Zika virus came and went, Swine flu came and went now corona will come and go but VW polo will look the same 😅
Lol😂
Exactly! Why just whyyyyyy?! -_-
Let it look so...but they could have provided a bit better interior design.
Still the best drivers car in 2010 and even in 2020.
No company bought a betterr drivers car then this into indian market , even after 10 years
Actually new generation already a chuka Hain ...but they will not release bec of high taxes.....cost could be touch newer i20 13lakh
Autocar SHOULD also mention safety ratings in all their reviews.
I believe vw polo is just 4 stars and not 5. So it's as good as Tiago, not any better
4:08 :-)
@@craigslist1323 For your reference, the polo is 190 Kgs heavier than any other car in the segment. That should for all reasons give the density of the gauge. Moreover, it is an experience better felt than explained.
@X Y how will that not help?
@@vijaytarshitnekkanti82 dude why should weight matter as much as the crash zones? A bolero is a 0 despite being heavier
Bs4 to bs6 polo differences:-
1. 4 to 3 cylinder
2. Dct to tc gear box
3. 1.2L to 1.0L engine
4. Marginal 5hp more power
5. No arm rest, no rear ac vente, no led, key less entery, button start, leather seats, Sun roof, apple car play needs a cable, no wireless charging, no back seat space
6. Same design / interior
7. High maintenance
8. Also same price as old one! (Clearly indicates that VW is maximizing their margins)
Reading the comments here, there are still some fans of this car. But buying this car in 2020 only sends the wrong message to the manufacturer. They may take indian market for granted. This is just not done by VW and the market must teach them that.
I am a huge polo and VW fan. But this just shows VW is not serious about Indian market. They hold just 2% of the market share and don't care about increasing it either. SAD.
Whereas india has become the 4th largest market for automobiles in the world.
Also @autocar not sure if there is a highline AT variant. Can you confirm.
OMG!!! Wow this Polo looks so different from the previous versions!!!!!!!!!! -_-
That car name is bigger than it's engine
😂😂
Oh yeah sooóoo different........old look is better in my opinion
..said no-one
Still safer than the latest maruti.. and a lot more fun to drive despite the missing dsg
No matter what but.. Manual gearboxes are the best...and it feels much more alive and enthusiastic
Ride the polo gt tsi with dsg gearbox and feel the difference 😉😉
Until you get stuck in traffic for 2 hours and regret your entire existence
if vw increase back space ,No car can compare with this
Don't call ur self a petrol head if u feel that polo is outdated . a Volkswagen is one of a kind . those who drives it knows that no car can replace it. You can buy Hyundai, tata or Suzuki. But owning polo is a privilege
I thought it was a 2010 VW Polo review.
Thank God I saw the upload date 😂
Every one say about design. But I would say that vw polo design never old.
Two words....PURE ELEGANCE.
Oldest car in its segment.
But still the best drivers cars in the segment .
No other car can match its build quality, highway syability, acceleration, road manner, ride quality . Even after 10 years of its launch in india.
Rear seat space is very less, one of the biggest drawback of polo
I personally like how it's exterior look
New car's exteriors are weird
This car is a modern day classic. I'm sure after 20-30 years this gen of Polo would fetch huge money for its timeless styling.
Petrol nai bachega tab tak .
Doesn’t matter if it’s faster, I am not paying 11 lakhs on road for a 15 year old design. It’s a dinosaur
still looks better than it's competition
this is the best looking solid car in india specially in red colour
DSG anyday over this. Better go for manual TSI over Torque converter 👍
The issue with dsg is its reliability. So it's great for 5 years. As long as people set their expectations right, it's great to own
Diesel TDI was legend
Just now polo came to my mind...and you guys uploaded a video!❤😍
I've always dreamed to have this car in my garage
Even tho I'm a bike guy
Polo, polo and polo, the best drivers Car💯
Fiat punto thinks otherwise.
Fiat Palio S10 gtx sports was a power racer.... design way ahead of time ... aerodynamic side fenders....rear spoiler unique...side skirts.. Canary yellow ...500 limited edition with Sachin signature....the steering was crisp....raw 100 bhp ... Italian design ...2002💓💓💓...ohhh did not mentioned the growling sound......wrrrrroooommmmmmmm
I like the transmission...no problem with a TC,even the new M5 went from DCT to TC
POLO GT the absolute Fun to drive car...No car can match GT.
Why I am still stuck in 2010.
Will buy one if the European model hits India, no matter what the price. Till then it's a big no for this 2010 model.
I am a i10 owner, but my most fav car is polo... just watching for Polo...
It’s old but it brings out the youth in you
Just change the instrumental cluster, add reverse camera, completely backed out cabin. That's it it's perfect
i have both polo nd vento..both cars are 🔥🔥
Love Polo bcz of its build quality and design ❤️
Also performace
Drive tooo😍
My dad still loves his polo GT 1.6 tdi than our volvo v40 :)
I don't know why i still prefer this 10 year old car more than those car's came under these year's.
Gearbox Swapped but the D3 to D2 jerk continues. Thats really sad :/
does it have grinding noise ? like shifting without engaging clutch in other cars, its happening in my GT DSG 1.2 (2019 DEC model) , am pretty sad about it. Not often but rarely and you have to pay attention to it with no music inside car. Is that the same thing happening for you?
If you have music on, this is not audible. I read all VW forums and they says the same word JERKING, just wanted to know how it sounds like
Nothing related to sound in my 2015 GT TSI. U feel a JHATKA as if you have abnormally applied brakes harder.
This one clunks too. I own this car. D3-D2, particularly horrible, especially if you're used to a smoother box.
Which one isbetter sir, polo tsi or fiat abarth punto?
People in the comment box, but the build quality
Only thing it gets.
That BS 6 badge is too much.
And Manual gearbox proponents who havnt driven a GT TSI- ek baar drive in Bangalore on a Saturday evening.
what about safety features and safety rating? you don't think its important?
4:08 :-)
Torque converters are known to be thirsty. I think Rapid Manual is the only sensible pick of this trio.
Miss dsg 😌
VW Polo is like CBR 250R of cars. Everyone loved them when they launched but not anymore Bks they stuck with decade old design. Seriously guy! it's time you get back to drawing board. 🙄
the engine of the CBR is a masterpiece, as it's in the polo...... design is good enough when you've got such a peppy engine
Will you say RE classic 350 need a design change? Imean just the looks
I am a big time fan of volkswagen cars and it always brings smile to my face experiencing German machine.One issue is the lack of rear space even lacking of boot space. Also i have one doubt in my mind is it possible to perform burnouts on a automatic?
I mean is it possible to tap the brake in D mode and rev it up and than suddenly release it.
Any user or anyone?
If anyone can help i will be really grateful and would like to thank in advance
cmon volkswagen enuf w the 2010 design
Team, can you compare this with new i20 and altroz..
Enough is enough, Polo is not relevant anymore! It is been 3 and half years since the new Polo is out but Volkswagen is having no intention of launching it here! It shows how much Volkswagen cares for indian customers!
Is it still good option when we have entry level SUV and other spacious turbo charged Hatchbacks in this price zone like Venue, Sonet, new I20, Altroz ??
Given the option I may not opt. Not to hurt any ones feelings, it’s just my feedback.
I think altroz is best in above you mentioned regarding safety part.
Always drive German, amazing they really know how to make a car
Polo is the best and will be🔥😍
No they all are better than polo. From my point of view
VW cars have got generational updates around the world but in India it remains the same. Indians are happy with Tin Cans.
For everyone compalining about the eurospec facelift not being rolled into the indian markets, you should understand that it would cost approximately 16 lakhs on road in India. At this price point how many of you think you should shell out your money for unnecasary bells and whistles, which btw seems to be Hyundai's usp and is clearly failing as is evident from the pricing of the new i20.
Venue or polo?
Polo to polo hai yr iska koi compition ni hai ❤️❤️
I love the car back camera is missing
Whatever they put under the skin but the designs of most of VW are getting too old now. In every other market they are 3-4 generations ahead. That's too much of ignorance on their part for India. Seriously I don't like any of their cars except new coming tiguan.
Waiting for Polo GT TDI engine there Diesel engine till now unimaginable 😀
No more diesel engines from Volkswagen brother 🤗
Volkswagen has discontinued the GT TDI after switching over to BS6.
In future definitely they will launch like Maruti because VW sales are literally down when compared to last year, if they didn’t launch Diesel engine definitely they move out from India production like Fiat company
I bought this TDI car in 2011 and sold after using 6 years... very rugged car..I like the drive and stability. Very bad head lights.. VW should concentrate on design and features. Otherwise it's totally waste to buy this expensive hatchback in current scenario.
Volkswagen Polo GT car very nice
❤️🔥Always love your reviews 🔥❤️
Still waiting for the next gen Polo in India.. Can’t understand the logic of selling an old car when the world gets a better bigger one!
Best car in the segment
Why to buy GT over the highline plus AT?
The biggest gripe of the Polo i.e The DSG is gone now, hopefully the TC is far more reliable.
polo price is not justified. one can but rapid rider and get a better sedan.at almost 10 lack no projector lamp/led lights is a bummer.
Wow what a nice car
Better take a Kawasaki Ninja zx10r engine and fit it with a 6 speed manual. Manual transmission with clutch pedal is always better than automatic, atleast to me.
For heaven’s sake, GIVE US THE NEW GEN POLO WHICH IS ALREADY 3 YEARS OLD IN EUROPE!
When will the new polo come???
if you are looking for manual with gt power, go for the polo tsi ,it gets a manual
NO DSG still rocks huh! Goto drive!!
So basically the new standard Polo and the new GT TSI share the same engine. The only difference being one has a manual and the other has an automatic. If it demands a higher premium than the standard Polo just for its badge, I don't think it will shine.
Engine is different in this one
Though it makes more bhp
No,standard polo engine is not turbocharged
Volkswagen polo is great
All older model from the EU are lunched in India, the interiors looks like 6-8 year old German model.
Main complaint of this vehicle is ABS Sensor problem
im facinf that too sometime
To all the Polo fans, updated polo mk6 had launched sinse 2017 overseas but seems like Volkswagen is not taking much interest in indian market sticking to old 11yrs old model 😑
Enough of polo .... GT Or TSI or DSG.
Let it go , no doubt it’s a legendary car but we Indians are getting too much of it .... kindly evolve so that we can buy worth the money . @10lakh we can definitely get something better than this cramped cabin car .
It’s one fast hatch with perfect stability
That’s value for money my friend
A car is for driving and not just for useless modern day features
@@ashfaaqrahman3638 try driving it at highways with intermittent broken potholes.... not every road in India is a race track... kindly get a fair idea of its rigid suspension set up .
Why doesn't India get the new Polo sold globally :(
It's length is more than 4m globally and MQB platform is still in development stage.
It's expensive and Importing parts in India will drive the cost even higher.
Volkswagen doesn't manufacturer every part in India. And India has some of the highest import taxes.
Resulting in foreign companies being discouraged to bring there best in India.
Because the 7th gen sold globally is longer than 4m. Which makes it pointless to be sold in India
It's over 4m long..hence,will be too expensive for India
Love polo.??😍
When gti....?.waiting...
VW how will you sell your same old cars in India if you don’t change.
Wait a minute did old polo GT TDI had paddle shifters🤔🤔
GT TDI was a manual transmission
TDI never had paddle shifters since it's Manual Transmission..
You could get Nexon instead of it or even free style deisel
powerful car :)
Can you people compare GLS400D &BMW X7 , AMG G63 & WRANGLER , GLE 400D & BMX X5
Dct will definitely give higher FE compared to TC - you will struggle to get 19 kpl on tc which is easy on the highways with gt tsi dct
Is this car contain clutch ??
V costly,can go for manual diesel i20 or altroz to get better thrill
No Drl,led and Reverse camera atleast. That's basics even in Kwid 🤦♂️🤦♂️.
For me manual is the best
A perfect design does not need any updates..
Dated design ?? Its an automobile, not fashion..
This is no more a GT! Old GT was effortless & swift not this one! Not wort money pls try driving old & new GT back to back before making a purchase decision
Go for polo manual or automatic
Does not DESERVE GT badging!
Please do the review of ford Freestyle 2020
Engine has become smaller. Design is same. As in 2010. Anyone buying it in 2020????
Great journalist.
We seriously need to see new look come on VW 🤦♂️
Apart from the 6Speed Auto, what's the difference between the Regular 1.0TSI and the GT TSI? The regular Polo 1.0TSI seems like it's faster to a 100KMPH.
Should've offered a manual.
you do get a 6 speed manual with the new 1 litre TSI engine
For so many years polo exterior looks same!
Manual is the choice
didnt understand why only red Colour
Instead of buying the gt tsi just buy the top 1.0 l turbocharged 3 cylinder highline plus and you can save 50 grand and get rear ac and arm rest from the company and get gti baging if you want the unwanted flex🙄 tho I brought mine just today for learning car by my dad
VW hasn't understood the Indian market!!
No thanks, ill buy highline plus manual transmission
Meanwhile Abarth Punto with 1.4 litre turbo leaving India
I Juz Don't Understand Y Makers Gng Through 1liter Engines Wit Turbo Wich R Nt Long Lasting..
One Thing Is Der Is No Replacement 4 Displacement
Still missing so many common features even at such a high price.
