Frequently asked questions
What are the primary advantages of diesel cars?
Diesel cars are known for superior fuel efficiency (meaning more kilometres per litre), higher torque for better towing and acceleration, and often greater durability for high mileage, making them economical for frequent travellers.
Are diesel cars more expensive to maintain?
Modern diesel engines are highly reliable, but service costs are sometimes higher due to specific filter systems (DPFs) and components. However, this is often offset by their fuel efficiency and longevity.
Is it challenging to find diesel cars for sale in my area?
Diesel cars remain popular in South Africa, particularly in provinces like Gauteng. Weelee connects you with a broad selection of used cars for sale, including many diesel models, making your search easy.
Are diesel cars bad for the environment?
Modern diesel cars (Euro 5/6 standards and newer) are significantly cleaner than older models, fitted with advanced filtration systems to reduce emissions. Due to better fuel efficiency, they often emit less CO2 than equivalent petrol cars.
Do diesel cars perform differently from petrol cars?
Diesel cars typically offer more low-end torque, translating to an intense “pulling” sensation and excellent performance for towing or carrying heavy loads. Petrol cars often feel more rev-happy at higher RPMs.
