Diesel cars are in great demand among the Indian buyers especially because of the fuel price. There was a time when diesel engines weren’t preferred because they required more service and had other shortcomings. But with changing times, the car manufacturers have managed to refine the diesel engines, so that they give a drive that is as smooth as what a petrol engine offers. In this growing trend of diesel cars, we have here for you a list of top 5 cheapest diesel cars in India that carry a price tag lower than Rs. 6 lakh.
