- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ส.ค. 2024
- The country’s go-to hatchback when it comes to the #ThrillOfDriving - the Volkswagen Polo GT TSI now comes with a new 1-litre TSI engine and a slick 6-speed torque converter; a combination that makes the Polo retain its fun-to-drive credentials. But there's a new kid on the block; the Hyundai i20 which is also offered with a 1-litre turbo-petrol engine and a 7-speed DCT along with a 6-speed manual. For over a decade, the Polo has been the best in the segment when it comes to dynamics, but yes, it has started showing its age. Does that mean the more expensive and modern i20 Turbo makes for a better package? Sirish Chandran drives them back-to-back, to find out.

Thrill of driving .. the feeling of beating the danger
Polo
Race against time
The thrill of driving for any petrol head would be the intense joy that comes from sitting behind the wheel, burning gas, mile after mile, not knowing what the next turn will bring or how the next road will be. That suspense, that thrill, that feeling that you get on each and every trip on four wheels is something that you can never experience else where! A thrill that comes only and only with driving!
You can know or not know how a car works but still enjoy the shove into the seat everytime you step on the gas... This for me is thrill of driving!
10 years old, yet the Polo still puts a big fat smile on my face!!!
Bro please do a similar comparison between ford freestyle diesel and polo gt tsi manual

i20 does have tilt and telescopic steering adjustment.

I just spent my hard earned money on a car which is 10 year old has dated design and dated interior but I wasn't confused to the slightest im my mind.
When you choose driving dynamics and better engineering over design and features this is what I call Thrill of driving.
This video has made me proud of my decision and puts a smile on my face.
Always happy to make our viewers smile. Stay tuned for more such grin-inducing videos.
Polo has a timeless design approach, that's why it still looks relevant and keep looking over coming time. Think about a 10 years old Hyundai car. The new i20 has a with-it design approach and hence it will start looking older in a year or so.
Polo is polo.... the power pack
Don't compare any thing with 'polo' polo is polo okay
That's what a real driver buys.. Congratulations..
Wow. Polo just smoked latest gen i20 in to dust 😀. What an enginnering master piece.
The polo did 0-100 in a hair above 11.2 seconds and the i20 in hair above 12 seconds. Can't say the polo exactly smoked the i20.
@@Navinkumar-hn3nd i guess its other way around. 😀
@@harinderverma6771 Yeah, silly mistake😂 but I wanted to point out that its not a big difference.
@@Navinkumar-hn3nd ha ha yes dude.. i know. All just for fun 😀😃. At the end of the day, both are great cars 😀
@@Navinkumar-hn3nd it actually smoked, what do you expect with the same displacement turbocharged, to maintain atleast 5 sec gap?
I20 has more power and is also lighter. But I don't understand where did all that power go. What is the use of DCT when it can't shift quicker? The Koreans may provide most creature comforts but no-one can beat the engine and gearbox tuning of the Germans...
Germans are still up there when it comes to dynamics. But the Koreans are getting close!
Dct also have an account inherent lag of about a sec when comapred to the torque converter to preserve the clutch
That's why DSG have been removed from the older polo gt, it gave the exact lag what now this dct is giving. Germans are always one step ahead of these copycats.
Well thats not why dsg was removed from polo,it was removed because the dsg it used the dq200 was never a reliable transmission to begin with The mechatronics would often fail causing an expensive repair bill.And dsg is a patented technology used by VW group .what hyundai uses is a. Dct .Sure both have twin clutches but the way they work is different.
Dct will give better fuel economy than torque converter.
East or West
Polo is the best 💥
Welcome to the Polo club
Polo is still still superior mechanically.
The Polo's chassis is more communicative. But the i20 is superior in a lot of other areas!
@@callsigncrusader9877 what was the on road price?
@@callsigncrusader9877 thats because vw tdi diesel engine turn into a tractor after 2-3 years, not to forget the emission scandal of vw in the US market..
You can console yourself. VW is not selling the new model in india and cheating the public with almost nil features on the 10 year old model.
@@callsigncrusader9877 bhai Mai Sonipat se hoon mujhe bhi polo amt leni hai apna experience batao
Old doesn't mean dated/bad.
New doesn't mean better/good.
Quicker car doesn't mean better car either.
Absolutely bro
@@SPM_SS let's see when i20's ncap results come out. No way i20 is gonna match polo in safety rating too...
@@arunc1982 Yes. Because anything less than 4stars is a death sentence. That's why every Hyundai owners is in the ground. That's why everyone from the days of 800 and Padmini are in heaven now. And all Tata owners are gonna live to be 100. I used to drive a getz and I died. Now I drive a Tata and I have two extra lives now.
@@SPM_SS Not sure what you want to convey. Take care.
Thrill of driving for me means feeling every bit of the throttle and the road while being responsible...
Also thanks to EVO for educating ppl on driving the right way
That's the correct way. Safety first, thrills later!
What about polo safety compare with I 20
I would still pick the POLO GT over the new i20. Just the sheer pleasure of driving it offers is unmatchable by Hyundai or Maruti. Also thank you EVO INDIA for this comparison. 👍👍
You're welcome. Stay tuned for more videos.
Heh. Maruti did match it with the Baleno RS. It did a faster lap on Autocar's 2018 track day....against a DSG 1.2 Polo GT. It's also equally quick to 100.
False, first 2 generations of the Swift were much better driver's car than the Polo or the Polo GT
VW GT TSI ALWAYS❤❤❤❤
@@Josh-ft3ri German hype works differently my friend.
Swift is very popular and the desi car enthusiast mind cannot do with something so popular.

@@evoIndia keep going , team we will always with you....
Currently drive an I20 and I have taken a good test drive of the Polo GT. Thanks Evo India for your excellent reviews and I agree with the reviewer as I had a similar experience driving these 2.
Going for VW GT this January as I am done with I20.
last month i purchased my 3rd VW car after upgrading one by one...ek bar vw kya khreed li hmesha ussi ka hi fan ho gya mai 😁..meri family mein ab 2polo petrol hai or one vento diesel...teeno fun to drive ❤️
ROBUST PERFORMANCE, PUCHY HANDLING AND PERFECT SHIFTING GEARBOX are The aspects that combines to give THE THRILL OF DRIVING. AND Volkswagen Does it BEST!!
Truly German!
*Polo does it
0:58 it may be a decade old, but I think the Polo looks sharper than the new i20
Only in videos😂.. polo looks like maruti 800 in real.. look at the sholderlines that alto used to get in prev model
Yeah the Indian spec non-N version I20 looks quite idiotic. And the Polo still looks smart, despite it's 2 generation late in India.
Polo is polo that's it. No comparison with Korean
It has an identity of its own!
Dont compare like Korean there are some Hyndai cars that smoke VW's... Koreans dont suck outside the country....
Hyundai is the third most largest car manufacturer in the world ,next to vw...so it worths...and even in most cases,it is obvio better than vw polo🙂
You Indians wont understand this....as your mindset is limited to India🙂🙂
@@iamgod3224 in India Hyndai is different ... Korean company is very reliable also kia ... Also Hyndai performance vehicles are much better also its a lot cheaper than vw cars such as golf
@@raihan5405 yes...ìt is😊
Its after all German legend. The way it launches. Hyundai can nicely see that Polo badge from behind.
Polo is the benchmark as always.
Hahhaha Nice one brother 👍🇩🇪😍
With some new age features and its all ready to take on new cars. Exterior look is class apart and I don't think any need to disturb that. It's a great looking hatch
@@arunabrahamchacko3732 in India
In India, especially the cities the thrill of driving could mean only one thing...Traffic signal - right in the signal 1st row - signal turns green after an eternity - 1st off the block - in lead for the 1st 50 meters after which everything is the same, no matter which car you own. The sheer torque you experience off the block (head hitting the headrest at a pace which wakes your co-passenger from slumber) and being the 1st to touch around 60 km. That's my thrill of driving experience. Seat belts for all passengers are a must for me.:)
Sometimes simplicity overpowers extravagncy. 😉
Did you just say that the new Gen i20 is on par with the 10 year old Polo 🤷🏻♂️
Now we know why VW hasn’t introduced new gen polo in India.
vw is the best.
Ford, Volkswagen, Honda ... I personally consider only these three brands when it comes to cars.
Why so? Tell us why you like these three particularly.
@@evoIndia ford for sheer handling and turbo diesels are gem. Build quality good for vw and ford. Vw safety and dynamics are best in class. Honda for naturally aspirated reliable petrol engines
@@DocArneja exactly.. Definitely in terms of strong build which assures safety is the VW..
Hyundai can't even come closer especially recent cars are built to features nothing else..
Okay you could include Honda and VW, but not Ford🤡 bro, especially the Ford's sold in India. I too love Honda,(Ford👎),VW, etc.
Palio S10 gtx 1.6 ...2002 gave the exceptional thrill of driving..... canary yellow...Sachin Tendulkar signature.... number badging.....side skirts....rear spoiler design unique....truly italian
Pure growling sound......
..thrill goes on😍
Thrill means engine pulling you back when paddle is pressed..
Shove-in-the-back acceleration!
This was the comparison I was waiting for..
We hope it was worth the wait!
"Thrill of driving" to me means giving it the beans and enjoying the drive at the same time
We live for the thrills!
Thrill of driving begins when Mom starts shouting from behind.
Volkswagen cars have timeless design. Even though it's 10 years old, it still looks better than most cars in its segment.
The torque converter on the polo eats up the DCT on the tin can 🤣🤣
It's afterall an Aisin unit from Japan. It's to be expected.
The DSG on the other hand...lol that won't last nearly as long as the Hyundai.
@@pranavp386 can you explain the reason?
@@srinivaskumarreddy120 Reason for?
@@pranavp386 DSG won't last as long as Hyundai
@@srinivaskumarreddy120 Oh the DQ200 is notorious for mechatronic and clutch pack failures...
The DCT in the Hyundai is not really out in the market for long and there are problems creeping up as we speak...but it hasn't been on the same level as the DSG.
8:27 But still looks classy and age less. Still safe and still german.
Couldn't have said it better myself.
The POLO still looks as fresh as it was a decade old. The new i20 isn't as good looking as the old one. The front of i20 is not in sync with the back of i20.
I'm a Hyundai fan myself. I love their cars. But when it comes to this comparison, nothing can take the place of the amazing Polo. Features of the other car might be better, but the drive can never be taken
Lesson learnt " a faster car is a safer car"😎 @11:02
Polo TSI for the sheer driving pleasure. i20 for the feature lovers. End of story.
That's a bit unfair for the i20. It's a great overall car as well!
When you say great overall package, it should meet best of both the worlds. Sadly, i20 with its soft suspension and light steering isn’t confident inspiring as the German and it misses out in handling (I’ve test driven the new edition briefly for some 30mins alone in mixed traffic conditions which had a long open stretch as well). Enthusiasts will look elsewhere, but agreed it’s a nice feature rich car. It’s all about how the buyer prioritise his/her requirements. Isn’t it? 🙂
@@ajikpsThink again bro, I20 N-line is the right competitor for Polo GT TSI, the I20 Turbo should simply be compared with a Polo TSI(non-GT). And yeah the Polo R should compete with an I20-N.
VW never over does the mods, rather keeps the cosmetics simple and a great drive feel.
For an instance just take a look at the alloys
No diamond cut alloys, nothing. But still looks classic and sturdy.
Thrill of driving is the ability to push your car to its healthy limits through proper communication of its dynamics while on the run. A Maruti 800 in a small town, cutting through irregular traffic at a steady 60kmph is as much fun as a PoloGT on hill roads or an M Car on the highways. And thanks @Evo for being there for us enthusiasts, to share this thrill of driving!
Manual polo does the 100 under 10s. Best petrol : Polo Diesel:Figo Blu
Turbo power!
I20 cannot beat the polo gti in terms of engine! Amazing engine.. My daily driver it is! POLO GT TSI
😂😂😂😂
Bro😂 Polo GTI cant be compared with these tincans !!. It is a shame they tried polo gt with this
Nice car, bro.👍👌.
Everybody gangsta' until the Evo team decides to experiment the THRILL OF DRIVING 💯🤩
Drop a gear and disappear ... That's my thrill of driving 😍🌀
Well said!
Bought the polo tsi AT after this review...feel like driving the entire day😀
The tires were screaming for mercy all throughout. You are the only guys who can create this type of content and I love you for that. Can't believe the polo still holding on even after so many years. It would've given a better show if you brought the manual but the automatic variant is also good enough.
I have a twisty narrow road near me. To me the thrill of driving is thrashing my car/bike up and down the hill before sunrise so that everyone else is asleep and I have the road all for me. That's a cool shirt you are wearing and I would really like one. So please gift me😁
Thanks, we're glad you liked it. Stay tuned for more such cool videos.
Nothing beats a gt tsi legend ❤️🔥
The slight resistance in the accelerator pedal, the bounce back of the clutch, the thunk of the gear shifting, and the purring of an engine, this is what the thrill of driving means to me. It’s about all the feedback that the car offers from the steering, the tyres, and the chassis.
Well expressed!

*RELIABLE* ??? That too the *GERMANS* ? 😂
You include "Indian" with the term "German". Actually a comparison between Polo TSI GT with I20 N-line(if it's launched in India) will make more sense than comparing it with Altroz i-turbo, honestly.
@@pranavp386 Still German's do care for quality, even though it's not the most reliable.
@@johndavidson3424 "Percieved" quality. A car has to run properly first. Everything else is secondary.
was waiting for this comparison..as always nice one Sirish Sir..Germans are the standard when it comes to the thrill of driving..a 10 year old car is still the best when you compare it with the new generation 'gadget' cars being launched..
He's getting better with age isn't he?
@@evoIndia absolutely Yes
Obviously VW makes Thrill & Fun to ride
True, all Volkswagen cars are dynamically polished
Lol there are some Hyndai car that smoke ... Dont compare with vw vs hyndai
So THIS is where the RCD330 comes from... Just recently bought a radio just like the one that's in the Polo and installed it in my 2015 Beetle, and it's absolutely magnificent upgrade from the old RNS315 the car had from the factory.
Great comparison video and cheers from the USA! 🇺🇲

Thrill of driving- The feeling Sirish has when he stops his description for a fraction of a second when the tyres are working at 17:25
Feel it before you express it!
Legend for a reason 🙌🏻 Respect it’s The Polo GT
"A faster car is a safer car" ,well said ,but most people in indian roads won't get this and do drag racing with trucks trying to overtake having no idea how dangerous it is.
I personally talked out a friend of mine from buying a polo 1L MPI and made him pick a 1.5TDI instead, which he loves❤️
@SirishChandran You are one of the most unique automotive journalist in today's era.
We agree!
Polo is really enthusiastic ❤️ ......
Polo over i20 anyday for driving enthusiasts. Great review from evo team.
As per brochure, i20 has tilt and telescopic steering.🤔
Will 2021 rapid/vento come with 1.5 TSI+DSG in higher variants like SUV's from India 2.0??
Please reply.🙏🙏
Hey Skoda hasn't revealed the powertrain options yet. But it would be great fun if those cars get the 1.5 TSI!
Would be fun if Rapid wears an RS badge with 1.5TSI under the hood 🔥
@@ajikps Absolutely agree - Rapid with 1.4/1.5 TSI would be a fantastic FTD car!!
That 10 year old kid just kicked the ass off a relatively new born i20. German engineering. Proud owner of the Volkswagen Jetta 2.0 TDI.
I have driven a Polo GTi which is till date the fastest car I've ever driven. But the sheer instant Turbo spool with an easy 196NM from my Ritz's 1.3 DDiS after the 2000RPM mark defines my ideology of "Driving Thrill" 🙌
The 1.3 DDiS was a legendary engine. Sad it's discontinued.
ford Tdci engine is one of the best in giving real thrill of driving
@@nesharsudhakar2293 Yes my brother has the 2018 Figo S with 1.5 TDCi and there's almost no turbo lag. I LOVE THAT CAR BUT I FEEL THE ENGINE COULD HAVE BEEN REFINED EVEN MORE. The BS6 variant is much more refined or so I have heard.
Polo went from dsg to torque converter , i10 went from torque converter to dct. It’s rather clear who’s the winner here.
Who?
When ppl say Hyundai i20 is feature loaded, it makes me feel like “what is the point in buying a premium smartphone which can’t handle calls properly” 🤣🤣
And in general Polo is not a paper car like i20 🔥🔥
Driving is a car is nothing less than a sport for me..accelerating, picking gaps, some calculated risks, that kick of over taking....and much more....For me, driving is a passion and i think racing should be encouraged more in India..we have immense talent here!!!
Thrill of driving to me is enjoying the dynamics of the car, the handling, gear ratios, torque and power output along with the chasis control which puts a smile on face, the smoothness of the gear box. How the car responds to a driver's input all this adds up to give me a thrill to drive a car.
Well expressed!
Polo gt with DSG, then i20 will pee.. 😂😂...
True 👍😂
New Polo with the 1-litre TSI and the torque converter feels quicker compared to the DSG.
@@evoIndia yeah 1.0 TSi ..engine wise it's refined and tuned to perfect than that of older model. But the torque converter transmission, its not as much as quicker than that of DSG gearbox. Torque converter lags the response of the driver. It replicates the driver's need after a interval to respond as compared to older DSG gearbox, which is perfectly an enthusiastic transmission. The new Volkswagen 1.0tsi+dsg transmission is the best couples..

@Sirish Chandran, I have been Using Maruti car for last 9 years and have driven around 1.8 Lakh. Now people like you made us the feel that Safety is more important than style. So you made me to take a decision to “buy a Machine and Not a Gadget”. Today I will get my new Polo GT TSI AT in hand. Really excited and happy that you are making changes in peoples life.
Drinking game : number of times they say 'thrill of driving' 😜
Haha! The counting will take forever!
And the winner is... *POLO*
Thriller driving is when you are in one way with CNG Car and you don't want to be behind the cars. So you continuously overtaking with your heart in hand...
'The purring of the manual engine pushing you back in the seat with a smile and still wanting more' is what the thrill of driving means to me! Hoope you echo the same :-)
Once again Polo nailed it...!!! Retained the crown...!!!
Thrill of driving= TORQUE
Quarter mile at a time ;)

The good thing is the confidence while driving,safety and throttle feel is lit 🔥

@@dudetrolls6974 what happened??I heard petrol is underpowered..That's why I thought to choose diesel
for those who wants bold looking and raw power,best handling most powerful hatchback in its segment i believe polo is always the King of them all.
Thrill of driving to means.... everything from how the car responds to the steering input (if you point it to one direction...it should obey without any hesitation)and how smooth the gearbox is when you shift each time expecting the car to reward you with more power and torque....but all this when you feel cocooned in the cabin... knowing that the seat is going to hold back you no matter how hard you push/turn the car.

To me thrill of driving means enjoying every moments of driving. It is not pushing it harder but feeling every turns, bumps, and traffic.
Not the traffic please!
I20 is simply a disign disaster, polo even though a decade old deign its classy and cool
Don't compare polo gt with these toys car's... Polo gt is counted with BMW series and audi etc
Exactly

Thrill means it is the thing which is experienced by driving a car and thrill can't be obtained by everyone it can be obtained by who really loves driving!
And by driving a capable car!

Thank you! Stay tuned for more such enthusiast-focused videos.
HaHAHA......NO matter how hard Hyundai tries , the I20 will never ever beat the polo in its lifetime........
VW is VW .
Very well compared, Shirish and team !!! VW Polo GT Turbocharged Stratified Injection is an engineering marvel. Timeless looks!! 7-speed DSG needs no introduction. I feel earlier 1.2 GT TSI was better as it was a 4-cylinder motor, engine got 16 valves to breathe in and out which leads to negligible NVH in a turbocharged engine.
With going through all headaches, Ford & VW discontinued dual clutches on Ecosport and Polo, respectively. Koreans have now jumped in with dual clutches. Torque converters mated to “4-cylinder” turbocharged engines are still a great combination. i20 is for Elite and Polo is for Enthusiasts, but ‘folks’ here now want futuristic looks, better after sales too from a “Folkswagen” car!!!
Thrill Of Driving is.... When I don’t drive fast, but fly slow ;)
Like they say, Heros come and go But legends Never Die!!😎 Polo is still the benchmark for a affordable Hot Hatch 🔥
