Increasing demand of Diesel-driven car models

Car Demand Dieseling ahead.

Diesel car variants are speeding ahead in demand in comparison to their petrol variants.

Diesel models already account for more than 80% of the production for a few models like Skoda India, Telco…
Toyota and Fiat are already gearing up, for the launch of their diesel variants in India. Fiat plans to launch the diesel version of the Palio/Siena in the first half of the year and Toyota is also contemplating a diesel version of the Corolla.

Even traditional petrol car markets like Delhi and Mumbai are succumbing to this new wave of diesel cars. This may have to do with the benefits diesel vehicles have to offer car users, for e.g. Turbo diesel power, low maintenance…and the competitive pricing.

Even the upper segment cars are displaying a shift to the diesel era.
Diesel car sales, for Mercedes Benz, diesel car sales account for 55%.

Rising petrol prices seemed to be the culprit behind the increasing demand for Diesel vehicles.
