NCAP 5★

The Virtus is a mature, no-nonsense sedan that prioritises what matters: a willing 148bhp engine, solid 5-star crash protection, and genuine comfort for daily driving. It's not flashy, but it's honest—and in this segment, that's refreshing. Top trims justify the buy with ventilated seats and practical 521-litre boot space.

5-star NCAP + 6 airbagsReal protection, not marketing hype

Stands out

  • 148bhp petrol with 250Nm torque feels adequately responsive for urban and highway use
  • 5-star NCAP rating with 6 airbags provides genuine crash safety confidence
  • Ventilated seats and 521L boot make daily practicality seamless
  • 20.19 km/l efficiency keeps fuel bills reasonable for the segment
  • Starts at ₹10.71 lakh—serious value without obvious corner-cutting

!Gives us pause

  • No sunroof or panoramic glass; cabin feels conventional
  • Zero ADAS features; no autonomous emergency braking or adaptive cruise
  • Single fuel option (petrol only); no diesel or CNG choice
  • Tech suite is basic—4 features is functional, not feature-rich
  • Efficiency score lags peers; thirst is moderate, not class-leading
