Volkswagen Virtus GT
At long last interest is back in the ‘car’, the D-segment sedan that had all but given up the battle in the face of the SUV onslaught. The Skoda Slavia rekindled interest, followed by the segment leader Honda retaliating with the hybrid City, and now we have the volkswagen Virtus GT riffing off the Jetta’s styling to go to the top of the charts as far as visual appeal is concerned. Of course styling is a very personal thing but there’s no question that the Virtus looks fantastic, particularly in the GT’s shade of (wild cherry) red that contrasts brilliantly with the blacked-out elements.
Similar to the Taigun, VW have very cleverly differentiated the 1.5 TSI from the 1.0 TSI, the former available only in the volkswagen Virtus GT variant with its subtle styling tweaks. And with lessons learnt from the Taigun GT, the volkswagen Virtus GT will only be available with the DSG gearbox, no manual here.
Based on the MQB-A0-IN platform which is also shared with the Taigun and Kushaq mid-SUVs, the Virtus is the sister car to the Slavia running the same underpinnings. You get the same 2651mm wheelbase which is the most generous in this class along with the same 4561mm overall length and 1752mm width. And just like the Taigun and Kushaq twins are only differentiated by their front and rear end styling, so too the Virtus and Slavia are identical in profile including the over-large gap in the wheel arches.
Thanks though to the visual trick of painting the volkswagen Virtus GT wheels black, this kind of masks the wheel arch gaps and makes the Virtus look more proportionate that its twin.
The volkswagen Virtus GT is clearly inspired by the Jetta’s face and it has that typical Volkswagen-ness in the crisp, sharp lines that flow into the strong shoulder lines. The narrow and blacked-out grille is framed by chrome strips that run into the headlamps to form the LED DRL signature, the overall effect being to visually widen the car.
The air dam is massive, finished in gloss black and defined by a thick chrome strip that runs along the bottom lip. Similar to the Taigun, there’s plenty of chrome on the Virtus too but here it doesn’t look overdone and the deliberate lack of over-the-top detailing along with the strength in the character lines gives it a similar timelessness that stood the Polo in such good stead over its enormous 12 year lifespan.
Details unique to the volkswagen Virtus GT include the badge on the front fender, blacked-out 16-inch wheels (of a similar design to the other variants), black roof and tiny little boot spoiler. The taillamp design also reminds you of the Jetta, though there’s Virtus written big and bold on the boot to correct that impression. And similar to the Slavia there’s chrome detailing on the bottom of the bumper and no exhaust cutouts, despite the 1.5 actually having twin exhaust tips that are almost apologetically hidden away under the bumper.
That’s how Volkswagen are differentiating the 1.0 TSI from the 1.5 TSI. The Dynamic line is also available in the fully-loaded Topline trim and the only real visual differentiator is the removal of the boot spoiler and blacked out elements on the exterior, while the black seats of the GT are replaced by a lighter trim and the red of the digital cockpit is replaced with light blue. Otherwise in terms of equipment the 1.0 TSI can be had with everything that the 1.5 TSI has, including paddle shifters for the automatic gearboxes.
All the praise we’ve showered on the 1.5 TSI engine in the past holds true for the volkswagen Virtus GT; if anything the proportions and dynamics of a proper ‘car’ only serve to enhance the pleasure of this motor. The 4-cylinder engine is beautifully refined with nary a murmur at idle but taking on a nice sporty tone when you floor it. With 148bhp on tap you get a 0-100kmph time well under 10 seconds while the 250Nm of torque makes it effortless at cruising down highways; there’s always sufficient grunt in reserve to make quick overtakes.
Complete with auto start-stop and cylinder deactivation (that switches into 2-cylinder mode when you don’t need all the power) this is an efficient engine, delivering 18.67kmpl on the ARAI test cycle. This compares very favourably with the Honda City i-VTEC’s 18.4kmpl though it is nowhere close to the City Hybrid’s 26.5kmpl.
