Reason you should buy Volkswagen Polo?

The German auto major Volkswagen is very well known worldwide and highly acclaimed for the typical German characteristics that they bring to the design of their cars. Superior German engineering and eye for every detail, along with the premium status of their brand are appreciated throughout the world. Though the Indian car market is more driven by the cost conscious mind set, Volkswagen has established itself as a trusted premium auto maker in spite of facing tough competition from the domestic and more familiar brands in India. The Polo is one of the main offerings from this German company that has been launched in India to grab its fair share of the market. The Polo is in fact, a classic premium car from Volkswagen which has surely fixed the hold of the German auto makers in the Indian context.

With the new edition of the Polo, Volkswagen has introduced some updates which are mostly to the interiors. Few people would not agree that the Polo has an exceptionally stylish and modern look to it. The Polo is perhaps the most wanted hatchback owing to its stylish looks. It emanates a sporty feel about it with its streamlined and graceful appeal, in spite of being a hatchback. It has been given balanced dimensions with a length of 3971mm, a width of 1682mm and a height of 1469mm. The slim grille in the front accentuated with silver and the sharp head lights render it an aggressive look, while the slender curvatures add a touch of classy appeal to it. Stepping inside that car, you would find that the interiors are decently spaced, it is neither too spacious nor crunchy, offering just enough room which is comfortable. The dual tone dashboard along with the touch screen audio visual system at the centre is a sheer delight.

The inner machinery of the Volkswagen Polo remains unchanged.  The diesel version of Polo comes with 1.5-litre TDI engine with a displacement capacity of 1498cc. It is composed of 4 cylinders and is coupled with a 5 speed manual transmission system. The peak power output of the diesel engine is 104bhp at 4400rpm. The petrol model of the Polo comes with a 1.2-litre TSI engine with 4 cylinders with a little less displacement capacity of 1197cc. Power generated by this engine is 104bhp at 5000rpm. The petrol variant also comes with a 7 speed DSG gearbox which ensures easy and smooth shifting of gears.  Volkswagen has heightened the security features of the Polo with the addition of ABS and EBD along with hill hold control and electronic stabilisation program along with the already present features like dual airbags, rear parking sensors, multi function display etc.

Polo on road price which starts at 5.93 lakh is no doubt lucrative that includes a smooth handling and comfortable ride, along with ample space and safety features, all packed into an amazingly stylish car body.

Why Renault Duster was a success in India

The Renault Duster has created an overwhelming buzz in the Indian car market, which was never seen in recent times. Ever since it was launched in July 2012, the Renault Duster has won the hearts of all Indian car enthusiasts, in spite of being a European car predominantly. Renault needed something that could offer a super turbo boost to its sales figures in the Indian market. Renault Duster helped to catapult the fortunes of Renault in India. The Duster was so successful that Renault had to triple its production within months of the car launch.

After the debacle of the Logan, the Duster is actually Renault’s first ‘real offering’ to the Indian market, as expert reviews say. For Renault Duster overview, it can be said that the 2012 model has been given a cosmetic makeover by the French car makers along with some added technical features to deliver high class performance, and Renault has launched the 2014 Duster.

The new Duster has been given 'Anthracite' alloy wheels and darkened head lamp clusters which look magnificent. It has also been redesigned with a spaced out chrome grille. The Duster also gets new and upgraded LED tail lamps that light up like ‘S’ at night providing a signature style. The interior seat comfort and cabin retains the same look with the additional use of new fabric in brown shades to make the seats look and feel comfortable. The console at the centre is finished off in piano black tones, and the AC controls have been restyled intelligently with touch screen. Ample space inside the car along with a whopping boot capacity of 410 litres makes for a comfortable ride.

The Renault Duster with manual transmission is available across its five variants available in both petrol as well as diesel. The 2014 Renault Duster comes with a 1.6-litre petrol motor delivering power of 102bhp. Additionally, the diesel version comes in two types 83bhp and 108bhp. The biggest change in the new Renault Duster is the AMT version. The 108bhp comes with an optional six speed AMT along with a standard six speed manual transmission system, while the 83bhp gets a five speed manual transmission system. Duster claims to offer fuel efficiency of 13.06 kmpl for the petrol, 19.87 kmpl for the 83 bhp and 19.6 kmpl for the 108 bhp
diesel engines – in both manual and AMT variants.

On road price of Renault Duster shows figures that starts from 9.37 lakh and shoots up to 15.63 lakh in Delhi.

 Athough, the new Renault Duster is more expensive than the older one, this compact SUV has always been a great car to drive both in the city and off the road for its sheer technical excellence. Apart from the mechanical alterations, the commendable step that Renault has taken to make the Duster a complete SUV is the integration of the AMT which will certainly make the success of Duster in India very crucial.
