I am looking for an SUV in the budget range of Rs 20 lakh-25 lakh and I am confused as to whether to buy a diesel or a petrol. If it’s the former, should I worry about the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) clogging? Most of my driving time is in the city at up to 60 km/h.

Autocar India says: DPF-equipped BS6 diesel engines require a DPF regeneration procedure on a regular basis to avoid filter clogging.

Although the vehicle attempts to regenerate itself or regenerate itself every 300 km to ignite the soot retained by the DPF, it nevertheless requires a high exhaust temperature to be reached when the engine is at constant load or if The vehicle maintains a speed of over 60 km/h for about 30 minutes.

Since most of your daily activities will take place in the city with many stops, it’s a good idea to choose a gas-powered vehicle to avoid problems in the long run.
