Does the Patrol have a diesel version?
1 Answers
The Patrol does not have a diesel version. Below is relevant information about gasoline and diesel versions of vehicles: Characteristics of gasoline-powered vehicles: Gasoline-powered vehicles require only a small size and light weight to achieve high performance and faster response speeds. The wide RPM range also provides a better driving experience. However, gasoline engines have relatively low thermal efficiency, commonly referred to as "higher fuel consumption." Characteristics of diesel-powered vehicles: Diesel-powered vehicles are heavier than gasoline-powered ones. However, due to the high compression ratio and low RPM characteristics of diesel engines, they can convert heat into kinetic energy more efficiently. As a result, diesel engines offer better thermal efficiency, meaning improved fuel economy.
