Every New 2021 Diesel for Sale in the U.S. Today

The core advantage of diesel engines is that they're compression ignition engines and rely on the mechanical squeeze to light each cylinder's air and fuel. It's a more efficient way to convert fuel into mechanical work. Alas, compression ignition is louder than spark-ignited gas engines. And diesel soot is wickedly difficult to economically control. Just ask Volkswagen, which in 2014 was caught cheating up their TDI range of engines to get past emissions regulations. Jobs were lost. Some people went to prison.

The VW diesel scandal almost overnight killed the diesel-car market. But then those vehicles known as "trucks" are a different story.

Yeah, diesel was always a marginal player in the United States car market. But the nerdy and thrifty among us still crave diesels. Click like a maniac here through this full list of every diesel-powered vehicle on sale in the U.S. Or click like a calm, reasonable person. Just click.
