Volkswagen Polo TSI kaafi underrated hain in hatchback segment because it lacks a lot of modern features and overall comfort factor jo iski rivals offer karti hain.
But aaj ka humara comparison features ke upar utna focused nahi hoga but yes it will mostly be based on the performance, driving fun, overall handling and stability. Although yes thode bahot features ke baare mein bhi discuss karenge because ergonomic wise yes Volkswagen Polo TSI lacks quite some features.
New Hyundai i20 N line Vs Volkswagen Polo TSI | Comparison By IT-
Dimensions-
- New Hyundai i20 N Line hain more sportier looking i20 with no technical or mechanical changes as such, so dimensions are identical which are as follow: Length x Width x Height: 3995 mm x 1775 mm x 1505 mm, Wheelbase: 2580 mm, Ground Clearance: 170 mm, Fuel Tank Capacity: 37 Litres and Boot Space: 311 Litres.

Performance: New Hyundai i20 N Line Vs Volkswagen Polo TSI-
After the dimensions comparison hum yeh toh keh sakte hain that Polo TSI is not very a practical hatchback but Hyundai i20 N Line is based on the normal i20 so its quite bigger in terms of boot space and overall cabin space. But now it comes to engine performance, dono hot hatches ke performance specifications are as follow:
- New Hyundai i20 N Line: 1.0L TGDi turbo petrol engine jo produce karta hain 120 PS ki max. power and 172 Nm ka max. torque. Main point to note here is that i20 N Line mein there’s no proper manual gearbox on offer, Hyundai offer karta hain 6-speed iMT and 7-speed DCT gearbox options.
- Volkswagen Polo TSI: It is powered by a 1.0 TSI petrol engine jo produce karta hain 110 PS ki max. power and 175 Nm ka max. torque mated with 6-speed manual and automatic transmission options. Now here comes the USP of this German hot hatch, Polo ke TSI engine ko fully enjoy karne ke liye Volkswagen offers manual gearbox too.
The thing is that New Hyundai i20 N Line ka turbo petrol engine already we have driven so there’s nothing thats hidden, i20 ka turbo petrol engine produces more power than TSI engine but somewhere it lacks that instant punch and with the DCT or iMT gearbox turbo lag kaafi feel hota hain.
Whereas Volkswagen Polo TSI ek aisa engine hain jo globally proven hain for giving out instant acceleration with a pinch of turbo lag initially but as we mentioned it offers manual for the enthusiasts and automatic for convenient drivers. Polo TSI se aap apne according manually gear shift karke apne low gears par high revs kar sakte hain for quick overtakes and fun driving element.
Driving Stability-
Agar baat kare stability ki toh Hyundai i20 is a lighter car than VW Polo and ussi reason ki wajah se Polo TSI is much more stable at higher speeds, but i20 ka lightweight hone ki wajah se it picks up speed quickly than Polo TSI. So the preference is yours, Polo long highway drives at higher speeds par aapko safe feel karaegi but i20 is little more aerodynamic so stability Polo ke level ki nahi hain but yes it does give a feel good factor while doing high speeds.
Exterior Design: New Hyundai i20 N Line Vs Volkswagen Polo TSI-
- Hyundai i20 N Line ka exterior kaafi sporty hain with N Line badging all around the car, kaafi sharp cuts and lines running all across the car aapko dekhne ko mil jayengi. i20 ka design is not that everyone would love, its more of trendy design, N Line mein specifically offer kiye jayenge sporty alloy wheels, rear spoiler with side wings, twin tip exhaust, rear diffuser etc.
- Volkswagen Polo TSI ka design kaafi old school hain like a proper German car but iska design aisa hain ki as such hate nahi kar sakta hain Polo ki looks. As such koi major creases nahi hain but ek simple line which is running all across, Polo ke looks are a little bland as per the latest trends but the elegance it has woh kabhi bi Polo ko outdated nahi hone dega.
Features On Offer-
In the starting itself as we mentioned that yeh comparison features par itna rely nahi karega because it all depends on one’s needs and requirements.

Our Take: New Hyundai i20 N Line Vs Volkswagen Polo TSI-
Hyundai i20 N Line is nothing but just a cosmetically updated version of the turbo i20, Volkswagen Polo TSI is more than what it looks has to offer. Polo ka performance bahot hee convincing hain, ek baar ko koi Polo ko dekh kar beshakk i20 ko choose karle but once he drives the Polo tab feel hoga exactly what the Polo feels like. Humare according Volkswagen Polo TSI is a very value for money option packed with power and decent amount of features.
But if you have a good enough budget then maybe you can go with the i20 N Line for its looks, features on offer and overall Hyundai’s market presence. Hyundai i20 N Line mein amount of features justify karte hain uski cost but on the performance end we don’t think so that it would do justice to Hyundai’s original N Line performance DNA.
