  • Volkswagen Virtus 2022 tested with both the 1.0 TSI and 1.5 TSI in the GT trim. Taking styling cues from the Jetta, the 2022 Virtus looks fantastic and with the MQB-A0-IN platform along with powerful TSI engines the performance and dynamics are also top of the class. Can the VW Virtus GT revive interest in sedans? We definitely hope so!

    VW has done great work with Virtus and it will prove out to be the segment benchmark. 1.5 DSG has everything working for it, be the styling or the performance or the equipment levels. Although I bought a Taigun 6 months back, this is tugging my heart strongly and would definitely want to own one😀

    Hi sirish. I really need your help here.
    Which one to go for. Slavia 1.5 or Virtus 1.5 GT.?
    I like the virtus sporty looks. Don't like the AC vents though. Slavia looks more elegant and dash looks more premium to me. I don't want door rattling noise in the long term. Initially taigun had those issues. Please guide me through this one.

    Absolutely agree, the car looks good, however, the more-than-required ground clearance and back-heavy looking stance is not VW'ish and definitely not the Euro car look. Just these two things tease you when you are looking at this car as a VW. C'mon, if VW want to give their customers a vehicle with high ground clearence, the Taigun is already there!

    I’ve checked out the new Taigun personally and was very disappointed with it’s sheet quality and metal strength. There is no more “thud” when you close the doors. When tapping it’s sheet, it just didn’t feel solid and I felt like it was a Maruti or a Hyundai.
    Keeping fingers crossed for Virtus. Hope the build and sheet quality aren’t compromised on this.
