Volkswagen has taken its popular sedan and given it a bold, sporty twist with the Virtus GT Plus Sport. Starting at Rs 18.99 lakh (ex-showroom), this is the top and most performance-focused version of the Virtus. It is designed for buyers who want a sedan that looks sporty but is still easy to drive every day.
Volkswagen Virtus GT Plus Sport Engine
At the heart of the Virtus GT Plus Sport is a 1.5-litre TSI turbo petrol engine. It produces 150 PS of power and 250 Nm of torque. For new drivers, this means quick acceleration without much effort. The car comes with a choice of a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed DSG automatic gearbox.
The automatic option is smooth and convenient in city traffic. It can go from 0 to 100 km/h in about 9.27 seconds, which makes it one of the quicker sedans in this segment. Another useful feature is Active Cylinder Technology (ACT), which shuts down two cylinders when not needed. This helps improve fuel efficiency, giving around 18-19 kmpl.
Volkswagen Virtus GT Plus Sport Design
The biggest highlight of this variant is its design. Volkswagen has given it a “dark
theme” look. The front grille, headlights, mirrors, and spoiler are all finished in glossy black. It also gets a sporty aero kit, including a front spoiler, side skirts, and rear diffuser. The 16-inch black alloy wheels and red brake calipers add to the sporty feel. Small touches like red GT badges complete the look.
Volkswagen Virtus GT Plus Sport Interior
Inside, the cabin follows the same dark theme. Everything from the roof to the dashboard is finished in black. The seats come with red stitching and GT branding, giving a sporty vibe. The steering wheel also gets red highlights, and there are aluminium pedals, which add to the driving feel.

Small features like rain-sensing wipers and keyless entry make daily driving easier.
Volkswagen Virtus GT Plus Sport Safety
Safety is a strong point here. The Virtus comes with a 5-star Global NCAP safety rating. It includes 6 airbags, Electronic Stability Control, ABS, and multi-collision braking. It also gets hill hold control, tyre pressure warning, and a rearview camera with parking sensors, which help new drivers feel more confident.
Volkswagen Virtus GT Plus Sport Space And Practicality
Even though it is a sporty sedan, it remains practical. It offers a large 521-litre boot, which is useful for family trips. The ground clearance of 179 mm is also good for Indian roads.
The Volkswagen Virtus GT Plus Sport is for those who want a balance of performance and everyday comfort. It looks sporty, drives fast, and still remains easy to use. For buyers who want something more exciting than a regular sedan without making things complicated, this car offers a simple and complete package.
