Diesel-powered cars and SUVs were once all the rage in India. However, reduction in the price gap between petrol and diesel fuel and ever-tightening emission norms have led to a dip in the popularity of diesel cars and SUVs. Currently, diesel cars command a market share of 22%, which is a huge dip from the above 50% market share diesel passenger cars enjoyed in 2012-13.
In this article, we list out the diesel cars and SUVs that are priced under Rs. 10.0 lakh (ex-showroom) that you can buy in India currently.

2. Kia Sonet
Kia offer the Sonet with a 1.5L turbo diesel engine and the base HTE variant is expected to cost 9.95 lakh (ex-showroom).
