365Telugu.com online news,Hyderabad, October 22,2024: Volkswagen India has announced a significant achievement for the Virtus sedan, which has surpassed 50,000 units in domestic wholesale sales within 28 months. The Virtus has also emerged as India’s best-selling premium sedan for 2024, with over 17,000 units sold so far this year. This sales milestone further cements the Virtus’ position as the No.1 premium sedan in the country, winning over Indian customers with its dynamic performance, cutting-edge features, and industry-leading safety standards.
Earlier this year, Volkswagen’s India 2.0 cars—the Virtus and Taigun—together crossed the 1 lakh domestic sales milestone in the second quarter. Over the past 15 years, Volkswagen India has consistently introduced products that set new benchmarks in the market. By the end of the third quarter of 2024, the company had achieved 6.5 lakh domestic wholesale sales, with the India 2.0 models contributing nearly 18.5% of overall domestic volumes in just over three years since the Taigun was introduced.
Commenting on the milestone, Mr. Ashish Gupta, Brand Director at Volkswagen Passenger Cars India, said: “We are immensely grateful to our customers for making the Volkswagen Virtus India’s No.1 selling premium sedan. Crossing the 50,000 sales mark is a testament to the product’s success in the Indian market. Since its launch, we’ve been selling nearly 60 Virtus sedans every day, and we’re thrilled that Virtus has built a cult following, maintaining its sales momentum despite challenges in the segment.”
Mr. Gupta added, “With over 6.5 lakh domestic wholesale sales, we are thankful for the unwavering trust and support from the Volkswagen family. Our India 2.0 models, the Virtus and Taigun, have significantly contributed to our overall domestic success, making up nearly 18.5% of our sales since their launch.”
In India, the Virtus has played a key role in Volkswagen’s commitment to offering high-performance sedans with exceptional build quality and advanced safety features. Its popularity has been further enhanced by its record-breaking achievement in the 24-Hours Endurance Drive, where the Virtus GT covered a remarkable 4,654.48 km in just 24 hours, showcasing its unparalleled durability and performance.
Volkswagen Passenger Cars India remains focused on delivering safe, robust, and performance-driven vehicles, along with providing outstanding after-sales services. Earlier this month, Volkswagen introduced the highly anticipated new Virtus GT Line and Virtus GT Plus Sport, showcasing a sportier design with a sleek black-themed aesthetic.
