VW Polo Is European Car Of The Year 2010

Volkswagen Polo India launch is expected by 2010 New Delhi Auto Expo.India is eagerly waiting to receive this much acclaimed hatchback, meanwhile VW Polo made another major achievement by winning European Car Of The Year 2010.In this stiff competition VW Polo surpassed many world class cars with ease.The nearest competitor is Toyota I.Q. which managed to score 337 points while Polo scored 347 points.

European Car Of The Year 2010 award was decided by a panel of 59 European judges.The total number of participants of this year’s European Car Of The Year contest was 33.These cars were chosen by a panel of  eminent  car journalists across the Europe.The top seven contestants are as follows,

1. Volkswagen Polo 347 points, 59 votes, 25 vote wins

2. Toyota iQ 337 points, 58 votes, 20 vote wins

3. Opel/Vauxhall Astra 221 points, 55 votes, 5 vote wins

4. Skoda Yeti 158 points, 54 votes, 4 vote wins

5. Mercedes-Benz E-class 155 points, 48 votes, 2 wins

6. Peugeot 3008 144 points, 49 votes, 2 vote wins

7. Citroen C3 Picasso 113 points, 47 votes, 1 win

One interesting observation could be Polo has been voted above two well proven cars,Skoda Yeti and Mercedes Benz E-Class.The rating and judgement have done on total value proposition of the car, not only on luxury aspects of the car.We are expecting Skoda Yeti in India in upcoming 2010 Auto Expo.So India will become another warfront for these German engineering marvels.

VW Polo is expected to be priced below 4.5lakhs in India.The Indian version  of Polo may be a stripped version of the European Polo.So we can wait and see what is there for India in form of Polo.Soon after VW Polo’s hatchback arrival we may witness the VW Polo Sedan also.So lots of excitements waiting ahead, be with us!
