VOLKSWAGEN POLO - A piece of German Engineering 



When we talk of Volkswagen, Polo, Vento comes to our mind. So today in this blog we are going to talk about Polo. Polo comes under the premium hatchback segment. The segment which people have started to neglect in recent times. Today, people are desirous to get a compact SUV. However, people forget about the fact that SUVs have higher body roll as compared to sedans and hatchbacks. 

Volkswagen Polo starts at Rs.6.45 lakhs and goes up to 10.25 lakhs. Polo is offered only with a petrol engine the famous 1 liter TSI 3 cylinder unit which produces 110 bhp of power and 175 nm of torque. Polo was the most powerful hatchback, however, after the launch of the new i20, i20 has taken the centre stage in the power department. Polo has an overall length of 3971mm, a width of 1682mm, and a wheelbase of 2470mm.

Conclusion - Now, if you are more concerned about the performance of the car, the car is not going to make you sad, and somehow it feels more powerful than the i20. So who should consider this car, if you are one who loves small cars and performance as well, then Polo will be one of the greatest choices you could make. Volkswagen Polo is based on German Engineering, so the driving dynamics are not compromised. Polo has not topped the list of the most selling cars anytime, however, only the car lovers will have it inside the garage. In addition, the car has 4 star safety rating in the GNCAP and various accidents have proved that. The department where Polo lacks is the space inside the car. We all know that Polo is designed as per European standards. So you will have to sacrifice rear-seat space cause if the driver is 6 feet or above that then the rear passengers will have to adjust at the rear.

I think each car has its pros and cons, so Polo also has some, like space which is its biggest con and performance, build and driving dynamics its pros. So, as a customer, you need to see what your needs are and then decide whether to go for this car or not.

Hyundai has never compromised on its fit and finish and the quality of plastics used in the cars. So let's have a look at the new i20 and find out why is going to be a better option to choose i20 over the trendy compact SUVs. Stand out features of the all-new Hyundai i20. - Wireless charging with cooling  - 10.25-inch touchscreen - blue ambient lighting 1. Engine  Now, the Hyundai i20 has a lot of features, talking about the technical part of the car it gets 1.2 -liter kappa petrol and the 1.0ltr turbo petrol engine , if I get a choice to pick one, I would pick the 1.0 ltr petrol. The turbo engine produces 120 ps of power and 170nm of torque. If you want a car mainly for the cities and occasional holiday trips the 1.2 makes more sense than the turbo petrol. Reasons to avoid 1.0ltr turbo petrol Engine 1...

Next-Gen Maruti Suzuki Ertiga - Desined to Impress

Image
Maruti Suzuki Ertiga - Technology meets style When we talk about a family car, we are always in the search of a 7 or maybe an eight-seater but, what about the budget, mileage, service, and safety. Now to answer all these questions asked by me, I think Maruti has already launched a car, way back in 2012. It's the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga, sold as XL6 by Nexa and they are planning to launch XL7 as well. I think Ertiga is one of the best family seven-seater available in the market. So let's have a look at some of the technical specifications and features of the car. There is only one engine on offer, the 1462cc petrol engine, with two fuel options, petrol, and CNG. However, CNG is only available in the LXI and VXI, manual. Mileage of the car is more than expected by a seven-seater, 17.90kmpl for the petrol and 26.08 km/kg for the CNG variant. 1. Engine and transmission  (ZXI Plus Petrol) Engine type                  - K15 hybrid Displacement...
