Best Diesel Automatic Cars

The Hyundai Verna is arguably the best C-segment sedan available in India today. If not the best overall, it is definitely the best-looking sedan on the market today. The Next-Gen Verna is available with a 1.6-litre diesel mill, which is also the most powerful engine option available. The engine is available mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. The new Hyundai Verna is also packed with a lot of comfort and safety features. Above all that, it has won the prestigious ‘Indian Car Of The Year (ICOTY) 2018’ award – a good enough reason to make it a worthy buy!

The Nexon is one of the strongest contenders in the compact-SUV segment. It is also the first compact-SUV from the Indian brand. The funky looks derived from Tata’s Impact Design 2.0 philosophy has won in attracting the younger mass. Available with a 1.5-litre Revotorq diesel mill, the Nexon comes mated to either a 6-speed manual or an AMT gearbox. The Tata Nexon offers just enough to be a practical, yet fun, daily. The compact-SUV also ticks a lot of boxes, if features are what you are looking for.

With its sharp and elegant styling, the Hyundai Creta is preferred mostly by young families. The body shows a mature form of Hyundai’s ‘Fluidic’ design language and offers enough space for five passengers. The new Creta comes feature-rich and doesn’t compromise on safety either. For all these reasons, the Hyundai Creta even became the best-selling SUV in India at a point. There are two diesel engines on option: 1.4-litre and 1.6-litre. The 1.4-litre unit comes mated to a 6-speed manual while the 1.6-litre engine can be opted with a 6-speed automatic too.

The second-generation Honda Amaze comes with a lighter chassis and more spacious interiors. Though the overall looks of the Honda Amaze aren’t great, the car has been getting good market response since its launch. The Amaze is the first Honda to get the brand’s i-DTEC diesel engine. The Amaze diesel is also available mated to a CVT. In fact, the Honda Amaze is the first and only diesel-CVT compact-sedan available in India. The 1.5-litre unit is the same as in the bigger Honda City.
