Diesel Cars in India

      • About Diesel Cars

        Just like petrol vehicles, diesel vehicles also use internal combustion engines. The only difference between these two fuel types is that while diesel engines have a compression-ignited injection system, petrol cars are operated with a spark-ignited system.

        Diesel fuel directs the fluid into the combustion chamber in a compression-ignited system. Afterwards, the gas gets injected into the engine piston that ignites at a high temperature. Diesel is a commonly used transportation fuel and uses the same components and engine systems as other fuel types.

        Although petrol is cheaper, diesel is much more fuel-efficient. By investing in a diesel car, you can have 25 % more mileage than any other fuel type car. Due to this reason, a major chunk of vehicle users prefers diesel variants. And it's also why several Indian vehicle manufacturers focus mainly on diesel car production.

        Modern-day diesel cars give a better fuel economy due to their high-pressure fuel-injection systems. The best aspect of owning a diesel car is you would have a low fire hazard. Diesel-powered motors cannot ignite if they are not exposed to direct heat, while other fuel car types can catch fire by a spark.

        Selecting the Best Diesel Cars In India

        New-age diesel cars are far more improved and way better than the old ones. These cars no longer produce black smoke and are not only used by the farmer. Today's diesel motors have been improved and refined, so much so that these engines are no more recognizable. For that reason, so many well-renowned car manufacturers have taken an interest in investing more in diesel car manufacturing.

        The buyers would have an easier time when maintaining a diesel car. Because the diesel engine is differently built, it doesn't take much time to care for it. A diesel engine is devoid of spark plugs and wires, distributor, and electronic ignition. And fewer components mean there will be fewer parts to exchange.

        Types of Diesel Cars

        Midsize Sedan – Midsize sedans are one of the best diesel-fuelled cars. If you have a requirement or an impact car you will use for long drives with your loved ones; this diesel vehicle is the perfect car for you.

        Trucks – Most trucks run on diesel. And the most common reason behind it is its greater compressive resistance. Due to diesel motors, trucks can take more loads easily rather than the trucks that run on petrol.

        SUVs – SUVs are one of the most loved car types, and most of these also run-on diesels. SUV cars are rugged and can ride on uneven roads easily; a diesel-powered car perfectly complements its functions.

        Convertibles – Thinking about diesel-fuelled convertibles was impossible a few years ago. But modern-age convertible cars run on diesel and are refined and quiet.

        Popular Diesel Cars in India

        Citroen C5 Aircross –

        Citroen C5 Aircross offers high-speed ride quality, and it is also superb look wise. Not only have that, despite being fuelled by diesel, but this car also offers fantastic noise-cancellation when compared with other diesel vehicles. You might hear a little diesel thrum when it gets on the throttle at a low speed. This luxurious car has a look and the comfort factor most people seek out.

        Mercedes-Benz GLA –

        Although the look of this car is enough to compel you, Mercedes-Benz GLA has so many features that are hard to find. You will not hear the engine running until you run it to the full speed. This Mercedes can hit 60/100 km in a swift 3.26/7.22 seconds. Your love for speed deserves this diesel-powered car.

        Honda Amaze –

        To experience a comfortable ride, you must invest in the Honda Amaze. This model gives a large storage capacity with a spacious cabin and boot. The compact diesel CVT engine is undoubtedly a plus point. Aside from that, its looks are definitely to die for.

        BMW 5 Series –

        Do you want to feel royal while driving your car? This diesel car is competent for it. Getting behind the wheels of the BMW 5 Series is quite an enjoyable experience. You would get three driving modes– Eco Pro, Sport and Comfort. All in all, this one is an excellent choice for car enthusiasts.
