•4wMy monthly running is between 2500 and 3500 km. I am currently using a diesel car and prefer to keep it till the warranty. After that, should I buy a diesel or a hybrid for 1000km highway, rest city?

•3wFor example, TaTa Harrier diesel and petrol heads deliver almost equal fuel efficiency. Means no running cost difference but still, periodically DEF top up will make a diesel ICE running cost higher. and after 3-4 years, BS -6 Diesel one is a complete headache as frequent failure or sensors, DPF, Catalytic converter issues, increased NVH . Petrol engines have been modernized now for Atkinson cycle to take on maximum fuel efficiency. and that come without headache, , for atleast 10 years

•3wRunning cost of petrol car is lower than that of same diesel ICE car. Diesel price may sound cheaper but DEF fluid, Catalytic Converter repair cost, DPF cleaning cost, and regular maintenance makes is higher than petrol one. and future struck norms are always possible to tighten diesel cars. Some petrol cars too delivery attractive fuel efficiency at par diesel ICE ones.
