  • The Mahindra XUV700 and Volkswagen Polo make for an unlikely pairing, even less so on a drag strip. But very similar 0-100kph times and power-to-weight ratios meant there was a case to bring them together and boy, did they deliver on entertainment!

    Whatever car comes, POLO is still the Hatchback Ruler in India🔥🔥and Mahindra is very very close with it's 1700kgs of weight.......XUV700🔥

    Xuv 700 is no slouch. It's very impressive for a car of this Size! What an Engine.

    Polo should have been put against 2.0 MT that'd have been crazy and fair

    its so impressive that a diesel car which weights 700 kilos more than the petrol polo, is almost close to it .

  • @amitkini5753
    @amitkini5753 2 года назад +53

    Petrol XUV please not this one
    BTW : Looks at that Merc camera car , no fuss!

  • @anuanvesh5678
    @anuanvesh5678 2 года назад +31

    guys XUV700 impressed me to the moon and back, for its size and for its tyres width its a commendable performance, first thing's first, i want to thank the indian auto makers like tata and mahindra for achieving standards that can beat up international car standards out there....

  • @hashikali3828
    @hashikali3828 2 года назад +171

    As wheel size is bigger, can't put all the torque to acceleration against small wheel one. And aerodynamics.Also I wonder how auto lost to manual. If polo is auto with torque converter it must be even faster. Petrol is a petrol is a petrol. High engine speed beat torque.

  • @chiragjain5838
    @chiragjain5838 2 года назад +70

    The result would be different if their was state of the art petrol engine in xuv700 🔥🔥🔥🔥

  • @fadilrahman2157

    Now we want more drag races like this with XUV 7OO!!!

  • @srivatsasrikant6915
    @srivatsasrikant6915 2 года назад +101

    XUV700 Petrol would have probably won this.
    200 HP is not a joke, that too by an Indian Engine 🔥🔥🇮🇳🇮🇳

  • @parththakkar9748
    @parththakkar9748 2 года назад +29

    700 kilograms makes a huge difference and + the German engine is stronger in polo but i would pick Xuv because speed is not everything.

  • @SudhanshuSrivastava007
    @SudhanshuSrivastava007 2 года назад +6

    Extra ordinary performance from Xuv 700 because it’s a suv and so it has to face the aerodynamics restrictions.

  • @taranshupattnaiktp3335
    @taranshupattnaiktp3335 2 года назад +4

    That was really close...XUV700 managed to close the gap just by a margin, but Polo really is the king.Not bad at all for XUV700 with lots of torque..

    @sundarchip 2 года назад +29

    The fact that the XUV700 is 700 kg heavier and was still only just behind the Polo makes it the real winner here.

    Such sub-second leads cannot be called a win..!! In real life scenario you may not see much of diff...but Polo being smaller is likely to be more agile.

    @SyedMYahya 2 года назад +12

  • @babolat000
    @babolat000 2 года назад +8

    Obviously this was not an apple to apple comparison. An apple was made to compare with a pineapple. It's a short drag race. So cars like polo, Punto Abarth, kicks has higher chance of winning against an suv. If this comparison happened like a straight road (more distance), quite easy to conclude that a powerful diesel car like XUV 700 will win hands down. This race was for fun; no doubt but the intention has to be clearly stated in the video. If not, everyone will not understand the full aspect.
