Top 20 Diesel Cars

For lovers of speed and power, this is an ideal option, even despite the presence of a diesel engine, which, as a rule, does not differ in mobile characteristics. A two-liter engine with a capacity of 140 horsepower is installed here, which allows a rather large and heavy car to accelerate very quickly and maintain speed even on steep climbs.

Also, do not forget that we have a Ford in front of us, and the car of this brand is distinguished by excellent handling and high safety performance. According to some authoritative publications, this is one of the safest cars. It is equipped with 8 airbags and a huge number of protective systems such as ABS and ERA. The above price is not for a new car, but for one released in 2013, but in better quality and without any complaints about the engine and condition in general. Of course, you can always save up and buy a new version, but unfortunately, there are no new products in this Ford line yet, and the company does not make announcements, although, as practice shows, such cars serve for a very long time, and 2013 is still considered quite a fresh model.

Another car produced specifically for Russia.The Czech brand, which has been closely cooperating with local concerns for a long time, pleases us with inexpensive and high-quality cars with the maximum range of options. In this case, it is worth noting that the price is indicated as an average value for a car manufactured in 2014. New models, unfortunately, are not yet announced by Skoda. But here is everything you need. What is called, "full minced meat."

Firstly, there is a 105 horsepower diesel engine with a volume of 1.6 liters on board. This allows the car to maintain excellent mobility characteristics without loss of speed and power. Secondly, there are all the options included in the maximum configuration. Even parking sensors and fog lights are installed, along with seat heating, which, as a rule, is not included in the basic and initial equipment. There is no need to talk about economy at all. With such technical indicators, and given that the car is diesel, it is easy to guess that it is very economical, and consumes less than 5 liters of fuel per hundred kilometers traveled.

The French Citroen is rightfully considered one of the most popular cars produced specifically for Russia, taking into account all the requirements of local car owners. The price indicated in this description is an average value, and if desired, this car can be taken cheaper, even with a diesel engine. The basic version will not have additional options, but the cost will decrease by almost 200 thousand.

The second modification already includes everything you need, including electric mirror controls and the maximum set of security systems. Only fog lights and heated seats are not included. You will have to pay for them separately.As for the technical characteristics, here, first of all, the installed diesel engine stands out for its efficiency. Its consumption is only 4.8 liters of fuel per hundred kilometers, which is quite pleasant for such a not the smallest car. In addition, the motor has a capacity of 114 horsepower, which will significantly save taxes for the owner, while not affecting speed performance.

The best budget sedan with a diesel engine is the Peugeot 408 passenger car. In the Active Diesel configuration, it is equipped with a 114 hp diesel engine. With. (1.6 l). In the combined cycle, the engine consumes only 4.9 liters of diesel fuel. The family sedan has a stylish design and a high degree of safety.

The base has airbags for both the driver and the front passenger, as well as an electronic brake force distribution system.A spacious trunk (560 l) will allow you to load things of all family members.

Users of the Peugeot 408 note such advantages of a passenger car as an affordable price, a spacious interior, a roomy trunk, and economical fuel consumption. Of the minuses, consumers note frequent minor breakdowns of the car, a large turning angle, expensive maintenance, and ineffective sound insulation.

At the best price, you can buy an all-wheel drive compact crossover Renault Duster in the Expression 1.5 diesel configuration. In the basic equipment, the consumer will receive a number of useful options, for example, central locking with remote control, ABS, audio system, front power windows. As for the appearance, the Expression features body-colored bumpers, a chrome grille, black mirrors, handles and roof rails. In this configuration, no manufacturer sells all-wheel drive crossovers at such a low price. The car is characterized by economical fuel consumption, on average, the engine consumes 5 liters of diesel fuel per 100 km.

Domestic owners distinguish several positive qualities in Renault Duster. This is a low price, good cross-country ability, economical fuel consumption. During operation, such shortcomings as high opacity during heating and motor vibration are detected.

When it comes to the best quality of a car, Honda is the first thing that comes to mind for many owners. This Japanese giant truly performed a miracle by releasing an indestructible engine that can work many thousands of kilometers without failure. It is for this that Honda is praised, not only for this model, but for the entire brand line. Does this car have any flaws? Probably only one - the high cost of original spare parts. Yes, car repairs are rarely needed, but as soon as it appears, get ready for significant expenses. Although there are a lot of excellent quality analogues on the modern market, you just need to know how to choose them.

As for the technical aspects of this particular model, we have before us a Civic, produced in several versions. It can be either a passenger sedan or a full-fledged hatchback, with three or five doors. There is also a completely sporty model, equipped with a two-liter engine, in contrast to the 1.6-liter engine in sedans. The output power even on a one and a half liter engine is 140 horsepower, and this is a lot, which means that the car accelerates quickly and keeps speed perfectly on climbs and when overcoming obstacles.

It is believed that diesel cars, even passenger cars, cannot claim sports performance. In part, this is true, since a diesel engine, having high power with relatively small dimensions, does not differ in fast acceleration and high speeds. But these are all prejudices of the past.Modern diesel cars can compete with their gasoline comrades, and this product of the German concern is a direct proof of this.

On board this compact car, equipped with only two doors, a two-liter diesel engine is installed, delivering 130 horsepower. Compared to other engines and characteristics, this motor may seem very modest, but such an engine is able to very quickly accelerate the car to hundreds of kilometers, and easily overcome the steepest climbs without losing speed and power. To put it simply, if you love the feeling of unparalleled power under you, but are not ready to buy an expensive sports car, be sure to pay attention to this model, which in 2019 should undergo a rebirth.

The most affordable D-class car is the Opel Insignia. The machine is equipped with a 160 hp diesel engine. With. (2.0 l). Working together with a mechanical transmission, the power unit is able to accelerate the car to 220 km / h. At the same time, the consumption of diesel fuel will pleasantly amaze the car owner. In the combined cycle, the engine consumes only 4.3 liters of fuel. Pleases motorists and rich equipment even in the database. The car belongs to the business class, so the interior is spacious and comfortable. Insignia has a spectacular appearance, the car is suitable for both personal use and as a company vehicle. A distinctive feature of the model is the reliability and variety of modifications.

Domestic owners distinguish such Opel Insignia properties as accessibility, reliability, comfort, and solid design.Among the shortcomings, there is ineffective sound insulation, a harsh suspension, and low ground clearance.

One of the main advantages of the Skoda Octavia diesel car is dynamics. A two-liter engine in combination with a robotic 6-speed automatic can accelerate the car to the cherished hundred in 8.3 seconds. The powerful power unit (150 hp) at the same time consumes only 5.1 liters of diesel fuel when driving in mixed mode. Octavia also boasts a spacious and thoughtful interior, which is comfortable for both the driver and passengers. The package of options also looks quite impressive, among which is air conditioning, power windows front and rear, an audio system with 8 speakers, and an on-board computer.

Motorists speak flatteringly about such qualities of the Skoda Octavia as a torquey engine, excellent dynamics, efficiency, affordable price, comfortable interior, good workmanship. During operation, such disadvantages as expensive maintenance, low ground clearance, and weak light were revealed.

Each car owner himself prioritizes when choosing and buying a car, but considering a passenger car, it cannot be denied that one of its main qualities should be safety. All manufacturers pay attention to this aspect, but the final assessment is made by independent experts who conducted tests back in 2012, when this diesel model appeared on the market. According to their results, the Korean received the highest marks and was recognized as the best this year.In total, more than 50 tests were carried out, and as a result, the car scored more than 90 percent of positive ratings, which is a very good result.

As for the technical aspects, a 1.6-liter diesel engine with an output of 128 horsepower is installed here. This is quite a lot compared to the motors in other cars and allows this model to pick up speed very quickly. Also, the tests showed a high result of controllability. According to experts, the car holds the road perfectly and unquestioningly obeys the driver.

If a passenger car is a milestone for you, and you are not ready to overpay for a powerful SUV, we advise you to pay attention to this model from a Chinese brand that systematically captures the world market and produces, in particular, cars for Russia. This is exactly the car for Russia, and it costs quite democratically, especially if you take into account all the technical characteristics. A two-liter turbodiesel is installed on board, delivering power of 140 horses. For a crossover, this is the norm, but if we consider the dimensions of the model, then it can be safely classified as an SUV.

Of course, this is a SUV, and we are not talking about any off-road here. Much more important is inner comfort, and that's all right here. The machine is equipped with the best options in the largest number. There is everything from heated seats to rain and fog sensors.There is also a luxury version, which differs in interior and arrangement, but costs a couple of hundred thousand more. It practically does not differ in an optional set, but it looks much richer and more presentable inside.

Before us is a transitional model, about the involvement of which in a certain type, experts and owners are still arguing. On the one hand, this is a passenger car, as it has a 1.6-liter diesel engine with a capacity of 120 horsepower. For a passenger car, this is the norm, but the manufacturer himself positions the model as a crossover, which is clearly indicated by the dimensions and clearance, the size of which is 160 millimeters. This is not enough for a crossover, but a lot for a passenger car. It turns out that we have a hybrid in front of us, and therefore we should not place high hopes on it.

In fact, if you do not plan to overcome severe off-road conditions on this machine, or climb a steep mountain, there will be no problems. And the salon here is very roomy, and can easily accommodate five adults. The trunk is spacious, and there are a lot of other options that increase the level of comfort. At the same time, the engine for such a rather big crossover is rather weak. This will save on taxes, but it is unlikely that you will be able to quickly disperse the car and maintain speed in extreme conditions.

The return to the domestic market of the Hyundai Tucson crossover was spectacular with a rich set of options in the database. The 2.0 liter diesel engine with a capacity of 185 hp looks especially solid. With.It is complemented by a six-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. This combination makes the ride dynamic and smooth. In mixed mode, the engine consumes 6.5 liters of diesel fuel. The car is offered in two modifications Comfort and Travel. For Travel, you will have to pay a little more money (1,993,000 rubles), but the interior will be trimmed with leather, the rear seats are heated, and LEDs appear in the optics. The car looks impressive, especially the concept of "Flowing Lines 2.0".

Hyundai Tucson owners are satisfied with the crossover's rich equipment, stylish appearance, reliability and versatility. Of the minuses of the car, the lack of soundproofing of the wheel arches, rattling in the steering mechanism are mentioned.

The Nissan Qashqai crossover optimally combines affordable price and good quality. The machine is equipped with a small 1.6 liter diesel engine (130 hp), which works with a variator. The diesel modification is offered only with front-wheel drive, so off-road driving is not a strength of the crossover. But the model is well equipped, there is a steering wheel adjustment, heated seats, full power accessories, as well as many different electronic assistants. Very high quality materials are used for interior decoration. The 6-speaker audio system produces clear and powerful sound. In motion, the car is clear and pleasant, the steering mechanism works clearly, the suspension smooths out all the bumps on the road.

The strengths of the Nissan Qashqai owners call availability, good quality, high seating position, comfortable ride.Users are dissatisfied with squeaks in the cabin, low CVT resource and expensive maintenance.

Japanese automakers are distinguished by the high quality of their products, and Honda is one of the leaders in both the domestic and global markets. Before us is a crossover produced since 2006, but still has not lost popularity. The main advantage here is the reliability of the engine, a diesel engine installed in two variations. There is a two-liter engine and a more powerful analogue of 2.4 liters. The engines are very powerful and, according to experts, are practically immortal, which cannot be said about the gearbox. No, it is not bad, but after 200 thousand mileage, failures of some nodes are often observed. This is if we are talking about an automatic, but there are models with a manual gearbox, and there are no such problems.

Well, like all Japanese cars, the main problem is the purchase of original spare parts. There are many on the market, but they are very expensive. Fortunately, finding worthy analogues is not difficult, but it is important to buy a good replica, and not a low-quality fake. In any case, this crossover is suitable for those who value reliability and are not ready to repair their car twice a year, constantly changing parts.

Before us is the best combination of crossover design, and the cross-country ability of a real SUV. Chinese engineers have once again succeeded in the impossible. The car looks very attractive, and many often refer to it as an executive class. But looking at the characteristics, you understand that this is a real SUV that can cope with the most difficult obstacles.

Let's start with the engine. Here it is a diesel unit with a volume of 2.4 liters and a capacity of 170 horses. With such indicators, all-wheel drive is needed, and here it is, but not permanent, as is often the case with Chinese manufacturers, but plug-in. A low gear unit is installed on board, which also indicates the characteristics of the car's cross-country ability. Well, of course, the clearance, which is almost 20 centimeters. A very impressive result, especially for a crossover, and the manufacturer refers this model to this category, although experts continue to consider it a frame SUV.

Looking for the best crossover at the most attractive price? Then be sure to pay attention to this model from the eminent Korean brand. There are several modifications of this car, but we will talk about the most powerful model, which is equipped with a 2.4-liter diesel engine and delivers 170 horsepower. A very high result, worthy of even a mid-size SUV, but we have a crossover in front of us, which means that it is able not only to develop decent speed, but also to cope well with off-road and other difficulties.

Models of the junior category, equipped with weaker engines for 140 horses, have exclusively rear-wheel drive, but here we see permanent, all-wheel drive, with no way to turn it off. On the one hand, this is a disadvantage, since the already considerable fuel consumption increases significantly. On the other hand, you will not experience problems with movement both in the city and on dirt roads.

This model is classified as an SUV, but in fairness it should be noted that this is more of a mid-size crossover, and it will not be able to boast of cross-country characteristics. On board this model, a 2.5-liter diesel engine is installed, delivering power over 150 horsepower. For a crossover, this is already too much, but for an SUV it is clearly not enough. But the ground clearance, which here is 180 millimeters, will please.

But, the main advantage of this model, like all Japanese-made products, is reliability and durability. According to experts, the car is practically indestructible, and is able to work for many years without repairs, provided that you do not forget about replacing consumables. But if something is out of order, get ready for significant costs. Parts for this car are very expensive, at least original ones. Here, the truth should be understood that there are many high-quality analogues on the market, and if you know how to choose them, there will be no problems with repairing or replacing parts.

SUVs Mitsubishi Pajero have a glorious history, cars were repeated winners of the famous Dakar rally.The Mitsubishi Pajero Sport model with a 2.4 DI-D Invite diesel engine continues the glorious traditions of its predecessors. The maximum reliability of the jeep is provided by a 6-speed manual. The SUV has good acceleration dynamics (11.4 s to 100 km / h), but the main engine parameter is 181 hp. With. The motor is not too voracious, in mixed mode its appetite is limited to 7.4 liters per 100 kilometers. The classic node of a real frame SUV is a two-speed transfer case with the possibility of forced locking of the rear differential.

The indisputable advantages of the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport SUV include excellent cross-country ability, spaciousness, comfort, and economical consumption. The disadvantages of the jeep are rigidity, engine noise, poor paintwork.
