A 1.0-litre and a 1.5-litre TSI petrol engine are the sedan’s two mechanically available engine options. The former generates 126 horsepower and 200 Nm of torque, while the latter generates a peak of 148 horsepower and 250 Nm of torque. In contrast to the Indian-spec Virtus, which comes with a manual and a DCT unit as well, there is just a six-speed automatic transmission available.
What’s different?
Adaptive cruise/speed control, manoeuvre braking, forward collision prevention, and post-collision braking are just a few of the ADAS technologies available on the Brazilian version of the Virtus, which is different from the Indian model. A larger digital driver’s display, an all-black interior theme, and more are some more interior elements. The Brazilian model is devoid of features like the sunroof and ventilated seats that are available in India.
