Volkswagen Polo vs Hyundai i10 [2010-2017]

We at CarWale decided to get ourselves some seat time and see what Volkswagen Motorsport’s ‘Arrive and Drive’ programme is like.

Today, Hyundai and its sister company Kia have one of the largest R&D centres in Asia. The Korean automaker has been striving to improve their current range of fleet and to develop new products for the automotive markets worldwide. This effect can be seen in India as well. Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) has been giving facelifts to its current range of cars.

Why more than a 10-year-old product here, you may ask! Now, there are two reasons for the Volkswagen Polo to be at the racetrack. First, Volkswagen brought track fun, made motorsports popular, and Indian racing accessible to the masses. Like arrive-n-drive, where you just pay, arrive at the track, and drive a prepped-up VW! This brand name is quite synonymous with racing. Second, more than 10 years and not much has really changed. That speaks so much about its build quality and durability. Speaking of which, a new engine with a new autobox, well, I know I had to forget stick-shift fun here. Yet, with its huge strength being dynamics, there's no more contemplating. So, could I expect the best possible traction and superior driving dynamics from this everyday hero? There was only one way to find out. Drive!
