@@anishbhawal seltos with borderline 3 star(8 is lowest for 3 star) NCAP gonna beat polo safety? Yeah right go and spend 17 lakh on it and get a borderline 8.03 score seltos seems VFM. Next kia should sell 0 star cars too cos indians find it more vfm.
People will say 4 star over 2 star Will go with polo But for me I have to go with nios Because 1 service center vs 4 service center 100km away service center vs 30km service center... No way No option To choose what we want It depends upon availability
The polo still looks better than every other car in that segment except the Altroz. What is wrong in the car being 10 years old if it still looks so classy, understated, safe, solidly built, better insulated, has a firecracker engine and provides incredible driving pleasure. Young people who are single or families with little kids can still pick the polo any day. Those who need air purifiers and LCD TVs can stay away. 🤭
Oldest car in the segment. But for the youngest and enthusiast drivers. Solid build, excellent road manner, superior highway stability . Even after 10 years of its launch, still there is no car in the segment which can match it in driving performance and feel.
Being an I 20 owner I would say even taking up i20 petrol in comparison with polo petrol too polo could solidly win the comparison , truly yaaaar polo is class and comparing with compact hatch back is insane.
Real respect for Hyundai! The Grand i10 Turbo hits 0-100 in around 9.82 seconds! Superb. (Discontinued Baleno RS /9.7) Yes, the kickdown acceleration wouldn't be as quick as an automatic Polo on the other side! I hope people know Automatic Transmission cars don't lose power while shifting gears. (Multiple clutch plates, greater torque spread.) A manual loses power the second the clutch is pressed. Age? 10 years old, a great car but it's really old! Halogen headlamps on a car like this? Sad. Come on VW! More money = more power? (The Baleno RS was a sweet vehicle with a great VG Turbo. But very expensive!) The Polo is smooth and a great car to drive, great for stop start traffic. Taller gears. 16 inch rims. Nice but old interior! Great performance, mid range, braking and its still a great car to drive! Miss that DSG. The Grand i10 Nios is a peppy vehicle and much easier to drive! 100-160 acceleration, VW all the way? Better grip on the VW. Three cylinder thrum on the Nios is much more than the Polo. Very easy to drive! Better VFM. Great cars but the i20 Diesel/Altroz Petrol and Baleno Petrol will trump them! 8.3/10 Nios. (No rear wiper!!! Really nice interior? Feature loaded but no cruise control!) 2 Star NCAP. VFM: 8.2/10 8.1/10 Polo. (Old and strange interior, but its still a steal. No rear camera, excellent build!) 4 Star NCAP. VFM: 7.7/10
Between i10/i20 and the Polo, I'd choose the Polo any day for it's superior on-road manners and much better safety rating. The age of the platform is a non-issue in this case....
i10 comes no where closer to the polo Specially GT! Driving enthusiats know it better. Coming from a guy who owns a polo 1.6 gt tdi. Back then when i bought it came with class leading features like anti pinch one touch down all four windows, great built quality and an awesome music system. It’s been 7 years years and i haven’t sold it yet and i will not ever.. There’s a reason.
We have a rare VW Polo(1.6) and my aunt has an I10 Nios. Which one to root for? Also does anyone else find it hilarious that there are so many people hyping polo in the comments but very few people buying it?🤣😂
For driving pleasure polo any day for better handling. And it's saftey rating is way better than hyundai. And 6 gears is always better than 5 gears. Polo any day.
1. 3 cylinder engine makes noise in comparison to 4 Cylinder.... just bocz of cost cutting... company's are manufacturing...so that they can make more margins....in petrol engine... 2. You will feel the lag in 3 cylinder engine once AC is on.... 3. Indian buys will buy Hyundai bcoz after sale & Service....Hyundai availability and spare parts are easily accessible or available at any dealership in comparison to VW. 4. German Brand should stick to 4 Cylinder engine with Turbo Charge...will give different identity to its product...& At the same time increase the service outlets and spare parts availablity across region... Guys...plz do not take it personal...it my personal view being owner of VW Vento...
I think VW will only do a real upgrade of Polo exterior and interior in India in 2050. Apart, irrespective of a being a solidly built car with fun to drive engine, Polo 1.0 TSI won't even come near i10 Nios Turbo in selling, a fading brand and fading car unfortunately is the story for VW in India, hightime they bring more latest products in under 10 lakhs category
I have recently bought Nios Turbo. Have driven in all terrains except hills. Not sure about Polo but I have heard VW service is not to the mark compared to Hyundai. Features wise, Nios has the same but more than Polo. Same engine with more tech, why not go for Nios Turbo. In terms of driving, I am more than happy as it has enough space and enough power that even passengers and the driver, all enjoy ride. Safety wise, I accept there's a compromise but that's fine as long you drive with consciousness.
Perfect Verdict.... Perfect Review!👍🏼 That specific section time given in the description is a nice inclusion for the ones not interested in everything....but I doubt how many people will notice it, without u mentioning it's presence in the description. 🤔
I know Figo isn’t turbocharged but it could have been more interesting to see how it compares to polo since that’s much more fun to drive than Hyundai cars.
Timeless design, 6 speed manual, 100 bhp hatchback. Sounds like a modern day classic. (Think of hot hatches from the 90s in US). A perfect second car for the indian customer.
Many commenters here don't own a Polo TSI or either an i10 nios Turbo. If performance is what we are talking, i20 Turbo + DCT is way slower than the 5 speed MT i10 nios turbo or the Polo TSI MT. The I20 is just roomier and has more features than the i10 nios if one opts for the top of the line Asta Option variant. In fact, the i10 is more spacious on the rear objectively and feels plush than the VW polo. Polo being a bigger car has less room inside the cabin than the smaller i10 nios, that's a shame. Polo's advantages over i10 is the better steering and suspension and safer chassis strength. Of course you get cruise control and auto dimming mirrors and auto wipers. But, i10 turbo offers very similar acceleration performance, more space for the leg and head, plushier seats, better in car infotainment system, cheaper to maintain, slightly more fuel efficient, rear camera and better stock headlamps. Of course, most dealerships won't have an i10 nios turbo for a test drive and I think it's more practical hatchback to buy for seating 4 who are more concerned about the space and performance at the same time. I've ridden a polo TSI and got very impressed. But, in terms of practicality it's hard to live as a single car - Not an i10 or a Polo owner. We've got an i20 Turbo + DCT in our house.
Am I the only one that finds Polo's switch gear irritating? They still have the wiper controls on the right and the indicators on the left! Also the showrooms, a big factor in car purchase. At least in my city I have 03 Hyundai outlets as compared to 01 VW. Not only that when you visit the VW showroom in my city they have only 2 guys out of which one belongs to the administrative section. I mean how can you expect people to come and buy cars from you when the first impression is poorer than most 2 wheeler dealers! Well obviously 4 star rating command respect and no doubt Polo is a performer but then again safety is not the only thing, Indian car buyers are looking for!
Make sure you make safety a priority in review and stress on the ncap ratings for car. Which will intern make viewers/buyers more aware and will make the whole auto industry vehicle safer.
The thing is that ... if the i10 nios had better performance and handling than the Polo ... and that too by a good margin ... than the enthusiasts would have neglected the safety rating score of the i10 nios and choose it over the Polo ... but the Polo is still a very strong contender in the segment .
Enjoying Polo 1.0 TSI since July 😈...performance is 🔥🔥...interior feels classy with solid build quality...Nios lacks features such as 6 speed gearbox, cruise control, auto dimming IRVM and rain sensing & rear wipers..
4 star vs 2 star rating makes it an obvious choice. I don't care about dated interiors, absence of space or slightly harder suspension. Safety over useless features any day. Ps. Driving polo for 5+ years
Polo king car.. Please don't compare Polo with other car... Polo best all-rounder..polo top quality interior performance safe and top fit n finished awesome handling
Nice to see a couple of sub-10 sec Hot hatches slugging it out. Brings back the recent memories of Tata Tiago JTP.... That would have been a blast along with this duo. Bring it back Tata!!
i10 NIOS might be polarizing in looks. However, POLO itself defines polarization with its performance & driveability. It's that wine which tastes nothing but better & better & better with time. All hatchbacks aside & POLO on the other.
the clutch has longer travel and high raise too, is there any chances of entirely changing/swap or tweaking the same system .. enthusiasts pl enlighten me on this thanks!!
Hello, i am a regular viewer of your channel and i have one request . If it is possible to make a comparison video between tigor , amaze and dzire again in 2021 so it will be great for so many people.
We are not racing on the roads Nobody is Turbo varients of poli as well as nios may be more thriller than honda city and verna But that doesnt make them better than sedan
Fun fact: polo have a 10 years old look..but no cars can beat polo on their looks..lol😂
Polo's look is timeless. That's it.
Shouldn't it be Polo vs I20(both are premium hatchback), instead of I10 nios.
Gosh ! Seriously ! How can you even imagine comparing Hyundai with a Volkswagen! Polo is in a different league altogether!
Price and power - Near identical!
I didn't click on this video to see which car is better, I just wanted to know how far better the polo is 🔥
Nothing can beat Polo in the driving feel and safety
You forgot to add, "In this segment" buddy cause many cars can beat the feel and safety of Polo
@@anishbhawal seltos with borderline 3 star(8 is lowest for 3 star) NCAP gonna beat polo safety? Yeah right go and spend 17 lakh on it and get a borderline 8.03 score seltos seems VFM. Next kia should sell 0 star cars too cos indians find it more vfm.
People will say
4 star over 2 star
Will go with polo
But for me
I have to go with nios
Because
1 service center vs 4 service center
100km away service center vs 30km service center...
No way
No option
To choose what we want
It depends upon availability
Polo being a decade old car still looks and feel better than this car
Polo has history to go with and will be there to buy in future 2050 ... But cars like Nios will come and go
Couldn't agree more. I am a proud owner of a Polo. Owners Pride, Neighbours Envy.
Polo is ❣️
Edit - u can't compare 2star car with 4 star 🤔
How can u compare a premium hatchback with a budget one thats underestimating the polo!
It's priced similarl
4 🌟 over 2 🌟 any day!!! red stitching won't save your skin in case of (Godforbid) collision but better built quality certainly will!!!

Kudos to Volkswagen and Hyundai for not letting the hot hatch scene end in India.
Wrong comparison, polo vs i20 turbo is right comparison, polo is VFM

That 100ps/170nm is just on paper, no other hatchback comes close to polo gt in performance only figo tdci is exception.
110 ps/175 nm
The polo isn't an ordinary car. It's a classic...a cult classic

Grand I10 nios is affordable and Polo is more solidly built. Engines are mind blowing ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
We have a rare VW Polo(1.6) and my aunt has an I10 Nios. Which one to root for? Also does anyone else find it hilarious that there are so many people hyping polo in the comments but very few people buying it?🤣😂

Vw polo best under 9lakhs nothing can beat . I just got polo tsi best in all segment if you want safety and a hot hatch . Beautiful machine

Compare i20 turbo with Polo as that will be right comparison
If only Polo had the rear seat space and a better suspension that ages well in time.
If I ever going to buy a Polo its definitely gonna be a 1.0 TSI Highline with manual transmission. Not the GT😁
I think VW will only do a real upgrade of Polo exterior and interior in India in 2050. Apart, irrespective of a being a solidly built car with fun to drive engine, Polo 1.0 TSI won't even come near i10 Nios Turbo in selling, a fading brand and fading car unfortunately is the story for VW in India, hightime they bring more latest products in under 10 lakhs category
They had the ameo...the question is nobody bought it too🙄
I have recently bought Nios Turbo.
Have driven in all terrains except hills. Not sure about Polo but I have heard VW service is not to the mark compared to Hyundai.

it should have been polo vs Tiago JTP, sadly it was discontinued.
POLO ❤️❤️ love u gt
I Love Volkswagen Polo❤
Polo for saftey .
There's no competition here (in terms of driving dynamics), Polo is an absolute pleasure.
Howsoever older polo gets; it always looks & drives stunningly!! Awesome Old wine 🍷
Perfect Verdict.... Perfect Review!👍🏼
That specific section time given in the description is a nice inclusion for the ones not interested in everything....but I doubt how many people will notice it, without u mentioning it's presence in the description. 🤔
Always VW POLO and owners of POLO are always passionate about cars so they know well about the cars and safety 👍🏻
Polo! ❤️❤️❤️
People talk all great things in comments but act differently when actually buy a car.
VW Polo 1.0 TSI is the benchmark... In the driving dynamics...
I know Figo isn’t turbocharged but it could have been more interesting to see how it compares to polo since that’s much more fun to drive than Hyundai cars.
Polo need a facelift its the same old thing from years
It needs a new generation instead of facelift
polo 😍. VW offers quality porducts that becomes ageless. VW driven after 10 years fells similar to new one and thats its USP
vw polo 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
The Hyundai's design will fade away in a couple of years but the Polo would still look fresh for another ten years
I like everything about the Polo, I'd choose it over the i10 Nios just for the 4 star rating alone!
Timeless design, 6 speed manual, 100 bhp hatchback. Sounds like a modern day classic. (Think of hot hatches from the 90s in US). A perfect second car for the indian customer.
Comments section polo polo polo real world/streets i10 nios
if polo reduced the boot to same as of NIOS, there could have been a slight improvement in the rear space, just my thought

polo best looking car .till now very sports car look of polo i love its design
If only people care more about safety, they would eventually make all car makers go more safe! Polo any day!
Missing fiat abarth punto
Always polo

Polo king car.. Please don't compare Polo with other car... Polo best all-rounder..polo top quality interior performance safe and top fit n finished awesome handling
PLS COMPARE FIGO OR FREESTYLE 1.5TDCI VS POLO1.0 TURBO
Please do a comparison between polo GT TSI AUTOMATIC VS NEW I20 DCT
Nice to see a couple of sub-10 sec Hot hatches slugging it out. Brings back the recent memories of Tata Tiago JTP.... That would have been a blast along with this duo. Bring it back Tata!!
Please just launch the new generation POLO, it'll be superhit again.
i10 NIOS might be polarizing in looks. However, POLO itself defines polarization with its performance & driveability. It's that wine which tastes nothing but better & better & better with time. All hatchbacks aside & POLO on the other.
Polo design is so classic. Nothing fancy. That's the USP
vw polo is a an evergreen car , a true example of well designed product and product of quality
Question : Who is the Beast hatchback
Ans : V.W POLO
the clutch has longer travel and high raise too, is there any chances of entirely changing/swap or tweaking the same system .. enthusiasts pl enlighten me on this thanks!!
Vw should launch a rear wheel drive version of polo with a 2.0tsi and with a manual gearnbox that would be just a dream come true for any car guy
2 minute silence for Abarth Punto leaving 🇮🇳...
Nothing can beat performance and stability. Polo rocks
I love the design of polo...simple and with attitude...
Whatever u say polo is my all time fav
Boycott the polo. It looks good, but it's still a decade old designed. Other markets have gotten the polo's new model years ago
Does i10 neos is more spacious than polo?
Polo vs i10 ? R u kidding me ? Polo handsdown wins the race anyday ..
Polo is king of segment when it comes to driving feel.
Hello, i am a regular viewer of your channel and i have one request . If it is possible to make a comparison video between tigor , amaze and dzire again in 2021 so it will be great for so many people.
Decade old car looks better than newly launched car ... we have to accept the fact 😊
Polo's design is timeless.
When will the review for facelifted innova crysta be uploaded ??
Very curious to know about it !
My pick will be the POLO of course😎
Only polo I'm mad having polo last one month... I will buy only Volkswagen car... They offered great car in less price
What about Figo?
This is not an apple to apple comparison. Polo is far superior. It can be compared to i20 and alike
Missing tiago jtp.....😢
Though polo is a 10 year old car, it looks better than nios...
One launched in 2009 still looks sexier
Figo petrol vs polo tsi which one will win?
Polo beats this Korean machine hands down in all departments. Only rear space is the issue.
Still Polo looks awesome!👍
We are not racing on the roads
Nobody is
Turbo varients of poli as well as nios may be more thriller than honda city and verna
But that doesnt make them better than sedan
The nios is quicker to 100 🤣🤣VW fanboys must be crying
