▼Volkswagen India has launched the new Volkswagen Virtus Anniversary Edition to celebrate its premium sedan lineup. Priced at Rs 19.20 lakh ex-showroom, this limited-run model is based on the top-spec GT Plus Sport variant. Available strictly with the 1.5-litre TSI engine and an automatic gearbox, it brings an exclusive new exterior finish and enhanced sporty appeal to dealerships nationwide.
Striking New Exterior Design
The most distinctive element of the Volkswagen Virtus Anniversary Edition is its exterior styling. The car debuts a stunning Avocado Pearl colour paired with a contrasting black roof and black alloy wheels. This unique combination gives the sedan a more distinctive look that easily sets it apart from the standard GT Plus Sport trim. Interestingly, this green and black theme echoes a similar move by Skoda, which recently introduced a dual-tone Shimla Green shade for the Slavia sedan Monte Carlo variant.
Premium Cabin and Features
Inside, the Volkswagen Virtus Anniversary Edition retains all the premium features found in the standard GT Plus Sport variant. Buyers looking to further personalise their vehicle can also opt for official Volkswagen accessories fitted directly at the dealership for both this sedan and the Taigun SUV.
