BS-6 Diesel-Powered Cars Under Rs. 10 Lakh

The BS-VI compliance norms have resulted in diesel cars getting even more expensive. The reason for the price hike is that cars running on diesel require expensive additions as compared to petrol-powered vehicles to comply with the same emission norms. The price variance between the two types of vehicles can easily span over a lakh. If you are someone who is searching for a diesel-powered vehicle that will not burn a hole in your wallet, then there are quite a few options for you to choose from. Here is a list of a few fine BS6 diesel cars under Rs.10 lakh:
TATA ALTROZ

The interiors are comfortable, made out of top-tier materials. Paired with a five-star safety rating, this vehicle starts at 5.99 lakhs and offers an average mileage of 25 km/l. These things make the car a seriously considerable option.

Also known as the i10 Grand, the Hyundai Aura is fairly new to the Indian market. It is a premium-quality sedan and an exceptionally brilliant afterthought to the company's i10 Nios. The vehicle's diesel engine complies with BS6 norms, and it comes with automatic transmission as well. Starting at 7.75 lakhs, the car offers an impressive average mileage of 26 km/l. The 1197 cc engine is quite powerful as well.
HONDA AMAZE

The Honda Amaze recently got introduced with a BS6-compliant diesel engine, which is the reason why it is present on the list. Its 1.5-litre diesel engine comes in both transmission variants. This vehicle is only one under the 10-lakh range which comes equipped with a straight auto gearbox. The automatic transmission variant comparatively offers less power as well as torque. The car's price starts from 7.5 lakhs and rivals the likes of Maruti Suzuki DZire and the Aura by Honda. The 2022 diesel variants begin at Rs 8.73 lakhs.

Nexon starts at 8.45 lakhs and gives serious competition to all the other cars in the range.
All of these cars feature engines that follow the BS6 norms which aim at reducing pollution and maintaining cleanliness. If you are searching for a diesel-powered car under the 10-lakh mark, compare the features of all these vehicles and choose the one which suits your needs perfectly.
