Our Top 10 Best Diesel Cars To Drive In 2020

Plenty of Diesel Models Available to Lease NOW at Flexed!

 

Despite negative coverage over the past couple of years, diesel cars are still a popular choice for thousands of motorists here in the UK and it’s understandable, as overall they tend to offer better fuel economy than a petrol car does.

Undoubtedly, if behind the wheel you cover around 12,500 to 15,000 miles per year, then a diesel model could possibly be the best option for you. Any driver who does a lot of miles in their vehicle will definitely notice savings at the pump when driving a diesel car compared to a petrol.

Be that as it may, other factors do play a role in the overall decision as to whether a petrol or diesel is the best option for you. If you spend a lot of time driving in and around urban areas, in stop-start traffic on a daily basis, then your worry about local air pollution might put you off a diesel car and might not be the best choice.

However, if you live in a small village or town or most of your miles are covered away from the city, then a diesel car might just be the ideal choice for you.

A lot of diesel cars can easily return more than 50mpg under the much tougher WLTP testing and emit lower CO2 emissions than their petrol counterparts.

Because of how a diesel engine produces its power, they tend to be more suited to bigger cars and on long motorway journeys, they swiftly drop into a calming, gentle pace. This doesn’t mean they’re uninspiring and not as exciting to drive though as a petrol car.

The acceleration from 0-62mph on a diesel car might not be one of its biggest strengths, however, once you’re moving and accelerating through the gears, especially around corners or during an overtake, the performance you get from a diesel powered car can be remarkable.

Diesel does still tend to be the engine of choice when it comes to heavy cars and large SUVs because it’s ideal for pulling bigger loads, however this doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to lease a big, heavy car just to take advantage of the power that diesel gives you, as there are now numerous smaller cars to choose from that offer diesel models as an option.
