Unlike the majority of the car manufacturers in India, Kia is still offering Diesel variants in its car. Most of the manufacturers have stopped Diesel variants and chosen EVs over them. However, considering the market requirement, there is still a major chunk who believe diesel engines are value for money.

As compared to the petrol engines, the diesel one offer better mileage and the overall cost of refuelling is very less. Though the petrol engine offers better performance and refinement. What do you consider while purchasing a car? share with us in the comments section.
