Volkswagen has been on the verge of updating its INDIA 2.0 offerings like Virtus and Taigun. Both models are expected to get a comprehensive facelift and test mules of Taigun facelift have been spied as well. In the meantime, VW has launched a new colourway with both Virtus and Taigun.
Called Flash Red, this new colour looks rather nice and brings out a youthful and sporty flair of Virtus. This particular Red shade is perfectly complemented by the Black elements and smoked tail lights already seen on Virtus GT Line. Not all variants of Virtus get this new colour Flash Red colours. Let’s take a closer look at finer details.
Volkswagen Virtus Flash Red
If we take a quick look at India’s sedan sales, Volkswagen Virtus is currently the best-selling C and C+ Segment sedans. In June 2025, VW Virtus beat Skoda Slavia, Hyundai Verna, Honda City and the ageing Maruti Suzuki Ciaz to take the top spot. The company wants to retain Virtus’ winning streak with this Flash Red colourway.
Where availability is concerned, Volkswagen is only offering Flash Red colourway with GT Line trim level. Prices for Virtus GT Line Flash Red start from Rs 14.08 lakh (Ex-sh) for manual and Rs 15.18 lakh (Ex-sh) for automatic. Both variants get the same 1.0L 3-cyl Turbo Petrol engine mated to either a 6-speed manual or 6-speed torque converter.

All colourways including Flash Red get Black contrasting highlights, Black 16-inch wheels and smoked effect rear LED tail lights as standard. Even the Black roof finish is standard across all GT Line colourways.
