Volkswagen has finally launched its much-awaited mid-size sedan, the Virtus. With the launch of the Virtus, it will be interesting to see what the modding community will do with the sedan considering that Volkswagen cars are loved by everyone for their ease of being modified. Now, Kbtyres from Ludhiana has fitted a Virtus with 18-inch Victor wheels which surely look massive on the car! The Virtus fitted with these rims is the GT variant with red brake calipers and it is colored in the Carbon Steel shade. However, fitting such large rims on the sedan will definitely affect its dynamic capabilities.

The Virtus claims to be the biggest mid-size sedan that you can buy today. It measures  4,651 mm in length, 1,507 mm in height, and 1,752mm in width. The wheelbase is 2651 mm which is the best-in-class and similar to the Skoda Slavia. The Virtus features a clean and understated design that we have come to see in other Volkswagen cars. The front features a thin grille with chrome outlines on the top and bottom. The chrome lines merge into the LED DRLs of the LED headlights which form a C-shape.

The Virtus gets dual-tone black and beige interiors. The overall layout is typically Volkswagen with clean lines. You will notice a lot of parts shared with the Taigun SUV such as the multifunction steering wheel, the door handles, the touch-sensitive climate control unit, and the gear knob. The GT variant adds a red panel on the dash and door panels just like the Taigun. Other additions in the GT variant include aluminum pedals, red ambient lighting, and red stitching on the seats. The Virtus comes with two petrol engines which come with idle start/stop technology.

The turbocharged 1.0-liter 3-cylinder TSI engine produces 115hp and 178 Nm of torque mated to a 6-speed manual and 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission. The more powerful engine found in the GT variant is the turbocharged 1.5-liter 4-cylinder TSI engine which produces 150hp and 250 Nm of torque mated to a 6-speed manual or 7-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic transmission. This engine also comes with cylinder deactivation technology.
