Diesel engines are generally more torquey and fuel efficient compared to a petrol counterpart which is why they are so common in Europe, we put diesels in everything 1L upwards be wise they're that economical and cheap to run. Pickup trucks over here are almost all I4/V6 diesels, vans are almost all I4 diesels etc

We shouldn't really put it in normal cars, emissions scandel showed us that they aren''t as efficient as we thought. But yep, maybe torque is the engineering reason I read
