Passenger diesel engines in Russia are traditionally disliked. It’s not entirely clear why, but it has been that way since the 90s. The situation is strange against the backdrop of love for heavy-fuel cargo power units. Professionals appreciated the advantages of diesel engines back in the Soviet years. These motors provide traction for trucks with low fuel consumption. In the 90s, merchants began to buy minibuses. Naturally, diesel. Those who could not raise enough money for a Ford, Fiat or Mercedes had to make do with Gazelles. Although, the Gorky Automobile Plant dreamed of a diesel engine. As a result, he received it and began to install it en masse on the GAZelle Next. Not his own, however, but American Cummins, but made in China.
But passenger cars in Russia are mostly gasoline. But many ride diesel foreign cars and are satisfied. The purchase of such a car is relevant for those who drive 100-300 km a day. Then you can save a lot of money. It is believed that a diesel car should be bought new or up to 10 years old. But there are legendary motors, "millionaires". Despite the years, they still delight their owners, who often have time to change many times. I will name only a couple of indices that will make the heart of an avid diesel driver beat faster - these are OM602 Mercedes and BMW M57. And you yourself will see the rest in the video of the Tip Top channel.
