so if the car is driven too slow in high gear (50 - 60kmph in 5th gear).
can it damage the engine ?

doing slow speed 50-60 in top gears of diesel cars should be okay

i think depends on what car because each car is different. they all have different weight, gear ratio, power delivery, transmission type and bla bla.
Does ur car jerks at 50kmph? i wouldn't drive my car in 5th gear at such low speeds all the time, when i know i would consume more fuel. Thats y we have other low gears.

yeah true. Petrol cars struggle at 50-60 in 5th gear. diesel cars mostly can take that without an issue

yup. diesel engines have better power delivery than petrol. Diesel engines have more torque and the low end torque starts at very low rpms.
But, u can achieve some extra torque by turbo or super charging the petrol engine.
