  • 1.5L TSI EVO: 148 PS power, 250 Nm torque – delivers quick acceleration and highway confidence, plus Active Cylinder Deactivation for better mileage

Both offer smooth gear shifts, whether you're on the 6-speed manual, automatic, or 7-speed DSG (on the 1.5L).


Interior Features: Premium Feel Without Going Overboard

The Virtus has all the modern touches you'd expect in a sedan above NPR 50 lakh:

  • 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Android Auto & Apple CarPlay

  • 8-inch fully digital instrument cluster

  • Sunroof, wireless charger, and ventilated front seats

  • 8-speaker surround sound system

  • Ample 521-litre boot space

It’s clean, uncluttered, and surprisingly upscale for its class.


5-Star Safety Rated Sedan in Nepal

The Virtus isn’t just about looks. It’s also built to protect.

  • 5-Star Global NCAP crash test rating

  • 6 airbags (in top trims)

  • Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

  • Hill Hold Control

  • ISOFIX child seat mounts

  • Multicollision braking

These safety features are standard or available, depending on the trim level.


Virtus vs. The Competition in Nepal

Here's how the Virtus stacks up against rivals like the Honda City and Skoda Slavia:

Feature Virtus Honda City Skoda Slavia
Engine 1.0L / 1.5L Turbo 1.5L i-VTEC 1.0L / 1.5L TSI
Safety Rating 5-Star Global NCAP Not tested (new gen) 5-Star Global NCAP
Infotainment 10" Touchscreen 8" Touchscreen 10" Touchscreen
Performance Trim GT Plus (1.5 TSI) City RS e:HEV Slavia 1.5 TSI

Verdict: The Virtus sits between the Skoda and Honda in terms of price, but edges ahead with its clean interior design, better feature spread, and impressive ride quality.


Availability in Nepal

The Volkswagen Virtus is now available for test drive and booking at all Puja International Nepal showrooms. It was unveiled officially at the NAIMA Mobility Expo 2025, held at Bhrikutimandap, Kathmandu from August 6–10.


Is the Virtus Worth It?

If you're looking for a sedan that feels solid, looks sharp, and doesn’t skimp on features or safety, the Volkswagen Virtus should be on your radar. It’s not the cheapest in the segment, but you’re paying for German-level engineering, a 5-star safety rating, and a refined drive.

For those tired of the same old Japanese sedans, the Virtus brings something genuinely refreshing to Nepal’s streets.
