/ xp 95 in Delhi
What’s the variant ?
1.5 TSI Dsg based on highline. Its the non evo GT varient
@@averageindianconsumer tq❤️
@@averageindianconsumer Bro non evo GT variant means ? I seem both are 1.5 evo with ACT in internet in all sites... Does it make much difference ?
Wrote it bymistake, both are same except the one is based on highline and the other is based on Topline, everything with respect to engine and gearbox is same on 1.5 L@@ArunkumarUvaraj
It's not Gt .. it's modified Gt badge , spoiler
even the dual tip exhaust? 0:25
Yours is an evo engine. There are only 2 variants of the engine.
Ye dsg nahi torque converter hai complete misinformation 6 speed
Bro this is 1 litre engine, 1.5 mai hi gt plus hota hai why giving misinformation

please go through their website, they have GT model in highline variant available.
Simply waste of money 🤑
Why?
