Most Indians are obsessed with mileage and it plays a prominent role when it comes to choosing cars. Smaller diesel car was the choice of many in the past decade mainly due to lower fuel cost and higher fuel efficiency than their petrol cars. Most entry-level and midsegment diesel cars like Swift, Dzire, Punto, SX4, Brezza and many others came with the 1.3 Litre SDE MJD engine, which is phased out due to the BS6 emission norms. Hence the choice of new diesel cars is going to be limited for some time.
With the advent of BS6 compliance, auto manufacturers have stepped up their game in developing the most fuel-efficient diesel cars. These compliances are directed towards a much cleaner and brighter future with reduced emission levels.
