The opinions about diesel cars are split. While some people blame them for most various things including the extreme weather we’ve seen lately, others welcome their benefits. For example, Australian police will get 80 BMW 530d vehicles for their highway patrol next year.
The choice might seem odd at first, being that the Australian authorities’ fleet features cars like Lexus RC-F and other high-performance vehicles, but the 530d might just be the right choice. It can go around 1,000 km on a full tank which is pretty handy for the big country like Australia. The 3.0-liter straight-six engine it comes with needs only 5.7 seconds to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h which is more than adequate.
The vehicles will be properly equipped for police needs, including visual design.
