Volkswagen Virtus Mileage
₹10.71 Lakh to ₹19.20 Lakhex-showroom
The Virtus stays reasonably frugal for a turbo petrol sedan. The 1.0 TSI manual leads at 20.08 kmpl, the 1.5 TSI DSG follows at 19.62 kmpl, and the 1.0 TSI automatic reads 18.45 kmpl. Heavy traffic, hard acceleration and constant air conditioning will pull real figures lower. Match each Virtus trim to its engine to gauge running cost.
