Maintenance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compared\nto a petrol car, the maintenance cost of a diesel car tends to be more over the\nlifetime of the vehicle. This is because spare parts of a diesel engine are\nmore expensive and the engine itself is more susceptible to wear and tear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expense<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diesel\ncars are more expensive than the petrol variant of the same car. However, they\nare known to last longer and depreciate slower, so the extra price may seem\nsomewhat justified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Insurance\nCost<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nparts of a diesel vehicle are more expensive, and a diesel car itself is much\ncostlier than a petrol car. As a result, the insurance cost of a diesel car\ntends to be around 10-15% higher than its petrol counterpart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Engine<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In\nterms of overall refinement, petrol engine outscores over a diesel engine. The\nnoise, vibration and harshness level in diesel cars are higher. However,\nhigh-end diesel cars are almost as soundless as petrol cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mileage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diesel\ncars give much better mileage than petrol cars. Therefore, for people who\ntravel long distances on a daily basis, the diesel car is a more cost-effective\noption. With a price lower than petrol, diesel is cheaper in terms of mileage\nand per liter price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Environment-friendly<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diesel\ncars release particulate matters while petrol cars release almost none. Diesel\ncars are therefore not environment-friendly, compared to petrol cars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Resale<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another important point is the resale value of a car. People nowadays prefer going in for used cars and the second hand cars market has really opened up. Diesel used cars are known to have a superior resale value. As a result, it can be expensive to buy second hand cars of a diesel variant. However, price is not a problem due to the easy availability of used car loans available today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A second hand car loan is a popular loan product and you can have various options for arranging used car finance. Tata Capital offers used car loan<\/a> in India with attractive rates and flexible tenure and repayment terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
