What is better Solaris or Volkswagen Polo. Comparison of budget cars: Hyundai Solaris and Volkswagen Polo Polo solaris salon who is more

Since their inception, both sedans have not left the rating of the most popular models of the market, and they are invariably at the top. And Polo is a real long-liver, it has been produced for 7 years already! Is he able to withstand the onslaught of the new Solaris?

And isn't that why most of our Instagram subscribers voted for Hyundai Solaris? The Volkswagen Polo has really caught on over the years, although its austere and conservative exterior isn't really overly dated. In addition, a couple of years ago, Polo was cheered up with a restyling, LED daytime running lights were issued, and for a surcharge it can illuminate the road with xenon headlights - an unprecedented thing for a "state employee"!

Hyundai Solaris is even more expensive, although it looks brighter than the Polo (and not only because of the body color), and older than its predecessor. From the larger Hyundai, he got an abundance of chrome, an angular grille and LED lights (performed by Elegance). Moreover, the price tags were rewritten on Solaris already three months after its appearance in dealerships - if earlier the basic version with a 1.4 engine (100 hp) cost 599 thousand, now they ask for at least 624 900 for it! To name the price for "our" Solaris Elegance is somehow embarrassing - with all possible equipment it is 1,015,900 rubles.

However, the equipment is really impressive by the standards of this class - comfortable access, a rear-view camera with dynamic markings, parking sensors, heating windshield, steering wheel and even rear seats. Plus a cool multimedia complex with Apple CarPlay and AndroidAuto support, user-friendly interface and navigation. Inside "Solaris" you feel no worse than in the same "Elantra"! Until you start touching the plastic in the cabin, it is everywhere hard.

The Polo inside is not "softer" and, of course, its age is felt - the screen of the RCD 330 multimedia complex is small, there are no navigation maps, the music is not as powerful as in Hyundai, and the visibility is impaired by tiny mirrors. Instead of a decent armrest with a box, like in the Solaris, there is only a side "fold-over", and the niche in front of the automatic machine selector is too small and inconvenient. But Polo can boast of the presence of cruise control, rain sensor, interior mirror with auto-dimming and parking sensors in front and rear - all this is inaccessible to Solaris. AND rear passengers I will definitely like it more in Polo - in Hyundai the three of us are cramped, and there is no space for the legs.

What about the driver? We took both sedans with six-speed automatic transmissions, but despite the difference of 13 "horses" in favor of Hyundai, the 110-horsepower Volkswagen lags behind only in the starting spurt up to 60 km / h, and they gain a hundred about the same, although according to the Solaris passport it should be faster - 11.2 seconds versus 11.7. But this is when accelerating to the floor, and in all other Solaris modes it is preferable - he was finally weaned to rush forward at the slightest touch of the pedal, and the box works smoothly.

Polo not only upset, but alerted by the behavior of the machine - was it really "rolled" for 30 thousand kilometers? One way or another, but he switched with jerks, especially when shifting "down" from second to first gear, which was annoying in traffic jams. And in sport mode, these tremors turned into unpleasant jerks. For Polo, we do not remember this, since it and with sedan Ford Fiesta, and c. Moreover, there is an official updated "firmware" for the six-speed Aisin box, which eliminates this problem and, in theory, should be uploaded to the 2016 test car. So let's write it off to the state of a particular instance.

But what is even harder to believe is in the Solaris chassis settings. The thought does not leave my head: "Yes, it cannot be!" A modest sedan pleases with a light but informative steering wheel and incredible tenacity even on standard Nexen tires... It is a real pleasure to attack corners with it! Moreover, it is not necessary that under 16-inch wheels there is even asphalt - Solaris does not jump off the trajectory on patches and joints, does not sway on the waves, and in general it allows you not to stand on ceremony with road defects. We noticed the same behavior during the course, but then suspicions crept in that Hyundai had specially prepared the cars. But no, this Solaris is already from the consignments.

Volkswagen Polo is also good - it is easy and pleasant to drive it, and on the arc it stands no less confident than Solaris. However, Polo does not like sharp irregularities like joints or manholes and responds to this with rough suspension work, sometimes transferring blows to the steering wheel. The "German" from Kaluga is prepared for bad roads worse than the "Korean" from St. Petersburg. But the Polo is definitely quieter! In Hyundai, noise insulation was frankly put under the knife - you can hear the roar of the engine, and the rustle of tires, and the whistle of the wind, and the murmur of water in the wheel arches.

So which sedan is better? Both are not bad! Active drivers we recommend Hyundai Solaris - it conquers with its "omnivorous" suspension, excellent handling and striking appearance. But what about the passengers if the rear is cramped, and the trunk is less comfortable than that of the Polo? The qualities of Volkswagen, on the contrary, are balanced in full accordance with the conservative appearance - it exemplary family man, can accommodate five people with all their belongings and options are not deprived. And many still choose it for the coveted logo of the German concern. But if it is quite possible to put an equal sign between them, then what would happen if we compare the new Hyundai Solaris with some other competitor? We will not guess and will soon do it - we will take Solaris on the mechanics and ... "Lada Vesta"!

P.S. By the way, on Monday, June 5 at 18-00 we will host a traditional online broadcast. And we will just discuss Volkswagen Polo, Hyundai Solaris. And, of course, let's compare them with Kia rio, Skoda Rapid, Renault logan and Lada Vesta. In general, the dispute will be heated. Join us. And prepare your questions.

19 468 Hyundai Solaris and 14 168 Volkswagen Polo were sold in the first quarter of this year. Statistics show that the new product from the Korean manufacturer made a great impression on the buyers and won their hearts.

Volkswagen Polo has been in the hands of owners in Russia for 7 years. Will he be able to resist completely new Hyundai Solaris, which in its new generation burst into the segment of budget cars? We will talk about this today, because the topic is interesting, and both cars are really bestsellers. Long-liver Polo is very successfully sold in Russia, and the previous generation of Solaris was also famous for its outstanding popularity.

The audience's sympathy also speaks of the tough struggle between the two cars. Relatively recently appeared in 2017 Hyundai Solaris in a new body, immediately won the sympathy of motorists. And the bored Volkswagen Polo gave up a bit, although its design cannot be called outdated, moreover, Folz was restyled not so long ago and LED running lights were added to it, and it can even illuminate the road itself. But of course this offer is not for free.

Inside the Volkswagen Polo, German severity, clarity and laconicism are visible, although there is nothing to catch the eye. In Hyundai Solaris, the interior is more interesting, the front console is oriented more towards the driver and is slightly turned towards him. Dashboard bright and understandable. Under the front console there is a convenient niche for a smartphone, two 12V sockets, a connector for USB and AUX. In Polo, the flash drive will have to be stuck right under the multimedia screen.

Two not brother acrobats

Although both cars are positioned as a budget segment, the language will not turn to call them state employees when you look at the price tags of the maximum trim levels. Although Polo is offered at a starting price of 599,900 rubles, for this amount you get a completely empty car, an engine with a capacity of 85 horses, there is only a manual transmission and ABS. There is not even a radio and heating, at least driver's seat... Test car in maximum configuration Highline and plus dopa - it's 997 540 rubles, almost a million! For the "budget" segment.

Hyundai Solaris is no different from Volkswagen in particular cheapness. But Solaris looks much fresher and outwardly similar to the more expensive Elantra. It is replete with an abundance of chrome, a new, already standard, angular grille and is completely different from the previous Solaris. After the start of sales, the basic version of Solaris started at 599 thousand rubles, but now the price tags have changed and they are asking for 624 900 rubles for the basic version of Active. And the test car in the Elegance configuration even exceeded one million - 1,015,900 rubles.

However, when you find yourself next to this car, you understand why such a price tag is set. By the standards of its class, the Solaris boasts comfortable access, a reversing camera with variable markings for finer parking. It also has parking sensors, light and rain sensors, good multimedia with support for AndroidAuto and Apple CarPlay. In the maximum configuration new Solaris not even worse than the new Elantra apart from hard plastic. Also, the impression is made by the new style of the car, it feels like it has matured and is ready to outgrow its segment.

As for the Polo, there is a sense of its rather respectable age. A small multimedia screen without navigation, the music is not as rich as that of a competitor, and the most unpleasant thing is tiny mirrors. Unlike the full-fledged large armrest in the Hyundai Solaris, the Volkswagen Polo has a small folding armrest with a niche, really for little things. There is also a niche in front of the gearbox selector, but it is not very convenient. But the Volkswagen Polo boasts cruise control, a salon mirror with auto-dimming, parking sensors around the perimeter of the car. Also, the Polo has more space on the back sofa than the Solaris.

Comparing luggage racks, I would like to note the convenience of using them in Polo, the opening is more convenient and wider than in Solaris. On the trunk of the Polo there are two handles for closing it on both sides, while the Solaris has only one. Both cars have full-size spare tires with organizers under the floor. For Volkswagen, as an option, you can order a spare wheel on an alloy wheel.

Good go

Both cars have six-speed automatic transmissions, but only Solaris really pleased. Switching is smooth and adequate, the box works when needed. Polo, on the contrary, upset with his box. Shifts are jerky, which can be annoying in traffic jams, and can be very annoying in Sport mode. But it is possible that the box was just ditched on the test cars. In 2016, a firmware for the Polo machine was released, which was supposed to get rid of unpleasant sticking of the unit, but in this particular car, unpleasant shocks are present.

Volkswagen Polo wheelbase shorter by 47 mm, but at the same time it is more comfortable for rear passengers to sit in it. But in the Prestige configuration, Hyundai Solaris can even offer a heated rear sofa. Also the polo has no back lighting.

As for acceleration, Solaris is ahead of Polo from a standstill, but then Volkswagen is closing the gap. According to the documents, Hyundai is really faster than 11.2 seconds versus 11.7 seconds for the Polo, but this despite the fact that the difference is Horse power ah in favor of Solaris. This behavior of the engine is not entirely clear. But at Hyundai Solaris, engineers have tried and well tuned the gearbox and the sensitivity of the gas pedal, thanks to which it quickly starts from a place. But do not forget that such a sharp gas pedal can play a cruel joke with the driver in a tight traffic jam or during tight parking.

Specifications

Both cars can be filled with AI-92 gasoline, they eat it without any problems, the average consumption in the urban cycle was 9 liters per hundred, this is taking into account the large traffic jams. But the tuning of the Hyundai chassis deserves special attention. It is set up perfectly, this behavior is not expected from a car of this class. The steering wheel is light and informative at the same time, the sedan clearly follows a given trajectory, even on a not very flat road. On waves and patches, he confidently holds the road. And this is a massive, fully serial sample.

Volkswagen Polo also has a good chassis setup, it is quite pleasant to drive. On a good road, does it behave like a Hyundai Solaris? The car feels good. But when good asphalt ends, you feel every pothole on the road with your hands, vibrations are often transmitted to the steering wheel, and the suspension strives to rebound. However, the Polo is much quieter than the Korean.

Video test drive

The manufacturer guarantees the Volkswagen Polo for 3 years or 100,000 kilometers, while the official warranty for Hyundai Solaris is 5 years or 150,000 kilometers.

What better Volkswagen Polo or Hyundai Solaris in a new body? We can say that both sedans proved to be very worthy, and both cars coped with the tasks assigned to it. Some are better, some are worse. For Active drivers, we can recommend Hyundai Solaris, it handles pretty well, copes better with bumps on the road. With a great modern design, it looks really fresh. But the rear passengers will not be very comfortable in it, there is less space in it by an order of magnitude than in the Polo. The Volkswagen Polo is more balanced for a quieter and more controlled ride. He can be called a hereditary family man who will happily take you and your kids to the nearest park. Also, a psychological effect plays in favor of Polo - the German quality. Although Solaris is assembled and thought out very well, as evidenced by the tests.

But final choice it is always up to you, our business is to tell only about the nuances of each of the cars, but, and the burden of choice falls entirely on your shoulders.

Choice suitable car troublesome business. It is necessary to take into account all the pros and cons. Volkswagen Polo and Hyundai Solaris have long been popular with Russian consumers. Since the release, these cars have been more and more modernized to improve their qualities, which today constitute excellent healthy competition to each other. It is sometimes very difficult to choose your car. These cars of one price segment... So how do you know which one is better?

Polo. What is he?

Volkswagen is represented on the market by the German brand. And this is an indisputable plus. German car manufacturers present themselves as reliable and successful. And as in all German cars, the Polo feels style and moderation... No bulging elements or oblique headlights. Everything is strict, simple and convenient. Despite the budget cost, it feels like the design was done by professionals: all buttons are located where they should be. Everything is very convenient.

The manufacturer indicates the clearance, the so-called ground clearance, the car is 163 mm, but it should be borne in mind that the declared indicator is relevant for an empty car. The more the cabin is loaded, the less the clearance will be. For example, a car with three passengers and a half-loaded trunk has a ground clearance of 120 mm. And this is a tangible difference from the declared one.

What is Solaris?

Stylish Hyundai Solaris is produced by a Korean company. The design of this car is very impressive. Despite the budget cost, the car instantly attracts attention on the road. It is not immediately clear that this is a state employee, the Korean is already very handsome.

The design is modern and bold. And this is not surprising, because I worked on the design myself Thomas Bürkl... This famous designer once worked for BMW, and today he creates the Hyundai style. And looking at Solaris, we can safely say that there is some kind of German gloss in it. V latest version the manufacturer has updated the front panel, thereby turning it towards the driver, which makes the ride very comfortable. Also in the salon there is a possibility of a speakerphone, which allows you not to be distracted from the control.

What do these cars have in common?

• Price policy... Despite some discrepancies, in general, both cars will cost the buyer the same price.
• Fuel consumption... Both Hyundai Solaris and Volkswagen Polo can be fueled with 92nd gasoline. Minor adjustments aside, the fuel consumption is the same.
• The German has an acceleration of up to one hundred kilometers in 10.5 seconds... For comparison, a Korean for a similar maneuver will need 11.2 seconds, however, on the road, the differences are not particularly noticeable, both iron horse briskly react to the depressed gas pedal and rush forward.
• Comfortable handling... Feedback from the owners of both cars speaks of soft handling and excellent engine response.
• a wide selection of inexpensive spare parts in case of repair.

What are the differences between these cars?

1. The Volkswagen Polo and Hyundai Solaris have a spacious and easy-to-use trunk. A priority for taxi drivers and travelers. Despite the fact that the Polo's trunk is slightly smaller in size, the opening is much more spacious, which makes it much more convenient to load luggage.
2. Korean in the latest version new suspension, the ride is noticeably softer than on older versions. However, the same Polo served as the prototype for the update. Volkswagen was previously distinguished by a more comfortable ride, and now, despite all the updates from Hyundai manufacturers, there is a shaking on the uneven road and the driver needs to adjust the steering wheel. The German Polo is much more reliable in this regard.
3. Additional advantages of the Polo are a rain sensor, parking sensors at the rear and front, as well as so popular on long trips Cruise control... Solaris does not have these options yet.
4. Noise isolation... When driving around the city, you don't feel much of a difference, but you should go to the highway and Hyundai Solaris loses noticeably, the cabin is too noisy, you have to communicate in a raised voice.
5. Design... Volkswagen has it laconic. The manufacturer has worked on appearance steering wheel and front panel, which look amazing in the latest version. It is possible to bring the control of the phone, display and radio tape recorder to the steering wheel, which is very convenient. Additional lighting in the passenger compartment in the foot area creates a very welcoming atmosphere. However, some consider the model too conservative. Korean Solaris in comparison with the German Polo, it is trendy and modern.
6. When the cabin is fully loaded, sitting in the back is noticeably more comfortable in a Volkswagen than in a Hyundai, where the three of us cannot accommodate. In addition to the fact that the ceiling is low and often practically touches the head, it is also very uncomfortable for the third person in the middle to sit.
7. But Hyundai's warranty is calculated for 5 years and 150,000 km, in Polo, the standard 3 years and 100,000 km. If the buyer decides to part with his car after three years, selling the car under warranty is much easier at a better price.

So how do you decide which car is right for whom?

Active drivers will prefer the Hyundai Solaris for its striking looks, low fuel consumption and excellent handling. This car is very comfortable for two. Volkswagen Polo, on the other hand, is ready to accommodate five people, without depriving them of their convenience in the least. In the city, the bright Solaris will show its best side, but on long trips to Polo it is much more comfortable.

Fans of fast and frisky driving will appreciate the qualities of the Polo, it has better grip, excellent cornering, and on bumps, like a reliable horse, it stubbornly follows a given path, not trying to jump off the trajectory, like Solaris. But Hyundai is more popular with the beautiful half of humanity, appearance its beautiful, and the steering wheel is noticeably lighter.

Whichever car the buyer decides to choose, Volkswagen Polo or Hyundai Solaris, in any case, he will be satisfied. Each of these cars has a lot of advantages for which they will fall in love with their owner.

Doubts of potential buyers that it is better - Volkswagen Polo or Hyundai Solaris, are quite understandable and understandable. Both cars belong to the class budget options, that is, they are available to quite a few, both are convincingly announced on the market and advertised with high quality. The manufacturers of both models have won the respect of Russians for a long time.

The difference in price, of course, is observed, but it is not so significant that it is absolutely impossible to pay extra for the option you like.

The Germans turned out to be already the fifth, and by the number of purchased cars they were twice behind the Koreans. Those who are in the know about car news, involuntarily begin to wonder where Hyundai outweighs Volkswagen. Even supporters of this German brand are beginning to think about whether to go over to the Koreans, since so many people preferred their products.

Which is better: Volkswagen Polo or Hyundai Solaris, many meticulously compared, and experts managed to come to certain conclusions.

Exterior and interior design

• Outwardly, Hyundai Solaris has a dynamic, impetuous and quite modern look. Volkswagen remains true to tradition: their Polo is conservative, even somewhat heavy in appearance. Many may find the model dull and boring;
• The rivals' salons are of high quality and well decorated. But German pedantry manifested itself here too: the design is strict and no frills. Solaris is more elegant and lightweight from the inside;
• The plastic of the inner lining of the Polo was recognized as not very successful: the carmaker, in an effort to reduce the cost of the model, saved money at the expense of quality (although you cannot find Chinese brittle plastic here). But in Solaris, many are annoyed by too sharp blue backlight appliances - it has become a classic feature of the latest Korean models;
• Steering wheel in the brainchild Volkswagen concern adjustable in two planes. The competitor has only the slope.
  The front seats were considered by most of the testers to be more comfortable for Hyundai: they have better lateral support, which is highly appreciated by the driver's back on the road;
• The back will be more comfortable in the Volkswagen Polo. A low overhead slope in Korean will make tall passengers tuck their heads into their shoulders. Although in terms of legroom, both models are approximately equal;
• The trunk of the German sedan is slightly smaller, but it has a more spacious opening through which it will be more convenient to load.

Filling and movement

The engine of Hyundai Solaris is, without a doubt, more powerful than that of its rival. 123 horses give quite decent dynamics, and among budget sedans this Korean can be called the fastest and most powerful. To put it mildly, the not new Volkswagen Polo engine produces only 105 hp, although it is enough for it to move: no strain or gasp of the engine was noticed when driving. Although, of course, especially dynamic model you will not name.

By the way, we note that for the engine compartment Volkswagen of choice does not offer: only 1.6-liter, 16 valves with the mentioned 105 draft units. True, the box can be chosen either mechanical or automatic. Hyundai equips its Solaris in 2 versions: 1.4 liters with 107 horses or 1.6 with 123.

With suspension In Solaris, the Koreans were unlucky: no matter how they adjusted it (and even changed it), the shaking at speed on an unimportant road is felt by passengers quite well. And the driver is forced to steer. The control in the Korean is also not a fountain: the steering wheel is too light, and the car periodically tries to leave the trajectory on bad road(and we have few others). Volkswagen Polo is much more reliable in both respects.

The steering wheel is elastic, but without resistance, informative and obedient. The suspension hides swallowed irregularities in the road surface almost imperceptibly for riders. Although they will feel them by ear: the Germans saved on soundproofing, as well as on trim. And the last fact that can strongly influence the decision of which is better than Volkswagen Polo or Hyundai Solaris: Koreans give a 5-year warranty for their model, albeit not complete, but somewhat truncated. Thrifty Germans have become generous only for 3 years.

These two cars can be called not only of sufficient quality, but also one of the most popular options in Russia. These two cars, beautiful from all points of view, can be found in almost every domestic yard. From the very moment of the appearance of these options for cars to this day, they can be called one of the best in the price category. As for the Polo, it has been on sale in Russia for seven years now. Will he be able to compete with a Korean car, and which is better: Hyundai Solaris or Volkswagen Polo? Let's figure it out in more detail.

Popular German

For 4 months of last year, 19,468 Korean cars and 14,168 German-made models were sold.

Some experienced motorists in spite of all this, it is the German who is chosen. Why? What about German car mobile, then it really is quality option However, from the point of view of the visual component, the Volkswagen Polo has become boring for the domestic buyer for a long time.

As for the appearance of the car, the last time a German car had changes was only a few years ago.

Differences in the interior

If we talk about car interiors, then there is practically nothing to distinguish from a German car. As for the Korean car, things are much more interesting here. The center console is tilted towards the driver. The dashboard is just incredibly high quality. Also, there is a sufficiently high-quality and reliable gutter where you can place a smartphone or something else. In addition, there is an option with 2 12 volt sockets, as well as dedicated USB outputs. As for the German car, here it is necessary to stick the flash drive directly into the multimedia unit. It is worth noting that in the absence of climate control, it is always possible to solve the problem by purchasing an extended version. As for the glove compartments of cars, in both cases they are devoid of suspension.

Can Polo really be called a real budget employee? Advertising often lures the client by offering to buy a car for only 599 thousand rubles. However, in this case, it will be possible to use the most modest version, which has an 85 horsepower motor with mechanical box gears, ABS. There is not even an elementary heated seat, as well as air conditioning and audio systems. As for the car in the Highline version, where a 110 horsepower engine is already installed, as well as a six-speed automatic transmission, it will cost 825 thousand 900 rubles. If there is a desire to get more powerful car, then it will be necessary to lay out 997 thousand 540 rubles. This is almost 1 million rubles, just think about it!

As for the Korean car, it is still more expensive here. Although in this case the car looks very colorful. From the more bulky Koreans, this car has a huge number of chrome elements. There is also a fairly angular grille, as well as LED lights. Moreover, the company changed the prices for cars literally 3 months after the car appeared on the market. As for the basic version, at the time of release, with a capacity of 100 horsepower and with 1.4 liter engine, the price was 599 thousand rubles, and after three months, 624 thousand rubles had to be paid. As for the top version of the car, it will cost 1 million 15 thousand 900 rubles.

Of course, this is not the smallest money. Despite all this, in terms of quality of performance this car difficult to compare with any other option. There is a high-quality rear-view camera, special sensors that allow parking. Well, in addition, there is high-quality heated seats, windshield and mirrors. Moreover, in this case there is an incredibly high-quality multimedia complex, a user-friendly interface and excellent navigation. Inside, you can feel like in a higher quality and more expensive premium car. As for the plastic in the car, here it is available, but of sufficient quality. Despite this, which is better: Hyundai Solaris or Volkswagen Polo, it is difficult to determine.

Technical differences

As for the option with German Volkswagen then things are much worse. Nevertheless, this car is much older, which means that there is a much lower-quality multimedia complex here, and you simply cannot find navigation maps here. For the review, in this case, very small mirrors are used, in comparison with the Korean competitor. As for the selector niche, in this case it is incredibly inconvenient and very small. Even a small smartphone cannot fit here. However, the German car has quality cruise control, rain sensor, special mirrors that use an automatic dimming level. Among other things, two parking sensors are installed here at once: from the front and rear. Solaris cannot boast all of these great features. As for the roominess of the car, in this case it looks preferable german car... Solaris has much less space for passengers.

Solaris engine

As for the technical properties, in comparison of two six-speed automatic boxes gears, the Korean has 123 horsepower, and the German has 110 horsepower. Despite the superiority of the Korean car in this performance, the German lags behind only in the initial set of speed up to 60 kilometers per hour. As for the set of the first hundred kilometers per hour, they do it on an equal footing. Solaris can accelerate in 11.2 seconds and Polo can accelerate in 11.7 seconds. Despite this, in all other driving parameters, the Korean car looks much more preferable.

With regard to behavior on the road, then Polo car in this case significantly loses Korean car... Yet the German does not shift gears as smoothly as the younger Korean. If we talk about the sport mode, then in this case everything goes even more poorly.

Multimedia Polo

In terms of chassis tuning, the first and second car are doing just fine. It is difficult for any car to be named the winner in this case.

If we talk about the Korean version, then looking at it, it's hard to believe that it can offer such high-quality indicators. A fairly ordinary, modest car, it can please with an unusual multifunctional steering wheel. In addition, the car's behavior on the road is literally perfect. It can take turns very easily even on standard tires... At the same time, the car shows such behavior not even on the highest quality and reliable roads.

The German car is able to please with no less high-quality behavior on the road. However, the Volkswagen Polo will not be able to show such confident performance on uneven and difficult roads as the Hyundai Solaris, but this by no means suggests which is better. Despite this, the German car is much quieter than the Korean. This can be attributed to the main advantages of the sedan. As for the Korean version, it has much lower quality sound insulation. If we talk about the soundproofing of the cabin, then in this case the difference becomes much more noticeable when traveling around the city. Without a doubt, the ride is comfortable enough both in the first and in the second case.

Outcomes

Both cars are truly among the best in this price range. It is difficult to choose a winner among these two giants. If you choose in terms of passenger comfort, then, of course, you should choose a German car. But if more comfortable road behavior is required, then the Korean version will be the winner. It is worth choosing solely based on your own preferences. Among other things, it is simply impossible to ignore the cost of cars. In this case, a German car looks like a more acceptable option. If there is a need to get more comfort for the driver, then it is still worth overpaying a little.

From the point of view of the design performance of the body, the Korean Solaris looks much more interesting here. It is for this reason that many people choose this particular car without paying special attention on the technical component. Without a doubt, the Polo looks pretty decent too. In any case, choose which is better: Hyundai Solaris or Volkswagen Polo, you need to carefully and wisely.
