Just like everybody else, Honda has been making diesel cars for many years across the world, but nobody in the U.S. wants to buy them. That is why Honda will not be selling any automobiles in the United States still, according to AutoGuide.
Mileage is better with diesel
People remember Honda as a fuel efficient and dependable business. Honda diesels are even more fuel efficient than the fuel engines.
According to Honda United Kingdom, the base Civic with a 1.6-liter iDTEC motor, gets a combined 3.6 liters per kilometer, or about 65 miles per gallon.

Car and Driver reviewed the Euro-spec Honda Accord in 2008 with the 2.2-liter iDTEC motor. The car only got 32 mpg overall. The same engine was also tested in a 2009 Euro-spec Honda CR-V and showed 28 mpg, though that is still higher than the 22 mpg found in a gas CR-V. Supposedly the engine can get 56 mpg though.
No economic case right now
On the subject of diesel, more engineering is needed over a fuel motor. It also demands more emission regulating equipment that is sturdier because internal glowplugs are used rather than bolted-on spark plugs. It costs a lot more to make them, so it is not worth Honda making the cars financially.
You cannot find a diesel Civic or According at the auto lenders of New Jersey or anywhere else anytime soon. Honda also recognizes that nobody buys diesels. There are more people getting them than before, but 30,000 to 50,000 sales would be necessary for Honda to even consider bringing them over, according to AutoGuide. They also do not want to charge a huge premium for diesel.
