Q. What is the difference between Volkswagen Polo diesel car and petrol car?
  • Diesel Car, Torque (pulling) Power is very high.,Petrol car Torque (pulling)Power is lower,But for City driving, that inital Pick-up is not Good in DIESEL Car.,Petrol Cars run @ very good Speed (pick-up) in City driving conditions.But Disel Car on the Highway Road is uncomparable Speed, Torque & Fuelefficiency.Diesel Car 22.05 Km/ Litre,Petrol. 17.5 Km onlyDiesel Car: Routine maintenance is little bit costly (But, because of more mileage that is not a problem) 👍
  • Diesel gives more mileage and in cost also it will be high.....petrol mileage will be 2-3kmpl low when compared to Diesel but performance will be superior than petrol...and latest tsi turbo engine is wonderful....
Q. I am confused between Tata Altroz XZ and Polo TSI Highline. This will be my first car and need car for family of 5 members. Feature wise Altroz is better but engine wise I like Polo. Please suggest which is better?
  • Both Volkswagen Polo and Tata Altroz are good premium hatches and offer a lot to their customers. However, as per your requirements, we'd suggest you to go with the Tata Altroz as the car offers practical and spacious cabin for a family of five. 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. On the other hand, if you value build, drive experience and ride over feature gimmicks and are willing to sacrifice on space, the Polo would be a good fit for you. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.Read More: - Tata Altroz 2019 Petrol & Diesel: First Drive - Volkswagen Polo 1.0 TSI: Road Test Review

  • Diesel

    Compact and average car 

    The Sonet is a head-turner for sure. It's got a sporty design. You can choose from colors to match your vibe. It have plenty of legroom and headroom. The seats are comfortable for long drives. In the back, it might feel a little cramped for three adults. The Sonet comes in three engine options: a 1.2L petrol for good mileage, a 1.0L turbo-petrol for more power, and a 1.5L diesel for strong torque.

Sonet’s spacious interior and premium features gives the best balance of comfort and convenience. From the user-friendly touchscreen display to the cutting-edge safety components that make me feel confident while driving.

  • Sonet
    Compact and average car 

    I recently drove the Kia Sonet , impressed by its sleek style and comfortable interiors. However, its mileage fell short of expectations; while the company claims 15 km/l, I managed 12 km/l in the city and 14 km/l on the highway. The compact SUV's performance was satisfactory, though not exceptional. Its manual transmission and all-wheel drive add versatility, but the lack of memory seats and sunroof may disappoint some. Overall, the Kia Sonet is a decent choice for urban commuters, with room for improvement in fuel efficiency and luxury features.
