If you are looking for a Diesel Hatchback and need an easy reference comparison sheet for all the new vehicle models available in India – you have come to the right post. If you have reached here in error and Petrol Hatchbacks are what you want take a look at Petrol Super Hatchbacks Comparison<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The vehicles I have compiled the technical specifications and key features for include the Ford Fusion Plus TDCi, Skoda Fabia TDI Elegance, Hyundai Getz Prime CDRI GVS, Maruti Suzuki Swift VDI ABS, Maruti Suzuki Ritz VDI ABS, Tata Indica Vista Aura Quadrajet, Fiat Palio Stile Multijet SDX and the long running Tata Indica V2 DLS. The maximum price of the vehicles I have listed is under 9 Lakhs (on road). Frankly – if you are spending more than 6.5 lakhs for a hatchback – you better have some really good reasons not to go in for a sedan.<\/p>\n

Indian Diesel Hatchback Trivia:<\/span><\/strong>

**Best Ground Clearance: <\/strong>Ford Fusion Plus (The number needs to be checked – I got it from the Ford website – but it puts\u00a0offroaders\u00a0to shame)<\/p>\n

Here is the data sheet: Diesel Hatchbacks Comparison<\/a>\u00a0to help you choose the car for you. If you need help deciding or have questions please feel free to ask through the comments or through the contact form<\/a>.<\/p>\n
