In diesel cars-biased era, we pick the top five hatchbacks that stand out in the crowded segment.

Rev-happy (and thirsty) petrol-powered cars have had their time under the spotlight in the Indian market. However with the petrol prices heading the wrong way every other week, it seems natural then, to say that we have now officially entered into the ‘diesel era’.
Today, huge chunk of potential car buyers not only look for a car that pleases the eye or the list of toys it comes with, but also how economical the car is to run – the latter sadly, being the deciding factor in these difficult times. A seemingly natural solution then, is to go the diesel way.
And luckily for us, there are plenty of options in the Indian market today to pick a practical diesel-powered hatch that will get the most bang for your hard-earned buck.
To ease things out for you, we have settled on five diesel-powered hatchbacks that are currently on sale in India.
