  • 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.

    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.

    @csgautham Před 2 lety +177

  • @devashishpatwardhan3
    @devashishpatwardhan3 Před 2 lety +66

    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.

  • @nikhilgoudar5761
    @nikhilgoudar5761 Před 2 lety +22

    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

  • @vanshc5923
    @vanshc5923 Před 2 lety +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

    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.

    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

  • @tanujsoni3057
    @tanujsoni3057 Před 2 lety +6

    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.

  • @chamankudmarbettu5675
    @chamankudmarbettu5675 Před 2 lety +19

    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.

    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.

    I20 doesn't have a proper manual and for a car to be fun It should have a three pedals

  • @nandandeshpande1277
    @nandandeshpande1277 Před 2 lety +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.

    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 🔥

    But if you can still get a Punto , go for it .

    IT WOULD PUT A SMILE ON YOUR FACE .

  • @abhiastic8353
    @abhiastic8353 Před 2 lety +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 👌

    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.
