#Hyundaii20N #PoloGTTSI #AutocarIndia - Auta a dopravní prostředky
TSI in manual is still a BOMB 💣
Polo is not OLD its LEGEND 🔥
Rather keep my 6 year old Punto Abarth with 10% of the features any day of the week.
Abarath is awesome man .
Congrats Hyundai on “almost”catching up to a 13 year old car 13 years later ;)
And having features of a 40lakhs rs VW at 14lakhs
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.
I will choose Volkswagen Polo GT
Whatever cars come and go but we are lover of Polo GT Tsi as owner of GT tsi I really love the power and we have clubs of Polo Gt Tsi in Hyderabad
Volkswagen Polo GT TSI anyday 💪❤️
Any new performance oriented automatic hatchback launches in India...
All auto channels: just compare it with the old Polo GT. And that's because it's still the benchmark.
VW should bring the next generation of the Polo and it would be unbeatable
Common Hyundai, get this atleast a 4 star rating in gncap and I'm convinced of the entire package.
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.
5:12 Really true because we also own a 2017 polo and there is no difference between our model and which the model they are driving
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
Hyundai even being compared with VW in terms of performance is an achievement for Hyundai!!
Polo is a beast, its an emotion, its a gem✨
Lemme tell you what I did, buy a Polo TSI MT and for the difference in price of the i20N Line, TUNE THE FREAKING CAR and you got a sleeper.
It is very nice to have two persons featuring in a comparison, should be done in every upcoming comparisons, should be interesting to see who likes what or does not like
No doubt polo is always king💥💥💥
I am driving VW Polo since 2011 and again bought another VW Polo TSI with Manual GB...still noone hatch can beat this...Even some dashing accessories can not beat VW Polo TSI.
Polo is so strong the newer ones want to be pitted against it 👏🏼
I am sure you guys can compare same old polo with i20 even after 10 years still Polo beats another car....
POLO IS LEGEND 👍👍
Polo is still the best and close to the perfect car for daily commute…Also much better value over the Korean hatch
Hyundai and Volkswagen should have to celebrate by releasing the WRC Road legal cars for consumers...
Looks like a Chennai vs Mumbai contest lol. Hyundai for me. I want space and better looks.
Also i get 6 airbags, all disc brakes & a Bose sound system!
TSI with manual is the way to go
Video start hone se pehle he bata du main polo ki taraf hu... ✌️✌️✌️
But the video results show something else, bro.
A mode to just make the i20’s engine more lively and gearbox more snappy maybe will go a long way. “Just” a software update then Hyundai! 😋
Just look at the paint quality on the polo well quality speaks for itself💯
Passing the baton? C'mon, I would still go for Polo, those funky features on i20N don't excite me much. Polo is love.❤️❤️❤️
Any upcoming video on the All New Tiguan 2021??
Interior reveil video??
No new car can harm the polo gt with mind blowing tsi motor under the hood
polo gt tsi. still the undisputed hot hatch. have been owning this since 2018 with the dsg gearbox but havent driven the 2020 model(with the torque converter). pretty sure it wont disappoint
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.
Always POLO GT TSI EVER AND EVER
Polo for life❤️
Polo is great car but to spend close to 11 lakh on road and to get a car which is 10 year old in 2021 is an issue hope they bring the facelifted polo and make it sub 4 m
Polo has been the same for past 10yrs...But i20 is evolving ...I think one day it will be the fun to drive hatch.
Polo 😎❣️😍
NLine for me. Better overall package and wider service network. It is a pleasure to drive.
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.
You have to agree that the Polo TSI manual is more fun than the automatic. I own a polo TSI highline plus manual and it's much more connected than the torque converter polo.
And here i am looking at my 5 year old Abarth Punto and smirking.
Not surprised to see huge polo fan base here....isn't it that we unintentionally watch just after seeing polo being compared with another hatchback
Polo❣️
Woah autocar peeps really know what people wanna I waited a long time for you guys to post this. Because I’m gonna book mine real sooon
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.
Polo❤️
Always VW Polo ❤️❤️❤️
Good to see you Saumil back
Polo GT TSI has a 4-star NCAP rating, better engine.
Would blindly go for a German Hatch over a Korean Hatch.
Doors of an i20 don't thud as best as a Polo's.. robust built, lesser rattle over long time. Of course it is lesser in instrumentation segment but a VW enthusiasts always a VW enthusiasts
A German model in a red dress always a dream to see my favourite car polo compared to any new models till now even if it's outdated
Polo is a more modular car…..you can fit stuff from other VWs and it’s more tuneable and comes with 3 pedals as well…..and Polo has more VFM
Just buy a skoda rapid before it leaves the market. everything that the polo has plus more space.
Come on VW..!! Bring the latest generation of Polo and no other car could beat it for another decade🔥
I would pick the polo with manual gearbox
I20 doesn't have a proper manual and for a car to be fun It should have a three pedals
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.
Very Emotional Videooooo......VW Fans Here....🙌🏼Love Hyundai As Well
12 lakh is also price of XIV700 Base varient ☺️
And older i20 was beautiful 😍
Nice review, and also does the i20 get ventilated seats?
Everyone gangsta until figo Diesel kicks in
Damnn..! His mic quality,with his voice is cinematic!!💥
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 🔥
Which one is more reliable??Hyundai or VW??As am someone who goes for reliable Honda or Toyota machines, I would like to know how good is Hyundai and VW in terms of reliability..
I would still go with
Abarth Punto . 1.4 ltr @145 bhp for the same price . So sad fiat left india .
But if you can still get a Punto , go for it .
On a Punto When u step on the gas / take corners
IT WOULD PUT A SMILE ON YOUR FACE .
Both are best and good looking❤ but for performance no one can beat polo🔥
Waiting for this comparison.
Thank you
Been waiting for this, cheers
Nice comparison
Practical ground clearance test between the two?
Brand new hot hatch launches...gets compared to polo 😂 signs of a true legend 😎
Massive respect for Hyundai! Very nice work! Sharp!
Yes. The Polo is a driver's delight.
2022 Baleno should get another RS variant! (with better build, damping, NOT A detuned engine!)
These guys are so good! Happy Happy guys! Nothing can beat POLO GT TSI
Any hatch may come and go, Polo the Beast any day
You have missed two key areas - Tuning potential (Remap only to make it easy) and Aftermarket parts.
Factor this in and the polo will walk away with it
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 👌
VW Polo GT tsi is a benchmark.....More than 10 years😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Fantastic review. 👌👌👌👌
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=best engine,best gearbox,best build,fun to drive,low cost🔥🔥🔥enough to me
Ford Figo or freestyle Diesel will kill these 2 machines anyday.. Ford is love ❤️
I have a Vento TSI from 2016.
I don’t know a single person who would upgrade from Polo/Vento to i20.
I am personally looking forward to Taigun instead.
Guys, nothing, nothing can beat the polo, in drive and fun. No hatchback near it, no sedan near it, and go for the manual.
And that door thud.
This duo was great new and nice
It's good to have a car to compare.
Wish we get the vw golf R here in india
Everyone is spamming polo gt tsi because it was the legend in this segment
but in the new era I would go for i20 n line 🤷♂️
You should have brought Fiat Abarth Punto..not in production but still a strong competitor for both... freaking killer engine awesome steering response heavy cornering ability..what to say it was a real Scorpion King!
Honest Review,Superb Team
Always VW
Can you please compare N9 with 2019 Ford Figo 1.5L petrol AT 123 ps. I guess in terms of engine and handling it will be equivalent.
i have been driving a GT for last 6 years and it has never disappointed me a single day - i know it small cabin wise and doesnt have all fancies but the engine performance rocks it all
Heart says polo ..but mind says why not i20 N line..
Wonder how punto would fit in
Love to see that machine dusting these 2
Polo has creep function, which moves the car when you release the brake
Pls do the comparison bw the Nissan kicks 1.3 vs skoda kushaq 1.5 turbo
Does this mean are they going to discontinue the Polo?
Bring in the next gen Polo or the EU Fabia here to India…and they will be hard to even compete with for the next 10 years 😂😂😂 anyways this i20 toy car is costing 13 L on road all the way … so VW group : please bring in your big guns for the small house 😊
I have both these cars, Gt tsi DSG and i20 Nline
