Is diesel a good choice? | Deep Drive Podcast Ep.32 | Autocar India

In 2012, diesels made up over 50 percent of car and SUV sales in India. That figure is down to just 18 percent today.

Hormazd Sorabjee - Editor, Autocar India - and Ketan Thakkar - Editor, Autocar Professional - share their insights on this episode of the Autocar Deep Drive Podcast powered by Kotak Mahindra Prime.
