4x4 Desiel Engine

Postby mobsaleh on Sat Nov 28, 2009 4:38 pm

Hi guys,
Does any of you know where I can find 4x4 cars that run on Desiel. I'm particularly interested in Prado 2007 or Pajero 2007? Any ideas about prices?
Thanks...

mobsaleh!
Welcome to the forums!

Well, the diesel story here is kinda complicated. Most manufacturers do not bring the diesel versions here as the diesel fuel sold here is not of the quality most modern diesel engines require (the sulfur content is too high).

The Prado did not come to the UAE in diesel earlier. However from this year 2010, I see that diesel has been included in the line of engines sold in UAE. The Land Cruiser has always had a diesel engine version available however.

I would think it is difficult to find a locally sold Prado 2007 diesel. You might have luck in the imported second hand market. Search on this website. If anyone has one, you will probably find it advertised here. But chances are low.

Both Prado and Pajero in Diesel are available for export from the respective dealerships. They had some old stock going for very (and I mean very) cheap 4 months ago. Try checking with them directly. Call and ask for export division.

AFAIK, it is export only, which is why it is so cheap.
And yes, they have both LHD & RHD cars.
