Why do people always assume "city cars" can't do long road trips? I don't get it. They're just as good for long trips and shouldn't be relegated to this weird city car category.

[williamparry]

Should have mentioned servicing costs too, I had a 2018 Polo and paid $800 for a 30k service! I noticed the Rio has 7 years warranty and called serving too, to me THATS unbeatable in this class

[NGMonocrom]

Unfortunately, being a VW, long-term reliability is almost guaranteed to be an issue with the Polo. Buyers in this segment for whom such a purchase is going to be their only car out of budgetary necessity, are far more likely to keep their vehicle for many years. At least compared to buyers shopping above this segment.

When it comes to that, the RIO with it's above average warranty ends up looking like the more sensible choice over the Polo.

I stay in South Africa a polo is a High risk I’ll rather stick to the Swift for a peace of mind

[AlainHubert]

Brought to you by VW.
The clear winner is the Kia witth its reliability, generous equipment list and 7 years warranty. The VW will break down much sooner than that (only 3 years warranty because the manufacturer doesn't have any confidence in its product made in Brazil, China, Spain, or South Africa).

I'd probably go with the Swift for handling and reliability reasons

[jaliyaudagama]

The ultimate luxury is peace of mind. In that front the suzuki is unbeatable. Suzuki has done way better than VW group in UK reliability surveys, especially the What Car?surveys .

[hughventer]

First car buyers don’t have $25, 000 to fork out on a vw polo

[realman]

Most reliable is the Switf, close the Rio snd much worst is the polo.
The best Engine is the swift, rio 4 cilynder the worst is the polo.3 cilynder
Best transmission is the swift, polo the worst is the rio.
Best car swift, rio, worst polo
The best Interior os the polo bu

I like my 2013 Yaris pretty well, with good mileage, zippy handling, and manoeuvrability in city car parks. And by the way, here in the real world, I'm perfectly happy taking it on 800 km per day road trips, two-up.
If I was buying today, it would be the Kia all day. The 7 year warranty and capped price servicing are a big deal.
The Suzi is cramped and undercooked; and the Polo is too expensive, with reliability and Dieselgate being question marks.

[muckspreaderable]

Another biased review paid for by VAG.So predictable that the most boring car wins.

[Mexxx]

What no Yaris and Picanto included? why include the aging VW Polo?

[gpierre]

Was no surprise that the VW would be the winner here, since it has a more luxurious interior and perhaps practicality wise better however I will not say it is more fun or more dynamic than the Suzuki Swift, I use to own the previous Swift and I loved how it drives, the Kia is like Meh, for me the new Hyundai i20 is better looking and drives better than the new Rio and lets be honest, the Rio needs an update.

[nawanekhomo]

The Suzuki is the new or real People's car right now in terms of price and quality 👌👌👌 just can't go wrong with Japanese vehicle but love the Vivo not that Polo with plastic water pump 👎👎👎👎

[jamiep]

Since Filming a Facelift for the Volkswagen Polo has been revealed. There will be a option of a 9.2 Inch Infotainment System

two remaning upper large luxury suv and medium suv which one will come out first

[donaldostrem]

Today I purchased a 2022 Kia Rio s. You call these Citi cars or small cars but this is the only car I need to have. I only wished here in the United States they would have the Volkswagen Polo or the Suzuki Swift for better buying options. Automakers like toyota, hyundai, have discontinued their fit, accent, and Yaris. Instead, they're offering small SUVs like the Hyundai venue. I feel like for a smaller carb where people can buy cars instead of buying a used one.

[neila]

It probably drives like a dream like all VWs, it looks great, like all VWs and the interior is classy and won't date, like all VWs. It's also a VW in terms of reliability and after sales service. I've been burnt three times by VW's appalling customer service (Australia and Germany) and that's before factoring in Dieselgate, where they were totally exposed as frauds. I understand why it features in the top 3, but a VW should never win if you truly care about customer welfare. Perhaps VW pays CarAdvice big bucks and pampers its reviewers? You betcha.

[vkvdvrt]

What an odd matching. I was expecting the suzuki swift to be reviewed against a Mitsubishi Triton and BMW 7 series to match the peculiarity of the other comparison videos that CA has trundled out with this week.

[MLife]

What is with the top of the Rio dashboard? It's all warped and uneven. Very dodgy (at the 4 min mark).
