Volkswagen is all set to refresh its popular mid-size sedan, the Virtus, with a new facelift. It is expected to arrive by the end of 2025 or early 2026.

Volkswagen Virtus Facelift - Stylish Cosmetic Updates

The facelifted Virtus will retain its sharp and modern design, but subtle changes will help distinguish it from the current model.

Expect a revised front grille, tweaked LED headlights, new bumpers, and updated LED tail lamps for Virtus facelift. Volkswagen is also likely to introduce new alloy wheel designs to give this sedan a fresher look while keeping the overall side profile largely unchanged.

Major Interior Upgrades

Inside the cabin, the new Virtus facelift is expected to receive upgraded upholstery and a revised color scheme for a more premium feel.

One of the biggest highlights of the upcoming update will be the inclusion of a panoramic sunroof, a feature increasingly demanded by Indian car buyers.

The sedan will also feature ADAS Level 2, making it one of the more tech-forward offerings in the segment.

No Change in Engine Options

Volkswagen is expected to retain the existing powertrain options for the Virtus facelift. It will continue to offer:

1.0-litre turbo-petrol with 115 bhp and 178 Nm
1.5-litre turbo-petrol with 150 bhp and 250 Nm

These engines are already known for their performance and efficiency and are expected to remain unchanged in the updated model.

Volkswagen’s Comeback Strategy in India

With growing competition and fewer models on sale, Volkswagen plans to refresh its lineup in India. The Virtus and Taigun facelifts are part of this new strategy to stay strong in the mid-size sedan and SUV markets.
