Just out of curiosity, in the UK the P250 is roughly GBP 1k more expensive than the D180

In the US, the D180 is about USD 6k more expensive than the P250.

Why is that? Any tax on diesel in the USA for the difference?

I've briefly looked around and this the D180 is also the entry price point in other right hand drive countries (Australia, etc) and the P250 is more expensive.

The only other country I found with Diesel more expensive than the Petrol was Brazil....

Confusing hence my curiosity! Surely one of the engines must be more expensive to produce than the other, but why such a crazy/all over the place pricing?? :?:

in france they are exactly at the same price !
you are right it is a bit strange tax are the same on both vehicules

 

[mavg1986]

really strange...are the american's paying more for the diesel or the british paying more for the petrol?

need more confusion?

In Germany the D180 and P250 have the exact same price. While options are more expensive.

It's clearly intentional to drive diesel sales in the UK (where we've had an historical love for them due to regulations - tide turning now) and free up inventory for the US where they always hated them.

I think is just low demand on Diesel models...rare to see them (in any car) here everything is Petrol or Electric these days
