Volkswagen India recently introduced the Virtus GT Line and Virtus GT Plus in India, starting at ₹14.07 lakh (ex-showroom) and INR 17.84 lakh, respectively. In addition, the company has launched the Highline Plus variant to the Virtus and Taigun lineups, as well as a new feature package for the Taigun GT Line.
The Volkswagen Virtus GT Line and Virtus GT Plus get several cosmetic and interior changes, much like its SUV sibling. Smoked headlights are one of the external changes, although they are still LED units.
The interior comes with aluminum pedals, black headliner, black leatherette upholstery with red stitching and GT badging on the front headrests. The dashboard is coated in gloss black. In addition, there is a blacked-out roof light housing, sun visors and a Sport steering wheel with red stitching.
The Volkswagen Virtus GT Line will be powered by a 1.0-litre TSI engine, while the 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine will power the Virtus GT Plus Sport. While the latter produces 113 bhp and 178 Nm, the former generates 148 bhp and 250 Nm. A 6-speed manual gearbox is standard equipment for both engines.
In addition to introducing the GT Line and GT Plus trim levels, Volkswagen has expanded the Virtus and Taigun lineup to include the Highline Plus trim level. Priced at ₹14.26 lakh and ₹13.87 lakh, respectively, the new Highline Plus model will be powered by the 1.0l TSI petrol engine for both the Taigun and Virtus.
