BS-6 Diesel-Powered Cars Under Rs. 10 Lakh

The BS-VI compliance norms have resulted in diesel cars getting even more expensive. The reason for the price hike is that cars running on diesel require expensive additions as compared to petrol-powered vehicles to comply with the same emission norms. The price variance between the two types of vehicles can easily span over a lakh. If you are someone who is searching for a diesel-powered vehicle that will not burn a hole in your wallet, then there are quite a few options for you to choose from. Here is a list of a few fine BS6 diesel cars under Rs.10 lakh:

The interiors are comfortable, made out of top-tier materials. Paired with a five-star safety rating, this vehicle starts at 5.99 lakhs and offers an average mileage of 25 km/l. These things make the car a seriously considerable option.
