The sedans may no longer be the dominating force on the US new car market, but these three-box vehicles remain popular in many regions of the world. Take for example India, where small sedans remain the bread and butter on the streets. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that some automakers are developing new sedans especially for the local market, and Volkswagen seems to be the latest to join the party.
The attached spy photos below show a heavily camouflaged prototype testing in winter conditions in Northern Sweden. This is a test car for the new Volkswagen Virtus, which is a small sedan for India, where it will replace the aging Vento. For now, it is not known whether the German automaker will retire the Vento moniker when the new model arrives or it will keep one of its model names from the past alive. Most likely, however, it will be launched as the Virtus.
