I was already a big fan of Virtus, now I'm even more so, and it cleared up all my doubts regarding its competitors.
Does Virtua still not have curtain airbags or adaptive cruise control? Or has this been resolved?
The 2025 Volkswagen Virtus Highline still doesn't have curtain airbags and adaptive cruise control. While these features are important in many aspects of safety and convenience, Volkswagen has chosen to invest in other technologies and features in its top-of-the-line model.
*Virtus
I think you are mistaken, the Virtus does have ACC, which is Volkswagen's adaptive cruise control and it comes with 6 airbags, including the curtain airbag.
When you make a call and include a photo in the call, make sure that the photo is of the car in question. They talk about the Virtus, which is a great car, but they include a photo of a Passat that was discontinued in 2022.
