Despite more than 50 years of investigation, the understanding of the metal-insulator transition in VO2 remains incomplete and requires additional experimental and theoretical works. Using Raman scattering under pressure, we first confirm the known transition around 11 GPa affecting the V orbital occupancy in the absence of structural changes. Moreover, we disclose a transition around 19 GPa involving the V orbitals together with a structural distortion, revealed by the splitting of a phonon branch associated with the V chains. The high-pressure metallic X phase is found to be of low symmetry and becomes the lowest-enthalpy structure at high pressure by ab initio structural prediction calculations. In contrast to a well-established picture of the metal-insulator transition (i.e., the Peierls transition), the high-pressure metallic phase here is of lower symmetry than the ambient pressure insulating phase.
