But one well-established ultra-luxury automaker, Rolls-Royce, isn't likely to offer a diesel engine option any time soon, AutoCar learned from an unnamed source. The carmaker polled its customers for feedback regarding a diesel powerplant and received negative responses.
"They said absolutely not, don't bring diesel anywhere near a Rolls-Royce, we won't buy it," he said.
At the same time, the source, who is employed by Rolls-Royce, revealed there is also no interest by the company to follow in the footsteps of Aston Martin and Bentley in building an SUV bearing the Rolls-Royce brand.
"We don't chase volume, so we're not looking for a volume creator," the source added.
