Volkswagen Virtus front right side AAA

I currently drive a VW Polo GT TSI, and I am looking for an additional car that can tackle really bad roads comfortably. It needs to have a big boot, should be able to seat four in reasonable comfort and cost under Rs 16 lakh, on-road.

Ashutosh Pratinidhi, Mumbai

Autocar India says: A logical upgrade from the Polo GT TSI is the VW Virtus 1.0 TSI, which will give you smooth and strong TSI power, the kind you are accustomed to. The Virtus has superb ground clearance that makes it suited for bad roads, and the boot is huge, too. The long wheelbase allows for a comfortable back seat and can seat four large adults comfortably.

Poll of the month

There will be 12 new Citroen and Jeep launches by 2030. Will this boost interest in these brands?

Yes, fresh models is just what's needed.
Only if sales and service expands alongside.
Won't be enough. Established brands are too strong.
