So as topic states, what are my options? Prices too please. Diesel is the logic way to go as petrol is expansive. I don't mind 4x4, Murano style or a non-permanent 4x4 drive.

what is your budget?

a diesel SUV prices vary a lot

from the humble-priced pickups (80+k) to the highest end of what BMW X5d has to offer (600+k)

if u plan to do on the road only, get a 2x4

there are some full-time 4WD which will have higher fuel consumption (such as the land cruiser dubbed as ninja king)

there are also diesel sedans from international car makers. just your budget oni

those SUVs usually got a big capacity, like 3 litre, which chug down lots of fuel to begin with.
if you're a lone driver getting a big ass car isn't really economical. and road tax is like ouch.
unless you got a restaurant with deep fry cooker with lots of excess used vegetable oil. that way you got yourself free fuel supply.
google for biogas.

But the roadtax for a diesel is a killer.
I too agree that a diesel saves more. How bout a D-Max? The factory claims that you can go around 1000km in a single tank of fuel(I dunno if its for the 2.5 or 3.0, Manual or Auto. I'm guessing 3.0/2.5 with manual).
Price is at Isuzu.net.my website.

those mercedes diesel also got....c class or s class

anyway are the consumption equal to those who use petrol or lesser??

if only volkswagen golf tdi is sold in malaysia, everybody will buy one considering the petrol price now. but, this will not become a reality or else proton will die a horrible death.

like the bmw 7 series diesel ... but dunno launched here or not

I have seen 5 series diesel on the road before, suitable?

ok, upper limit 200K.
No D-max or that type of vehicle, or outlander, most of the time for commuting between office-home.
So what are my options again?

toyota fortuner 2.5 diesel
if still want car den 2nd hand e200 diesel.... my cousin driving wan... he tried Rm10 diesel can go aorund 60 - 70km....

with that much budget, i'd certainly want to drive a beemer (although it's nearer to 300k)

200k gives you a very very wide range of SUVs (save for some like the uber expensive range rover) - nissan murano will be in my top choice

for sedan, we dun have much choice of diesel powered sedan (unlike in european countries where more and more ppl are driving the more environment-friendly diesel sedans)

ALL diesels give good mileage. Just be prepared for the frequent fuel filter changes.

i dunno if its still around but the rover 75 diesel is not bad

there`s always the prton wira 2.0 diesel .lol

some say the german diesel engines are not quite ready for malaysian diesel yet
the filter always get clogged, prolly all the substances in the cheap diesel

must change filter all the time?

In motortrader I found this under diesel
http://www.motortrader.com.my/asp/search/s...t=Search&page=2

max 200K< but its more like 150K. Aside from SUV's really no choice then?

You forgot to mention BMW . I just added BMW above the diesel that you put in. I was expecting something like an X5 but instead something else came out and maybe the TS would prefer that.

EDIT:At motortrader,type in BMW, then 325TDI. I dunno why the link doesnt work.

BMW for ~RM150K?

the beemer's 325Tdi cost nearly 300k (IIRC)

this is an outrage since this car is dirt cheap in europe

there's also the 5series and 7series diesel version

the engine developed by BMW is soo technologically advanced that in almost every way, it's better than it's petrol cousin. even in term of eco-friendliness

In Malaysia:
(Used models)
1) Fiat Marea Weekend 1.9TD100/1.9JTD105
2) Citroen Zantia Wagon 1.9 TD
3) Citroen ZX Diesel 1.9D
4) Nissan Serena (1st model)
5) Wira 2.0 Diesel
6) Fiat Multipla 1.9JTD
7) Fiat Doblo 1.9JTD
8) Toyota Unser Diesel

plus those new ones posted here

triton??? can get from me,
superb comfort for a pickup but while u inside it dun felt like a pickup, more feel of suv, good price n good look

i sell mitsubishi

How bout a SsangYong Kryon?

the TS wanted a sedan, not a 4x4 or a pickup truck monster

i guess the only option is to head down to NAZA showroom and make a "deal" with them to import one of them diesel beemers into malaysia.

true true, no other way.

Got rumour tat Renault will bring a diesel Kangoo later tis yr....

BMW 325TDI for RM 4XK

Ah yes yes, that's the car.
I think TS already bought a diesel now. If not then he should consider that.

BMW 3 series n 5 series... dun kno la price...

maybe I should import one from those UK students...

if you have normal budget thenmaybe you can consider renault kangoo 1.5 Tdi... commercial diesel kangoos are readily avialble, private registration will be here sometime early next year

But the design sucks very badly right?

No offence to Ssangyong or Deja Vu or any Kryon users

no SUV's no pick up trucks, strick to sedans. Station wagons maybe
