    Polo gti and golf gti do not share the same engine. The polo uses the DKZA engine which is a miller cycle engine designed for economy. They may both be 2 litres, but they’re completely different designs

      @MuziSambo  Рік тому +66

      I think you have explained the point I was trying to make better than me. Various models can have a similar engine capacity but tuned/designed differently in order to make each model UNIQUE. I think that's what Suzuki should consider doing instead of just throwing in the engine unaltered...Thank you for your input.

    • @thabisomzizi9654
      @thabisomzizi9654 Рік тому +5

      It's the same engine just tuned differently, simply because the Golf has to be more powerful than the Polo. Note that VW is no longer proucing new engines, I think they stopped with the MK5 GTi, hence the 8 will probably be the last Gen of their combustion engine under the Golf badge.

    This engine is underpowered, but it has so much aftermarket mod support from HKS and the like that with a supercharger, headers, cooling and exhaust, it will easily outdo other cars in the same segment in terms of power and torque. Much appreciated from Kenya. When you guys get stuff, we're not far behind.

    Hey Muzi, the top spec Grand Vitara is a 6 speed auto with a mild Hybrid and AWD, so yeah, its kind of steep. i do agree with you that they should have put in the turbo in at least one of the variants but there is a problem with that. The 1.4l Boosterjet is not produced India where this car is manufactured and putting the a 1l 3cylinder engine in a car that size is something stupid Euro manufacturers would do, even if they tuned it to its full potential which they dont do in India. India would have to import the engine which is quite costly and if you think Grand Vitara top spec is costly, see the Suzuki Swift Sport and Vitara and compare the jump in prices of the NA engines vs the Turbo and you see what im talking about. Also im puzzled why Suzuki would remove the Vitara Brezza and replace it with the Grand Vitara? Thats what they told you? The Vitara Brezza was one of their best selling models, i thought they would have removed it for the new that has been out nearly 2 years now but not for a much bigger car that starts where the now defunct one ended price wise. Also 6 seater coming your way? The XL6?

    Suzuki Grand Vitara used to be the only affordable alternative to a capable offroader. It had a 2.4l v6 engine with low range. It only lacked a diff lock. It could climb rocks, sand dunes and wade through mud. I don't know what this car is, but it is not a Grand Vitara.

    • @mindfreeze0838
      @mindfreeze0838 Рік тому +3

      I get that, its not as hardcore offroad as its predecessor and it doesnt have as much trunk space as its smaller sibling. Think of it as a Grand Vitara for a more fuel efficient age(because you have to admit, that thing could drink fuel like it had a drinking problem). Most persons that had the previous generation would climbing up mountains with them so AWD will suffice, if you want that, get a Jimny. The main aim these days is fuel efficiency.
