Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which is better between Volkswagen Polo and Maruti Suzuki S Cross?
  • If you were looking to buy a feature-loaded and spacious hatchback for the family, then Volkswagen Polo is pretty much not the choice. But for those who appreciate its build quality and driving manners, it remains almost perfect. On the contrary, if a smooth driving experience and space are your priorities, then the S-Cross will be a match made in heaven for you. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test drive before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.
Q. Which car to choose Polo or Altroz?
  • Both the cars are good in their forte. Though the Polo lacks in space and offers a shorter features list than its rivals, it still manages to do a lot right though in terms of solid build quality, strong set of essential features as standard and adds on top of that, great performance and a delightful driving experience. If space matters little to you and you intend to drive and experience the car more, the Polo hasn’t lost a beat with this update and polished up it’s performance and handling. On the other hand, While the Altroz does not manage to set a new standard in the segment, it will fit right into the mix with a long feature list, sharp looks and a comfortable ride. The engine refinement remains to be the major chink in the armour. For a better understanding of compatibility and driving comfort, we would suggest you to take a test drive. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership..Read more -Tata Altroz iTurbo: First Drive Review.
Q. Polo or Swift?
  • For fun to drive and safety Polo.. for fuel efficiency Swift..
  • Selecting between the Maruti Swift and Volkswagen Polo would depend on certain factors such as your budget, preference of the segment, features required, ride quality, performance preference, etc. Volkswagen Polo lacks space and it gets shorter features list than its rivals. However, it still managed to do a lot right though in terms of solid build quality, a strong set of essential features as standard and adds on top of that, great performance, and a delightful driving experience. If space matters little to you and you intend to drive and experience the car more, the Polo hasn’t lost a beat with this update and polished up its performance and handling. It gets two engine options: a 1.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol (75PS/95Nm) and a 1.0-litre turbo-petrol (110PS/175Nm). While the former is mated to a 5-speed MT, the latter can be paired with either a 6-speed MT or a 6-speed AT. On the other hand, Swift, a new update that has built on the dynamic abilities of the Swift package but with the increase, it's still the priciest in its segment. Maruti Swift is currently available in the Petrol engine. The 1197 cc Petrol engine generates a power of 88.50bhp@6000rpm and torque of 113Nm@4400rpm. It features more power and bigger brakes should improve the dynamic abilities of the Swift. The new blue and white, two-tone color scheme looks nice. A larger touch screen, cruise control, hill hold assist and ESP was added to the features list. Idle start-stop promises improved fuel efficiency. Moreover, we would suggest you take a test drive for a better understanding of performance and driving comfort. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership.
