最近大众Virtus无伪装照片曝光，该车将于9月1日正式发布，同时将作为Polo轿车于明年一季度在南美上市。在外观设计上，Virtus与Polo有一些不同。不仅是因为它的轴距更长，而且两车的前保险杠下部造型也不同。车尾更高，行李箱盖上有小型扰流器，与雪佛兰Prisma很相似。造型时尚的尾灯组类似奥迪A4和A3轿车，行李箱盖部分一端逐渐变细。这次一共拍到了两款不同版本的Virtus。红色的版本看上去更像入门级车型，配备15英寸钢制轮圈和塑料轮毂盖，没有雾灯，保险杠底部也没有喷漆。该车很可能搭载一台1.6升汽油引擎，功率89千瓦/120马力，搭配五速手动变速器。而黑色的轿车是顶级款Highline，该车保险杠和车窗框采用镀铬装饰，配备17英寸合金轮圈。该车搭载改款后的1.0升TSI引擎，功率95千瓦/128马力，只搭配六速自动变速器。与标准版Polo相比它的车身尺寸更大，大众不会提供1.0升MPI自然进气引擎。车厢内布局类似 Polo，仪表群提供10.2英寸TFT显示屏，也可为多媒体系统选装集成8英寸显示屏。
New VW Virtus Aka Polo Sedan Caught Completely Undisguised
Weeks before the official premiere of the Volkswagen Virtus on September 1, spy photos courtesy of our reporter Leo Fortunatti reveal the vehicle in its full glory. Think of it as a Polo sedan going on sale in South America during the first quarter of 2018.
As we expected, the Virtus shows some differences compared to the Polo in terms of design. Not only it has a longer wheelbase, but the shape of the lower part of the front bumper is different. The rear end, in turn, is higher and has a kind of small spoiler on the boot lid, very similar in shape to the one on the Chevrolet Prisma. The stylish taillights resemble those of the Audi A4 and A3 Sedan with the thinner part that is located on the trunk lid.
The spy photos show two very different versions of Virtus. The red car looks like an entry-level model with 15-inch steel wheels covered with plastic hubcaps, without fog lights, and with unpainted bottom part of the bumpers. It will most likely use a 1.6-liter gasoline engine with 120 horsepower (89 kilowatts), mated to a five-speed manual gearbox.
The black sedan appears to be the range-topping Highline variant, with chrome trim on the bumpers and window frames, as well as 17-inch alloy wheels. It will use a revised version of the 1.0 TSI engine, with 128 hp (95 kW), coupled exclusively to a six-speed automatic. Because of the larger size of the sedan compared to the standard Polo, Volkswagen is not planning to offer the naturally aspirated 1.0 MPI engine for the Virtus.
Inside the cabin, the layout is similar to the Polo with a 10.2-inch TFT display in the instrument cluster and an optionally available 8-inch screen for the multimedia system.
