Yaris WRC - Toyota Yaris Forums

By diesel I mean sub 2.5l passenger car engines for Europe, where the diesel prices are more favorable than here. Trucks are a different conversation, since the US is a bit unique in that aspect.

I believe currently Toyota uses BMW and AVM for their current engines, but are going to be switching to Mazda pretty soon at least for the sub 2l category. It completely makes sense to me as to why Toyota doesn't develop diesel engines, since only 1 market uses them and they can get a much better return on their investment by using hybrid drivetrains.

But I your likely correct, DI and valvematic engines will probably start popping up soon along with newer hybrid engines for the more popular vehicles.
