I went tru Kia Canadian and US site and they do not carry the Diesel options due to high emission controls. The only diesel that passed the test is Merc E320 Blu Tec which has got a smog particle filter. The redline on my CRDI is 4500rpm where as its 6000 or 6500 rpm on your 2.4l petrol. The gear ratio is different since diesel has about 50% more torque. For a full tank the range on mine is 650KM and cost US$11 for 55ltrs.
