Volkswagen Polo 1.6 vs Skoda Fabia 1.6 : Comparison

Jul 12, 2011, While the Polo catches more eyeballs than most entry level sedans, the pride of ownership in the case of the Fabia begins only once you step inside.
The hatchback offering in India today, suddenly seems so diverse, so evolved and so far above mediocrity that terms such as style and status no longer seem disassociated with the segment. Two great hatches from two great car makers sharing the same big umbrella now see a noticeable presence in the country, and though some of their key areas need improvement, they have literally powered their way into India’s small car market.

The Volkswagen Polo 1.6 and the Skoda Fabia 1.6 MPI, are currently the most muscular hatchbacks in India. Powering the 1.6 L model of the Polo is the same 1598 cc petrol engine that is used by the Volkswagen Vento. This powerful engine on the Polo gives it an impressive 105 PS of power and 153 Nm of Torque. The Skoda Fabia like its Volkswagen cousin is also now available with an identical 1.6 l petrol version, needless to say it produces the same power and creates similar torque curves in its power band. http://www.zigwheels.com/reviews-advice/reviews/volkswagen-polo-16-vs-skoda-fabia-16-comparison/8911/1
