Volkswagen Virtus GT and Taigun GT

These cars hold a special place in the hearts of Indian customers, as buyers aren't concerned about the features on offer, practicality, or mileage. The primary reason for choosing these cars is how well they drive and the tremendously responsive engine. That's why, when customers opt for turbo engine variants, they're bypassing the Creta, Seltos, and even the Verna, going straight for these instead.

To add more, this Flash Red colour was also available with the Volkswagen Polo and Vento, and even internationally, this colour has been seen on several iconic cars like the Golf Mk3. Returning to the Virtus and Taigun GT, these are essentially the same cars presented in different body styles. Both are built on the MQB-A0-IN platform, feature the same 1.0L TSI engine producing 115 PS and 178 Nm of torque, and are available with either a 6-MT or 6-AT gearbox.
