Should You Buy Hyundai Elantra Petrol Or Diesel?
With the Elantra diesel manual, you can recover the upfront cost of the diesel engine in about 40,000km. This is down to the reasonable premium for the diesel engine and its significantly higher mileage figure. So, the Hyundai Elantra diesel is worth buying if you plan to cover 50,000km.
The Elantra diesel-automatic takes a big hit compared to the manual because of the fluid coupling of the torque converter automatic transmission. So, you’ll need to cover about 55,000km to break even despite the same price gap as the Elantra manual. So, we’ll suggest you to consider the Elantra diesel-automatic over the petrol-automatic if you plan to cover 75,000km or more to make it financially feasible.
