Pros Cons of Volkswagen Polo

Pros

  • TSI technology boosts performance
  • The petrol engine is efficient
  • Driving dynamics remain unchanged and that’s a big plus

Cons

  • Design remains unchanged
  • A Diesel engine could have been advantageous as it opens up to a new set of buyers
  • There are no new features on the car

Verdict

The Polo remains at the top of the table when it comes to driving experience in the premium hatchback segment. Volkswagen have got everything right with the car but the addition of features would have been helpful.

Pros Cons of BMW 5 Series

Pros

  • Great Ride And Handling
  • Gets Both Petrol And Diesel Options
  • Premium Interior With Smart Features

Cons

  • Petrol Trim Only Comes In One Variant
  • Second-Row Not Good For 3 Occupants
  • Cabin Design Looks A Bit Dated

Verdict

The 5 series continues to impress with its dynamic capabilities but a more contemporary face and tech laden cabin has made the car even more appealing than before. It starts at ₹ 62.90 lakh for the Petrol version while the 520d is priced at ₹ 63.90 lakh. Top of the line 530d will set you back by ₹ 71.90 lakh (all prices ex-showroom). It is going up against the likes of the recently launched Mercedes E-class, Audi A6 and Jaguar XF.
