The Vento replacement (VW Virtus) will be the premium mid-size sedan that is slated to launch around the festive season this year. Here is a great design rendition of the Slavia-based sedan.
Virtus is the name that is likely to be the replacement for the VW Vento in our market this year. The launch might take place around the festive season if the semiconductor supply shortage permits. Based on the MQB A0 IN platform, the Virtus has been spotted testing multiple times on our roads already. These renditions have been designed by Kleber Silva. Let us check out what these digital illustrations represent.

VW Virtus (Vento Replacement)
This VW Virtus doesn’t look too different from the regular Vento that is currently on sale in our market. However, the overall silhouette is a bit sharper, modern and sleeker. The front end features the LED DRLs connected by a chrome belt, LED headlamps, fog lamps housing with a chrome housing, sleek bumper and clear bonnet line. The side profile is defined by the sharp crease starting at the front fender flowing all the way to the rear. The alloy wheels are modern and smart with a chrome belt running beneath the window line. The A, B and C-pillars are blacked-out and the rear has the shark fin antenna. There is an integrated spoiler on the boot lip too with a chrome finish on the lower half of the rear bumper, split-LED taillamps and a sculpted boot lid. This version of the Virtus sure looks modern while staying true to the VW design language.

The VW Virtus will come powered by a 1.0-litre TSI and a 1.5-litre TSI EVO engine. The smaller engine outputs a maximum power of 115PS and a peak torque of 175Nm, while the larger unit offers a maximum power of 150PS and a peak torque of 250Nm.
