According to recent reports, diesel interest is growing among long-distance commuters, commercial drivers and rural populations. Many former EV owners have expressed frustration with charging infrastructure and rising electricity costs.
Modern diesel cars offer excellent fuel economy, strong torque, and reliable range — and are now cleaner than ever, thanks to emission control technologies.
