The Volkswagen Virtus has achieved a major milestone, registering its highest-ever monthly sales of 2,453 units in October 2025. This record performance has helped the Virtus capture an impressive 40% market share in the fiercely competitive mid-size sedan segment, reflecting its strong popularity among Indian buyers.
Launched around 40 months ago, the Virtus has steadily built its reputation as a premium, feature-rich sedan that combines elegant styling with Volkswagen’s renowned German engineering. With its sleek lines, sporty stance, and refined proportions, the Virtus continues to attract young, style-conscious customers who value both sophistication and performance.
The sedan is powered by two turbocharged petrol engines — the 1.0L TSI and the 1.5L TSI EVO. The larger 1.5L unit features Active Cylinder Technology (ACT), which automatically deactivates two cylinders during light-load driving to enhance fuel efficiency, offering a perfect mix of power and economy.
Inside, the Virtus boasts a modern, tech-laden cabin featuring a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system, digital cockpit, ventilated front seats, wireless smartphone connectivity, and a premium sound system. With its segment-best boot space, top safety equipment, and 5-star Global NCAP rating, the Virtus delivers both comfort and peace of mind for families and enthusiasts alike.
Volkswagen’s focus on localisation, strong after-sales service, and its India 2.0 strategy—anchored by the Chakan manufacturing facility and the MQB-A0-IN platform—has further boosted the Virtus’ success by improving affordability and supply efficiency.
A Volkswagen India spokesperson commented,
“The Virtus’ record performance is a testament to the growing trust Indian customers place in Volkswagen. We will continue to offer vehicles that combine safety, innovation, and performance to meet evolving market needs.”
With its record-breaking performance in October 2025, the Virtus not only solidifies its position as Volkswagen’s top-selling sedan in India but also strengthens the brand’s ambitions to be a leading name in the premium compact car space. As 2026 approaches, upcoming product updates and special editions are expected to further drive its momentum and success story.
