A year ago these cars made no sense. A lakh more for some puffy bumpers meant only the style obsessed bought these hopped up cars. But today the game has changed with the Avventura and now the new i20 Active. These cars are closer to the real deal with raised suspension and more features over their standard siblings. Finally, there’s actually a valid reason to buy one. We wanted to compare every ‘cross’ car available but Volkswagen didn’t have a Cross Polo to give us. And from the couple of dealerships we spoke to, one claims the car is out of production while the other says it is available on order. In simple terms the Volkswagen Cross Polo doesn’t seem to be selling in very significant numbers. That leaves the Toyota Etios Cross to take on the new Hyundai i20 Active and Fiat Avventura.
