Skoda introduced the all-new Slavia in India back in November 2021 and now Volkswagen is following suit with the equivalent Virtus. The second-generation sedan rides on the same MQB-A0-IN platform as its sister model, with the underpinnings adapted by Skoda for India and other emerging markets. It shouldn't come as a surprise the two share the exact same wheelbase of 2,651 millimeters (104.3 inches).
At 4,561 mm (179.5 in) long and 1,507 mm (59.3 in) tall, the new Virtus is slightly longer and taller than the equivalent Slavia while having an identical width of 1,752 mm (69 in). The two compact sedans also share the 521-liter trunk as well as most of the interior cabin. Replacing the aging Vento in India, VW's latest sedan does have different front and rear fascias than the Skoda, but the side profile gives away its true identity.
