All-New Volkswagen Virtus: Variant Wise Pricing

VW is offering the Virtus in Dynamic Line and the Performance Line. The former is offered with only a 1.0-litre TSI motor mated to either a manual or an automatic gearbox, while the latter gets only an automatic transmission with the more powerful 1.5-litre TSI engine. 

The Dynamic Line is further divided into Comfortline, Highline and Topline. The base trim is priced at Rs 11.22 lakh (ex-showroom) while the top-spec trim level with the automatic gearbox comes in at Rs 15.72 lakh (ex-showroom). 

Contrary to the Dynamic Line, the Performance Line is only available in a single GT Plus trim that will set you back by Rs 17.92 lakh (ex-showroom).

Highlights of the four-wheeler's cabin include an 8-inch digital instrument cluster and a 10-inch touch screen infotainment unit that comes mated to a 8 speaker sound system.
