Petrol vs Diesel — Which to Choose?
| Parameter | Petrol 2.0T | Diesel 2.2 |
| Power | 203 PS | 175 PS |
| Torque | 380 Nm | 400 Nm |
| Mileage (ARAI) | 13.9 KMPL | 16.2 KMPL |
| Running Cost/km | ₹7.6/km | ₹5.6/km |
| Monthly Saving (1500 km) | — | ₹3,000/month |
| Price Difference | Cheaper by ₹1L | ₹1L more |
| Best For | City use, short trips | Highway, 1000+ km/month |
💡 Decision Rule: If you drive more than 1,200 km/month, the diesel pays for its ₹1L premium in under 3 years through fuel savings. Below 800 km/month — petrol is cheaper overall and more refined in city traffic.
