During Volkswagen’s annual general meeting in May this year, the carmaker revealed a timeline of new models that it is planning to unveil this year. Among them is the new Virtus, which will replace the Vento as the next generation of the Polo Sedan, when it debuts later in November.
These renders should give us some idea what the Virtus might look like, where we see cues from the latest Jetta (taillights) and Passat (tailgate) being grafted onto the elongated body of the Mk6 Polo hatchback. Good-looking or the exact opposite, that’s for you to decide.
The Virtus will likely ride on the same modular MQB A0 platform used by the Polo and Seat Ibiza, which sees a longer wheelbase than before (2,564 mm on the Polo Mk6). Engine options should include a range of petrol TSI and diesel TDI units, with five/six-speed manuals and a seven-speed dual-clutch DSG.
If the new Polo is any indication, the Virtus will be equipped with the latest technologies like the brand’s second-generation Active Info Display, a widescreen-format touchscreen infotainment system, Adaptive Cruise Control, autonomous emergency braking, blind spot monitoring system and Park Assist.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Oh yes, this look much better.
If VW Malaysia sell it at below MYR80K, I believe it can take about 400 unit a month of market share from City and Vios.
But their infamous DSG will scare people away although they said has improve. Majority would give up performance rather having problematic vehicle.
Bro…different group of user.
Those want the technology, as long as VW honour their 5 years warranty, they will still go for VW instead of Japanese!.
Francis, do you own a VW? My 3 year old Jetta running very smoothly, no issues whatsoever. You should be more responsible in posting facts. While the issue might have been there before, It no longer exist in all CKD models assembled here. Get your facts right bro.

Saga2 FLX front, Saga3 rear. Walao!
Walao, Sack mimos designer!
Walao! Never knew VW is down in the dumps until they use mimos to design their vento. MY mesti dah berjaya!
Are VW’s reliable?
Their clock is reliable. 4 years only run 2 minute off. Furthermore, that is in Malaysian weather (10 degree difference night and day). Testament to German engineering.
that Audi’s shark fin antenna rendered wrong , Polo/Vento should be normal antenna line , Jetta Audi’s sharkfin antenna , Passat apa pun tiada antenna….
