WOW !! WOW !! WOW !! At that price - WOW !!

pb10gagan · 29th December 2009, 14:10

I doubt, that kind of pricing, with just "more than 40%" of localization. Is the price a guesstimation?

But anyways the package seems great, and quite a value for money.

Turning radius is going to be a pain in the city.

Would a 69 bhp 3 cylinder be adequate for this car that house a lot of equipment?

What is a telescopic steering wheel adjust?

Why is the air filter inside wheel housing? Would it be judicious for our muddy conditions?

jkdas · 29th December 2009, 14:10

ABS with EBD, 15 inch with alloys, airbags at 4.5lac ! Great pricing.

How much does BEAT cost?

Edit: emm 185; FE ? And turning radius is a bit too much?

What about the boot space? Is it more than the rivals? If at all VW launches the Polo at this price, its a very tempting package with twin airbags, EBD and stuffs. Sounds a steal !!

anurag_p80 · 29th December 2009, 14:15

Awesome pricing with those features. 15" alloys, ABS+EBD, Airbags @4.5L is great VFM.....bring it on VW

grules · 29th December 2009, 14:15

Rs. 4,50,000-4,70,000 ex-showroom.

Unbelievable pricing. Let's wait and watch what's in store.

wow o wow man, thats unbelievable price to be expected with the range of list it carries as you said.

DieselAddikt · 29th December 2009, 14:23

4.5L Ex-Showroom is more than tempting. I recently bought a hatch. Have to think of some new ways to enjoy this car now.

Jebs · 29th December 2009, 14:24

Amazing !!! At this price tag, this much of features is absolutely unbelivable. Pricing would be around 5.5 lac to 5.7 is also a real worthy. I definitely buy this with the eyes-closed if they price it 4.5 lac.

drashkum · 29th December 2009, 14:24

i really really doubt the pricing since there is only 40% localization!!. let us wait for the pricing.

If they give the same spec for the pricing quoted (4.5-4.7l), i will be the first one to book

No way they can price it this side of 5Lakh with 40% localization and with all those standard equipments.

Lets wait and watch!

Sudan_NFS · 29th December 2009, 14:28

VW is trying to imply that German cars are more safer than other manufactures by providing safety features as standard.

Great job VW!!

So the Higher version might have a 1.4 engine or even bigger!

Jebs · 29th December 2009, 14:29

I'm sure that POLO competes with 3.99 lac to 8 lac(i.e Jazz) category hatchbacks which none other did before(TreadLine variant).

Latheesh · 29th December 2009, 14:29

40% localization with all those features price 4.5-4.7 is bit unrealistic. But let us wait and watch.

Scoop master now please go and update Indicruz thread :-))
