  • In the blue corner is the Hyundai i20 N Line. In the red corner is the Volkswagen Polo GT TSI. Can the best driving Hyundai hatchback better the OG fun-to-drive hatchback? Saumil Shah and Nikhil Bhatia make case for their favourites.

    Polo is more fun without a doubt, but the Hyundai is more livable in my opinion. But considering its 11 years old and it's still keeping up with the latest ones and beating them at some criterias is just amazing.

    All auto channels: just compare it with the old Polo GT. And that's because it's still the benchmark.

    For me it’s Polo. I chose the manual TSI (Blue) over the N line.
    P.S: I had a Polo TDI for 5 years earlier

    I have the POLO GT TSI 2020 model and have been driving it for a whole year now, the creep function being a bit faster than other Automatics is actually a boon! I love that it goes a bit faster than other cars because I dont have to accelerate in traffic. you get used to it so much that when you drive any other automatic, you'll hate having to accelerate in traffic. I love my Polo GT so much that even after a year, I still feel excited when I drive it every single day.

  • @vanshc5923
    @vanshc5923 2 года назад +31

    Hyundai should release a stripped-down version of the N-Line without some of the bells and whistles, and a manual transmission for a more analogue hot-hatch experience. Don't know how well that would work in India though

  • @abhiastic8353
    @abhiastic8353 2 года назад +20

    I will choose i 20 over polo, bcoz i 20 has maximum features, good performance, etc. We can't choose cars only on the basis of which is faster and which is good at performance. U can see when there is a small race between i20 and polo, u find that there is not much gap. But however polo wins. Polo has only performance engine and a german build quality. But we can't left i20 bcoz it is little bit overpriced and have less performance than polo. We have to just travel from A to B. And in that it can also run at 100+ km/hr. So, performance check is only best suitable for races. Millions of i20 has sold in india. So here comes the main part. That's why i only choose i20 best suitable and a family car with features, comfort, power and good build quality 👌

    It's the Polo that I would pick over the Hyundai. I test drove the TSI and the N-Line, that extra 10 horses and the i20 still felt slower than the Polo, not to forget the superior build on the Polo.

    I own a 2019 VW golf in germany with 1.0 TSI, that generates 115PS and 200 Nm from 2000 rpm. It pulls amazingly. It's a gem. I hope they tune the next gen Polo in india with this configuration. With polo's compact structure and handling and this configuration, it will blow away every other hatchback in competition.

    One more thing to add is That the TSI engine is tuner-friendly! Can handle stage 2 tune without a fuss and even lowered springs. I can buy a polo and a stage 2 map plus cobra lowering springs and it will beat the I20 anyway.

  • @nandandeshpande1277
    @nandandeshpande1277 2 года назад +5

    The Polo caters to a very specific part of the population while the i20 caters to a much wider sector of the population being more tech and feature heavy as well as having an adequate level of power and torque and having decent ride and handling.

    Not like Volkswagen Ind who are not giving polo next generation 😪 in indian market.

  • @vish91

  • @rakshitkumardixit88
    @rakshitkumardixit88 2 года назад +3

    Can add stiffer suspension and lowering springs to the polo and install a steering wheel with paddles which is plug and Play
    Yes the polo is outdated but the 1.0 TSI engine is a killer and even just a simple Stage 1+ Remap it'll be absolutely amazing 🔥

    The Polo has a very vocal and loyal fan base, for a reason no doubt!!
    But for a lot of us who are not going corner carving every weekend or pushing the limits of the car, it is a very hard sell. It does not have a lot of features that are now considered bare minimum in 2021. Features like a reversing camera, rear AC vents etc.
    And for those reasons, my vote is for the N line.

    Polo may not have all those fancy features, but still it's the best hatchback ever!!! It may be a 10year old and outdated, yet it's the best looking car , no car can beat in its segment!!! I prefer polo for its killer looks and enthusiasts feels!!!
