Road testing of the upcoming Volkswagen Vitrus also continues. Even though it has been quite a while now since the first spy shot of the new sedan had surfaced online, the prototype of the Vitrus continues to wear heavy camouflage. What’s visible in the latest spy video is the LED taillamps.
Speculations say that the new Vitrus will replace the Volkswagen Vento in the Indian market. It is expected to be powered by a 1.5L turbo petrol engine that would produce 150 horsepower and 250 Nm of twisting force. Another engine option that’d be available with the new sedan would be a 1.0L turbo petrol motor churning out 110 PS and 175 Nm. This is the same mill that we’ve experienced in the current-gen VW Vento. For the transmission, there would be a 6-speed MT, 6-speed torque converter, and a 7-speed DSG depending on the engine option. Details regarding the launch of the Vitrus remain a mystery, however, it is being anticipated that the new sedan would see the light of the day sometime in 2022.
