(Dan Tri) – Although the brand is positioned a bit more premium than popular cars, Volkswagen Virtus’s equipment has many points that are not as good as Japanese B-class sedans.
Volkswagen Virtus, the most expensive B-class sedan in Vietnam, is often deeply discounted at dealerships.
After applying the promotion, the actual selling price of Volkswagen Virtus is reduced to 699-799 million VND.
Even though the listed price is up to 1 billion VND, Volkswagen Virtus is not imported in complete units from Europe but originates from India (Photo: Van Toan).
With the brand positioning at the `adjacent luxury` level, Volkswagen Virtus has some more outstanding equipment than competitors from Japan or Korea, such as a sunroof or wireless phone charger.
Volkswagen Virtus has difficulty finding customers with the above limitations.
The interior of the Volkswagen Virtus is quite basic, not as eye-catching as competitors from Japan or Korea.
In October, B-class sedan models are actively competing for incentives even though many products receive a 50% reduction in registration fees from the State thanks to domestic assembly.
Notably, there is Honda City with a total promotion of up to 100 million VND.

Toyota Vios is also given 50% of the registration fee by the manufacturer, but the reduction does not exceed 24-30 million VND depending on the version.
Imported B-class sedans such as Mitsubishi Attrage, Suzuki Ciaz and Nissan Almera are supported by distributors with 50-100% registration fee to compete with assembled products.
