Over the next few years, the number of automakers offering diesel engines will continue to increase. Below is a list of forthcoming diesel cars we know about -- and when to expect them to go on sale.
Below are links to reviews of the gas versions of some of those cars.
2007 BMW 328i and 335i Sedans
Yes, you read that right. Only a couple years after their debut, BMW's 325i and 330i four-door sedans are slipping out the door with nary a wave goodbye. Taking their place are the 328i and 335i four-doors-powered by a 220-hp, normally-aspirated 3.0-liter six |
2007 BMW X5
Like its predecessor, the second-generation X5 disappoints when it goes off the beaten track. Instead of offering a height-adjustable air suspension, it can be had with such pavement-oriented goodies as active steering, adjustable antiroll bars, and switchable |
2008 Honda Accord
The Sports 4 concept, which is nominally based on the Honda Accord platform, foretells a new four-wheel-drive sport sedan and also showcases a possible new direction for Honda styling, which the company calls "Keen Edge Dynamics." The front end reminds us of t |
2007 Hyundai Veracruz
What do you think of when you hear the name Hyundai? Value for money? Great warranty? Lots of equipment? Lexus-rivaling interior? |
2008 Mercedes-Benz C-class
Mercedes-Benz started testing on the new W204 C-class in the summer of 2003, and for good reason. The outgoing C-class was never a real competitor to the BMW 3-series, being plagued with poor interior materials, overall small stature, and disappointing engines |
2007 Mini One and Cooper D
The rollout of a new generation of Minis continues at this year's Geneva Auto Salon with two new Euro-only models, the Mini One and Mini Cooper D. The former uses a teensy, 1.4-liter version of the same BMW-developed engine of the Cooper, complete with Valvet |
2008 Mitsubishi Lancer
Mitsubishi will continue a push for new, mass-market offerings in January at the Detroit show with this new Lancer Sedan. |
2007 Mitsubishi Outlander
I've had a recurring dream of a beastly, rally-bred SUV that devours Toyota RAV4s whole and burps up bits of Honda CR-Vs. But the sporty SUV of my dreams wouldn't cost $90,000 like the Porsche Cayenne Turbo; instead, it would be no more than a family sedan. Ca |
2009 Nissan Maxima
Most folks inside Nissan won't hesitate to admit that the Maxima has lost its way a bit. It's a car that once sat proud as a sporty alternative to the Camry or Accord, and for a while, Nissan even called it the Four-Door Sports Car (a "4DSC" sticker adorned on |
2008 Nissan Titan Long-Wheelbase
Nissan's truck line is under a lot of pressure this year, with appealing new pickups and SUVs coming from not only the American brands, but Toyota too. The Titan isn't ready for a full overhaul yet, but a few changes will be coming when the '08 Titan goes on s |
2007 Nissan Versa
After teasing us with several small-car concepts over the past two years, Nissan has finally introduced a sub-Sentra product. |
2008 Toyota Tundra
Louisville, Kentucky - The Tundra isn't just bigger than its wimpy predecessor, it begs for notice. There's enough chrome in its grille to deplete global reserves of that metal. Ripped flanks shroud eighteen- or twenty-inch wheels shod with rubber that's ten o |
2008 Volkswagen Jetta Clean Diesel
I'm just clearing customs on my way home from Europe when my cell phone rings. It's Keith Price, our favorite Volkswagen product rep, calling. He's on his way to Ann Arbor in a 2004 Jetta, and he wants me to drive it. A 2004 Jetta? Keith is obviously up to no |
2008 Volkswagen Tiguan
Volkswagen is has decided to show off its latest creation, the Tiguan, far ahead of its spring 2008 launch date. That's okay by us, since we've been looking forward to seeing it since we learned that there would be a production model based on the Concept A cou |
2008 Volkswagen Touareg
While it would appear that only three parts--two headlights and a grille--have been changed to freshen the Touareg for 2007, Volkswagen clams that they've added more than 2300 redesigned parts. It's what's inside that counts, right? After all, that's where the |
