The price of Hyundai i20 ranges between Rs. 4.85 lakh and Rs. 7.88 lakh while Volkswagen Cross Polo is being offered at Rs. 7.76 lakh. There seems to a good variation in prices of these two vehicles and from this perspective, Hyundai i20 is fairing much better than its rival. However, one should not forget that this is due to the fact that Cross Polo does not come with multiple variants. On the contrary, Hyundai i20 has several variants to start with, hence a remarkable difference in price form an outer look. Thus, here it would be worth to notice that the top model of i20 has almost the same price as that of Cross Polo. But again, in terms of flexibility of the price range, i20 is certainly better prospect for those buyers who are willing to go for the base model at low price. But, again, this fact should not prevent us from checking performance and other aspects of these two vehicles.
