Talking about 2022 and diesel cars is starting to get complicated, even more so if we include a price margin. Despite this, we have managed to make a small list of 5 diesel cars for less than 30,000 euros that arrive in 2022 and are a great purchase.
Of course, it must be taken into account that diesel is increasingly disappearing from the ranges of brands, it is practically extinct from the B segment below and more and more compacts are also abandoning it. It will be increasingly difficult to find alternatives with this fuel.
Kia Sportsage
The new generation of the Kia Sportage presents a groundbreaking design that draws powerful attention, especially for its front end (it seems that it will be the general trend in the new Kia releases). In addition, among its wide and varied mechanical offer, diesel is not forgotten.
In fact, it is offered with an access version with the 115 hp 1.6 CRDi block and with a variant of the same that has 136 hp and also has microhybridization.
Both are within the budget, although the second is more interesting, since it enjoys the DGT ECO label.
Opel Astra Sports Tourer
We put the Sports Tourer because the new generation of the Opel Astra was announced a little earlier in its five-door version, to the point that it can be considered a 2021 model. Both share the same mechanical offer, which means that there is a gap (although be testimonial) for diesel engines.
Well, specifically for one, one with 130 hp associated with a manual transmission that is the most efficient version of the model among the non-electrified propellers: consumption of 4.3 l/100 km in the five-door version, slightly higher in the family . Of course, at the moment it is not available to buy, it will go on sale in the coming months.
Peugeot 308 SW
Little surprise here, since the Peugeot 308 is the first cousin of the Opel and, again, the choice of bodywork has more to do with the launch date than anything else. Choosing between French and German is a matter of taste, since they are mechanically identical.
The lion model mounts the 130 hp block and can be combined with a manual gearbox (from 27,420 euros and a consumption of 4.4 l/100 km) or an automatic (from 29,120 euros and 4.5 l/100 km).
ford focus
In the case of the Ford Focus we are not talking about a new generation, but about an update that, yes, has an important depth at the visual level, of equipment and of updating its mechanical offer through electrification.
Despite this, it maintains at least one diesel engine that is available from 25,536 euros (with discounts), the 1.5 EcoBlue with 120 hp and 300 Nm of maximum torque, which is associated with an eight-speed automatic gearbox.
Alfa Romeo Tonale
In this case we have played it, since at the moment the prices of the Alfa Romeo Tonale, which was presented a few weeks ago, are not known. However, the Italian SUV should place its lowest rates around 30,000 euros and, since its only diesel block is going to be access, it will be around the figure, a couple of thousand euros up or down.
With this margin, it is interesting to include it in the list, since it is a long-awaited car and, if we look at the other models, it is the only really new car on the list.
There will not be much variety to choose from, since only a diesel version will be sold, which will mount a 1.6 engine with 130 hp, which will be combined with a six-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox, as well as a traction system. lead.
