I'm not in the market for a new car, but I'm curious...

Are there any compact SUVs (like Honda CRV/Toyota Rav 4 sized) in the US that are diesel and with a manual transmission? What about those with AWD?

Not hard to find in Europe, but sounds like hen's teeth in the US.

Is there anything? I didn't see a VW offering, from what I could tell from their absurd website (well, all auto makers have unnavigable crap websites these days, so), and I figured they'd have one.

After the whole diesel emissions fiasco, VW announced they would no longer market diesel vehicles in the United States. However, it seems that they have plans to reverse that decision in the near future.

The manual transmission may wind up being the interesting part - they seem to be hen's teeth in the mid-size SUVs.

The buyers sold back 2015 VW Diesel powered vehicles are now being sold again by VW. There were 6 sp manual transmission Jetta TDI station wagons.

OP might want to look for one.

Diesel Wranglers are coming in 2019, though from Italian manufacturer V.M. Motori, and no news whether it will be mated to a manual as an option, but hard to believe it won't be.

Everything I've read has said it will be paired with auto transmissions only.




Knowing what one is talking about is widely admired but not strictly required here.

Not sure how old you are looking to go or how hard they will be to find anymore.
But the Jeep Liberty came with both for a short while.

I think the soon to be released diesel CX5 may be one of the few available, but will be automatic only, to my knowledge.

Probably a good bit cheaper than a diesel Wrangler as well, I'd imagine.

The GMC Terrain/Chevy Equinox twins can be had with diesel and AWD but not with a manual.
