PowerDrift PowerDrift i think a fast hatch will be driven fast by most ppl. So u need to factor in the most important thing while reviewing. Safety. Youre different from other channels. Better in many ways. But its funny how you missed tge safety part. Also when u do review the safety part please dont do what others do and just read specs on paper. Both these cars have 2 airbags n other electronic aids. But the baleno has a questionable safety structure and every accident i have seen or read about involving a baleno hasnt ended well for the car. The baleno ncap rating isnt great and the one tested isnt the same one which is for indian market which i feel.is more compromised for lowering costs. I dont own either of the cars. Just giving my view. Our life is most important and you need to review even safety.
I don’t recommend GT TSI for regular kanjoos... It is made for enthusiast.. Once you sit inside, you feel safe... even 30 lakh more luxury sedans cant beat gttsi cruising...
@@pravingnanam3115 My dad bought Polo Diesel in 2011, and his friend(Hyundai lover) bought i20 Petrol in 2012 because of its cheap maintaince. But gotta say, my dad has driven polo now for almost 170k KM now and car is really responsive till now, specially it's Turbo and Build is something which you definitely can't get in any car of this price range. However, i20 is spacious, has cheaper maintenance, light steering (which I personally like) and some extra features in interior(which to be honest are useless). But polo had some major crashes, but still polo saved the passengers and I guess if it was some other small car, it would have been destroyed. So, in terms of Dynamics and Safety and Looks(own choice) Polo is way better than i20
@@bigfoot01 thanks for your response. I get it. I currently own a Toyota Etios premium for family use. The only advantage with Toyota is it's absolutely reliable engine efficiency and it's well know to everyone. Can I expect the same durability with Polo engines regardless of the varients?
@@pravingnanam3115 I personally like Toyota very much because of their comfort and Etios itself is a really comfortable and spacious car. I have driven my uncle's 7yo Etios and it has a pretty refined engine. But I can say, polo even has a better and aggressive engine, whether you drive it in city or hilly area, power won't be the limit in this price segment. Our Polo is now almost 9 yo and 1.75 lacs km driven. But believe me there has been no issues with the engine yet. Acceleration has decreased a bit now(takes approximately 13 secs to reach 100), but that's after a heavy usage of Polo and for a long time. Yeah, the service is a bit expensive, it is because there parts are really premium and better than Hyundai and Maruti and aren't easily available in local market. And I have seen the parts used by VW and parts used in Hyundai/Maruti from local market. Also which many people don't know, when a single part gets damaged, they change whole system around it, for eg, my car's pipe of liquid coolent was damaged, they changed many things with it as well. It's their company policy
@@ayannath393 no he says that because the Polo is better built and better engineered. VW cars are a gazillion segments above Maruti in every way, be it fit and finish, or build quality, or dynamics.
PowerDrift Big fan of the GT TSI and VW mods... Never got a chance to own a Polo GT TSI (no Dealership n service centers in entire Northeast india). Just a bried test drive of a colleagues GT and i was in love #TeamPolo
nandan angadi When the car gives such a better driving pleasure than baleno .. the service bills just doesnt matter brother 🤟🏼.. ( and mileage too ) #teampolo
If you had a tech channel in place of PowerDrift, it would have crossed 2M subscribers considering the style effort and script of each of your videos especially blockbuster series
Please tell the guys who scripted this one that they have done a great job. 👍 And the studio setup looks cool. Like always I had to see the video twice; First time i ws lost in the video, second time to listen to the audio too. And having both Glen and Rohan & Baleno RS and Polo GT I couldn't ask for more from this video, till Rohan pointed out at Figo sports. I hardly listen to the specs as I am always lost in the charm of the video. ❤️ PowerDrift. #fan
Ten hut is back with a bang👍👍👍. No one can review a car better than Rohan and no one can review a bike than sarge😎😎😎 overall no channel can outperform powerdrift 😊😊😊😊😊
Powerdrift team does acknowledge the fact that bringing the Abarth Punto into this will be like putting a gun into a knife fight! It will be brutal unfair and merciless killing!! :P
I liked all the videos of power drift except Baleno RS vs Polo GT TSI POLO is way far ahead compared to Baleno 1 solid cabin Harman kardon touch screen music system better noise cancellation cabin DSG 7 speed gear box awesome 4 cylinder 1.2 turbo better than 3 cylinder 1.0 turbo better handing and cornering than Baleno quality interiors it's more powerful and stable and durable top speed 210 kmph so this is better sports hatch back with mileage of 16.5 km in highways and 11 kmpl in the city
No no. We didn't forget it. We will get to it soon in a more befitting story. Putting it in this comparo doesn't make sense because the Abarth is in a different league with its price and performance both. Hang in there for a story with the Abarth ;)
Yeah PD team, Even I thought about mentioning Punto Abarth, despite the price tag (little higher) it is still the tough fighting champ in this Hot Hatch category... ;) dont forget to add this one toooooooooooooooo Love you guys....
Awsome power drift ... u r best among all those reviewers.... speciallay Autocar and Overdrive from the beginning to the end..... a great presentation.... thnx to your camer crew also
The Baleno RS that suzuki sells here isn't even a real contender, lol. Polo GT will run rings around the tin can. Suzuki sells a faster, well built version of the RS in Europe, producing more power and torque. *That* would be a real competitor to the GT, not this. To be honest, I'd pick either the JTP Tiago or the Figo S. It's more practical than both the RS and the GT, while being pretty fast.
I am a maruti suzuki owner from last 4 years (RUNNING 65k kms), last year I got a vw polo (RUNNING 22k kms) & now I would never turn back to maruti suzuki again. The build, drive quality and safety standards are superior in VW. The metal on VW is more stronger than (ANY) maruti suzuki running today. VW is worth every penny, you will know the toughness of polo just by closing its doors. Spending same amount on a maruti is a total waste. And people say maruti has low maintenance. Really?? the service cost is around 5-6K twice in a year for maruti suzuki VW gets serviced for 12k (1 service + 1 general checkup) annually and not a single penny spent on my polo for any issues till now. The baleno can't even match the safety standards of ford figo and fiat punto and you guys are comparing it with a poloGT and that too with a DSG gearbox !! This video looks like a car commercial not a true review
We agree with a lot of your points..probably thats why I couldnt make up my mind at the end of it. I would have been forced to choose a winner if it were paid :P
I also laugh in the same way like you did @7:14 when any idiot speaks for maruti suzuki over the VW polo :P I wonder what makes them to go for maruti suzuki when it comes to "DAILY BASIS" (as GLEN said "live with it everyday") That means safety & drive quality doesn't matter for such folks on a daily basis ?? All that matters is the gimmick infotainment system to play with and a long list of shitty features which maruti suzuki and hyundai uses fooling people for their marketing purpose. I don't think any VW or SKODA owner would ever turn back to hyundai or maruti suzuki.
Compare it with the latest GT and please it is for the enthusiast, compare the quality of body and how fast you go people dont recommend above 110 in Baleno as it might get hurt by a scooter as well.
@@MixyezGuy not because VW makes bad cars, but because Indians would prefer rain sensing wipers and auto headlamps in a tin can piece of crap over slightly lesser features list in a car built like a tank. Same reason why fiat, whose cars were built more strongly than a gazillion SuzuSHITs put together, had to stop production. I absolutely have no respect to suzuki as a company, to hell with them.
I don't know how to put it technically, but for a moment you forget the cars and appreciate how well executed / packaged the show is- music , content, special effects etc.; there is a punch to it all. Automotive shows in are a bit too dull- dead music, in the midst of desolate highways, some lousy close-up and panning shots to add to the nonexistent drama, and show anchors who would be more at ease selling high-end apartments. IMHO, PD has the best anchors for automotive content in this country right now, including Gavin from the Autocar channel.
Comparing European cars with Japanese and Korean cars is a foolishness. Volkswagen Ford and fiat is a beautiful royal class car at affordable prices, at the same time Japanese extracting the people's innocence or foolishness, yes maintenance is a bit expensive but life is more precious, and unmatched driving experience. Instead of buying a Japanese car, it will be better to buy seconds ford or Volkswagen, which is not only cheaper to buy moreover it will be much cheaper to maintain aswell. For example I bought a used vento instead of i20, by which I saved 5 lakhs of rupees, and if u calculate 10 percent depreciation value, plus 10 percent bank intrest plus 3 percent insurance premium which is about 23 percent savings every year, which amounts to 1.19 lakh. And even if u send 50 thousands of rupees on service, u would be saving about 69 thousand rupees every year.
PowerDrift ...ya. maruti is Doing mistakes.... that they are calling IT RS IT will take over poloGT soon... i beleave .. that maruti will think about the RS.... #teambalenoRS....proud to be baleno onwer...
#Powerdrift has managed to change the whole theme of auto review shows,,,, it's on whole new level, keeping it to international standards,,, keep up the good work guys...
Lmao, are you guys even serious? The Polo GT TSI is the *_REAL_* enthusiast's car. The Baleno RS is just a *tatkaal edition* for people who cannot digest the waiting period of the regular baleno.
If this is my first performance hatch,i will go with RS hands down!! But the Fiat abarth punto is a tempting proposition for me albeit practicality is what one needs to give up then!! Fantastic videography once again.
Both nice cars. But if you're really in the market for a hot hatch and do not want to buy the abarth then the polo is the best bet. Neither of these cars offers performance which is enough to satisy an enthusiast. The polo is extremely mod friendly. There are remaps, performance upgrades from well known tuners from around the world. Despite the heavier weight it beats the baleno rs. N the difference is bigger post 100kmph. A remap, free flow exhaust will take the top end to 210-230kmph on speed97 n make it faster then many cars from 2 classes above. Those who can afford to spend more can also upgrade suspension to kw street comfort n lower car by 10-15mm. Btw petes also offers retrofit of rear discs for the gt. And you can upgrade to bigger brakes in the front.
Loved your ending! "One cannot decide without talking about Figo Sports 1.5 Diesel" Thats when I felt that I booked the right car. Yes, my choice was Figo Sports. :D Waiting for that next video
Ashwin Srinivasan Actually both the cars offer u different things of appreciation...Polo is a fast paced cute hatchback and is quite of a fun...While Baleno may not have the better acceleration but it is always known for its handling properties , spacious cabin and a very safe driving(something everyone appreciates )
sankalp sankrityayan bro Polo is always rated superbly for its handling and suspension. That solid build, wide lower stance n yes it's got the weight for that planted feeling. No body roll. I spent 8 months of research before choosing a Polo over its competition and I drove all the hatchbacks, sedans that fell in the same price bracket.
You guys nail every time in showing eye candy stuff about cars/bikes. I like the way you narrate any plot. I'd say Sagar does fit absolutely fantastic to any narration. Keep it up guys.
no, really i got my GT last year and it came with touchscreen display included,the sales person said that GT is similar to Pole highline but has better engine with DSG Gearbox.Mainly I saw your review 4 or 5 times and just went and bought the car.Thank you Guys for GR8 content ,keep the good work
which one to buy the vw polo or Maruti baleno as my friend has baleno so a car hit on the beam at the speed of 50 km /h and baleno took the impact but the cost of repair comes out to be rs 50000 but in the case of VW polo the car right side behind the driver seat got crumpled more than the baleno more or less the same speed so iam not able to decide for which are should I go polo or baleno . and people are saying VW polo build quality is best than Maruti baleno plz help
which tires would you recommend for the baleno rs? Also do you think it needs a new set of aftermarket wheels or the stock ones are good enough? #pdarmy
PowerDrift Looking forward to compare these cars with Abarth Punto. Considering the segment (not price) Abarth punto should be compared with these. Please consider Abarth Punto.
This was such a informative and transparent video. Kudos. But my inner petrol nut is still confused as to why haven't you put the Fiat Punto Abarath in the equation?
75% of people are not interested to buy this both cars (including me) but they still watch this video just because it's powerdrift's video REALLY LOVE YOUR VIDEO GUYZ KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
@powerdrift ....movind towards altogether to a whole new level. pls keep on bringing these amazing side by side comparisons of cars belonging to Same category...superlikes, just a jumpstart i needed this morning to get along my day.
I own a polo and the best part is the steering wheel of the polo but it's handling isn't as good as the swift and the worst part which people barely talk about in the polo is that the seat is uncomfortable , when i drive swift the seat is way better and in polo the back support is just bad so in long journeys polo is a drag
I seriously hope VW brings a roomier version of Polo in 2018 and hopefully plonks 1.4 TSI engine in the top variant - whoa, that will be a blast to drive really!!
Please use the 2017 Polo GT TSI to compare with a Baleno RS. The Polo GT TSI has a color touchscree n display Audio unit (albeit not as capable as Baleno). Most importantly, the GT TSI has 16in wheels now and has plenty of grip and an even more stable, heavier steering feel.
Guys, your video deserves nothing but a hats off.You are truly gonna be the best and most loved channel for automobile enthusiasts and I personally fucking loved it how you finished the video with Figo sports's teaser .
very creative video and good technical comparison...but see if you can reduce music volume...it was too much loud and some places it was suppressing the voice of anchors.... overall good video
I own VW GT TSI. Nice package all over... But in my case some features are missing like projector headlight, DRL, armrest, Rear disc break. But after market option is also there for it... So first and last choice is VW GT TSI...
Next Part coming soon here : ruclips.net/video/gvs-M8Qm7AM/видео.html

Comapre a Abarth punto with the legendary VW GTI..It will be brutal unfair and merciless killing!! :P
Oh, I didn't know GTI is in the same segment.
If a GT can be compared to punto Abarth. it can also be compared to a GTI
The abarth only wins at flatout acceleration...ingear acceleration is much better on polo.
Meanwhile VW GTI is giving a smirk.
I liked all the videos of power drift except Baleno RS vs Polo GT TSI
POLO is way far ahead compared to Baleno
1 solid cabin
Harman kardon touch screen music system
better noise cancellation cabin
DSG 7 speed gear box awesome
4 cylinder 1.2 turbo better than 3 cylinder 1.0 turbo
better handing and cornering than Baleno
quality interiors it's more powerful and stable and durable
top speed 210 kmph
so this is better sports hatch back with mileage of 16.5 km in highways and 11 kmpl in the city
You do have some valid points there but the Baleno RS is more spacious and lighter, and it gets all 4 discs. It also gets a manual gearbox.
Pawan kumar.M Kumar hey are you sure polo comes with harman kardon speakers??
GT TSI has a 3 cylinder too........
and it doesnt come with Harman Kardon heck its display sucks too
No dear GT tsi has 4 cylinder
Yes
You Forgot Punto Abarth ;) The Most Powerful Hatch Under 15L

Which tyres are best for both these cars? Plz recommend....

For example I bought a used vento instead of i20, by which I saved 5 lakhs of rupees, and if u calculate 10 percent depreciation value, plus 10 percent bank intrest plus 3 percent insurance premium which is about 23 percent savings every year, which amounts to 1.19 lakh. And even if u send 50 thousands of rupees on service, u would be saving about 69 thousand rupees every year.
Im so fast i can out run flash to watch PD videos! kudos guys
Hahaha, we don't doubt that at all!
PowerDrift ...ya. maruti is Doing mistakes.... that they are calling IT RS IT will take over poloGT soon... i beleave .. that maruti will think about the RS.... #teambalenoRS....proud to be baleno onwer...
#Powerdrift has managed to change the whole theme of auto review shows,,,, it's on whole new level, keeping it to international standards,,, keep up the good work guys...
Enjoying the cheekier side of PD and cliffhangers too. Bring it on!
The amount of love abarth punto is getting is tremendous.What if all these love translates in to sales.??i wish if it happened.
Sadly, sales not happening for Fiat, first in Mumbai 2 years back now also in Pune, showrooms for Fiat are closed
Everyone buys maruti at the end..Only twister Volkswagen fans here
Baleno is just unsafe bcoz of the build quality polo is way too better
Lmao, are you guys even serious? The Polo GT TSI is the *_REAL_* enthusiast's car. The Baleno RS is just a *tatkaal edition* for people who cannot digest the waiting period of the regular baleno.
If this is my first performance hatch,i will go with RS hands down!! But the Fiat abarth punto is a tempting proposition for me albeit practicality is what one needs to give up then!! Fantastic videography once again.
Both nice cars. But if you're really in the market for a hot hatch and do not want to buy the abarth then the polo is the best bet. Neither of these cars offers performance which is enough to satisy an enthusiast. The polo is extremely mod friendly. There are remaps, performance upgrades from well known tuners from around the world. Despite the heavier weight it beats the baleno rs. N the difference is bigger post 100kmph. A remap, free flow exhaust will take the top end to 210-230kmph on speed97 n make it faster then many cars from 2 classes above. Those who can afford to spend more can also upgrade suspension to kw street comfort n lower car by 10-15mm. Btw petes also offers retrofit of rear discs for the gt. And you can upgrade to bigger brakes in the front.
Loved your ending!
"One cannot decide without talking about Figo Sports 1.5 Diesel"
Thats when I felt that I booked the right car. Yes, my choice was Figo Sports. :D
Waiting for that next video
waiting with bated breath myself. See you soon
Extremely faaaaaadu comparison..
for me its polo gt
after praising the polo gt so much u choose baleno! strange
Ashwin Srinivasan Glen did. I didnt !
Ashwin Srinivasan it is due to after sales service think so ...
Ashwin Srinivasan Actually both the cars offer u different things of appreciation...Polo is a fast paced cute hatchback and is quite of a fun...While Baleno may not have the better acceleration but it is always known for its handling properties , spacious cabin and a very safe driving(something everyone appreciates )
coz as indians we want a whole package 😁... not too much concerned about long run...
sankalp sankrityayan bro Polo is always rated superbly for its handling and suspension. That solid build, wide lower stance n yes it's got the weight for that planted feeling. No body roll. I spent 8 months of research before choosing a Polo over its competition and I drove all the hatchbacks, sedans that fell in the same price bracket.
You guys nail every time in showing eye candy stuff about cars/bikes. I like the way you narrate any plot. I'd say Sagar does fit absolutely fantastic to any narration. Keep it up guys.
the only review channel i watch for indian cars, you guys never disappoint.. music is awesome...
ford figo intro was the best..
Who the hell are u guys,You do mind boggling bike reviews and car reviews too, don't u feel pity about other reviewers.😅
Haha :) No way we're letting you all down!
my polo gt has a touch screen display
Woah! Surprising that back here we still only have the touch screen display for the Polo and not the GT. Hopefully about "time"
no, really i got my GT last year and it came with touchscreen display included,the sales person said that GT is similar to Pole highline but has better engine with DSG Gearbox.Mainly I saw your review 4 or 5 times and just went and bought the car.Thank you Guys for GR8 content ,keep the good work
So which car would you suggest someone to buy?
The script n screenplay.....😂😂😂 just so classy and you can't help without having a good grin on your face while watching this... amazing job guys 😍
that subscribe at 2:10. Done already.
Hahaha. Thanks Kisna. Now spread the word! Thanks again. :-)
Japanese forever
I am always with my favorite BALENO RS..
Kevin Savla tin ka daba he vo, bro love ur life
i miss this powerdrift.
The energy, the love for it..
Come back..
which one to buy the vw polo or Maruti baleno as my friend has baleno so a car hit on the beam at the speed of 50 km /h and baleno took the impact but the cost of repair comes out to be rs 50000 but in the case of VW polo the car right side behind the driver seat got crumpled more than the baleno more or less the same speed
so iam not able to decide for which are should I go polo or baleno . and people are saying VW polo build quality is best than Maruti baleno
plz help
woooh!! that was something new #PowerDrift 😎 i would say superb 👍
Thank you Sanket. We suggest you hang in there because there's a lot more coming!
PowerDrift sure...as I always do that 😉
I am planning to buy a baleno, what colour would you guys recommend.
You guys are simply pushing the limits of 'how a review is done'...video on video !!
Keep up the work guys !
Your kind compliments are much appreciated Chrish! :) There's more motoring content coming up!
can you say which one is a safer car in case of a crash..
Given that we can't do crash testing ourselves we are gonna have to wait on official testing results to answer your question. Hopefully soon.
How could you compare Baleno with The Polo Gt .Baleno is cheap but Polo is a class
You guys really forgot to mention about the Abarth punto, which according to my opinion is the best hot hatch.
When is the comparison between Figo S and these two cars coming out.....?
which tires would you recommend for the baleno rs? Also do you think it needs a new set of aftermarket wheels or the stock ones are good enough? #pdarmy
as always a big fan of Ten Hut's powerdrift..they way he presents is jst xtra ordinary..
u guys not less than Hollywood movies ... u make a simple review a majestic one ... kudos
Which varient of used polo should I buy and under how many km.
I have never seen such a quality review in the India market. Really appreciated.
gt TSI specifically is marketed as an cruiser as an efficient cars rather than hit hatch and suspension too is more softer compared to TDI, GT TDI
Please consider Punto Abarth as well...just to see now well these 3 cars fair against the Punto keeping performance in mind...
With 140bhp and a bigger price tag, the Punto Abarth is a notch above these cars.
PowerDrift Looking forward to compare these cars with Abarth Punto. Considering the segment (not price) Abarth punto should be compared with these. Please consider Abarth Punto.
This was such a informative and transparent video. Kudos. But my inner petrol nut is still confused as to why haven't you put the Fiat Punto Abarath in the equation?
You said you would like to change the tyres.
Which tyres would do the justice with these cars???
The new approach to car videos is really nice and engaging as compared to old ones
In terms of safety, which car is will be more safer if an accident happens ?
75% of people are not interested to buy this both cars (including me) but they still watch this video just because it's powerdrift's video
REALLY LOVE YOUR VIDEO GUYZ KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
@powerdrift ....movind towards altogether to a whole new level. pls keep on bringing these amazing side by side comparisons of cars belonging to Same category...superlikes, just a jumpstart i needed this morning to get along my day.
I own a polo and the best part is the steering wheel of the polo but it's handling isn't as good as the swift and the worst part which people barely talk about in the polo is that the seat is uncomfortable , when i drive swift the seat is way better and in polo the back support is just bad so in long journeys polo is a drag
so which is the best tyre?
powerdrift please add abarth Punto in ur comparison list...that would really make a difference
For sure as a wild card entry..for its in a different league. Next time ;)
Bro which has powerfull engine?
Suzuki Baleno RS or Volkswagen Polo
I seriously hope VW brings a roomier version of Polo in 2018 and hopefully plonks 1.4 TSI engine in the top variant - whoa, that will be a blast to drive really!!
Please use the 2017 Polo GT TSI to compare with a Baleno RS. The Polo GT TSI has a color touchscree n display Audio unit (albeit not as capable as Baleno). Most importantly, the GT TSI has 16in wheels now and has plenty of grip and an even more stable, heavier steering feel.
When it comes to the sedan wt will you choose the vento TSI or the ciaz
When's the part 2 coming? we all waiting for the closure I'm sure
Guys, your video deserves nothing but a hats off.You are truly gonna be the best and most loved channel for automobile enthusiasts and I personally fucking loved it how you finished the video with Figo sports's teaser .
Cheers mate. Thank you for the kind words
Which car has good suspension?
very creative video and good technical comparison...but see if you can reduce music volume...it was too much loud and some places it was suppressing the voice of anchors....
overall good video
What tyres do you suggest for a baleno RS?
I own VW GT TSI.
Nice package all over...
But in my case some features are missing like projector headlight, DRL, armrest, Rear disc break.
But after market option is also there for it...
So first and last choice is VW GT TSI...
You guys set a new benchmark for review and comparison of automobiles.... WOW..!
Thank you so much for the kind compliments! :D
Always a pleasure watching Powerdrift.
