What four-cylinder diesel cars are available?

Asked by Andrea Stamer Middle Park

I WANT to buy a new, small, four-cylinder diesel hatchback. Are these types of diesels currently only available here from the European prestige makers? Is there talk of brands such as Toyota, Holden and Ford making such a diesel available here?

AT THE moment the Europeans lead the way with diesels, driven on by European countries that provide concessions to car buyers to go diesel and reduce the dependence on oil. Though local makers are all looking at diesels, there are no plans to introduce them. Probably the most interesting new diesel model to arrive here is the VW Caddy Life, a Golf-based people mover. All cars sold here with diesel engines have the latest technology. There's little to pick between them.
