Owner shows 13 features unlocked in his Volkswagen Virtus sedan [Video]

Volkswagen Virtus which was launched in the market earlier this year is a premium mid-size sedan. It is not only premium but powerful too. It is in fact one of the most powerful sedans in this segment. The Virtus competes with cars like Honda City, Hyundai Verna, Maruti Ciaz and Skoda Slavia. Volkswagen offers Virtus with a 1.0 litre TSI and a 1.5 litre TSI engine. It offers a long list of features but, it looks like there are many more features that the manufacture is not offering in Indian market. Virtus is also being exported to other markets and many features in Virtus are locked for Indian market. Here we have a video of a Virtus owner who just unlocked 13 such cool features in his Virtus sedan.

The video has been uploaded by TORQUED on their YouTube channel. As mentioned above, Volkswagen manufactures Virtus for both Indian and international market. Some features that are locked for Indian market are available in other countries. Vlogger starts by showing the first feature that he got unlocked. He unlocked the honking feature when he locks or unlocks the car. This feature can be activated and deactivated by accessing the acoustic confirmation settings from the touchscreen infotainment screen.
