Volkswagen Virtus review: what owners and experts say

Handling

Strongly positivebased on 12 reviews

“179 millimeters of ground clearance... you wouldn't be wrong to think it would be quite roly-poly in the corners, the good news is it isn't - it changes direction with a good amount of poise and lets you hold speed with great confidence.”

Highway stability

Strongly positivebased on 7 reviews

“Iski top speed 204 pe lock kari hui hai, 203-204... maine utni touch kari hui hai, 200 plus le ke gaye ho gaadi ko aur planted laga hai ki gaadi chipak ke chal rahi hai.”

Boot space

Strongly positivebased on 5 reviews

“A massive highlight of this car is the boot which at a class leading 521 liters... can really swallow up a lot of luggage, and if you need more still you can even split fold the rear seats.”

Ground clearance

Strongly positivebased on 5 reviews

“Ek cheez mere ko iski SUV se bhi zyada acchi lagi, iski ground clearance bahut sahi hai, matlab mere ko kahin pe bhi aisa laga nahi ki kahin pe bhi bhid jaayegi neeche se, main bahut hi easily chala sakta hoon kahin pe bhi.”

Highway overtaking

Strongly positivebased on 5 reviews

“148 horsepower in a car this size means you don't have to plan your overtakes two business days in advance. You see a gap, you flex your right foot gently, and the Virtus just sorts it out.”

Seat comfort

Strongly positivebased on 11 reviews

“Maine isko approx 600 km kiya tha, continuous drive kiya tha... seats bilkul comfortable thi, koi mujhe issue aisa kuch nahi aaya ki main thak gaya hoon.”

Parking camera & sensors

Strongly negativebased on 6 reviews

“Inka back camera aap bhi jaante hain... aap 14-15 lakh is gaadi ko de rahe ho, 20 lakh tak jaati hai gaadi top model mein to us basis pe... pata nahi kya cost cutting kari hai company ne.”

Fit & finish

Generally negativebased on 13 reviews

“Thoda sa noise hai gaadi mein iske center console se, thoda door se... rattling noise aati hai isme, to woh mere ko thoda bother karti hai... bearable hai itna bhi issue nahi hai.”

Dashboard layout

Generally negativebased on 8 reviews

“These touch AC controls are sometimes an absolute unforgivable -- using them while on the move is an absolute nightmare, it's very unpredictable. Nothing beats a good old-fashioned clickety AC knob.”

Rear seat space

Mixed reviewsbased on 8 reviews

“Peeche rear mein aap teen jane aasani se nahi baith paate... haan ye five-seater nahi hai, proper four-seater hi hai ye car.”
