Since '93, Diesel engines are only allowed in Brazil for vehicles with a payload of at least one metric ton, with the only exemptions granted to vehicles with either hi-lo 4WD or seats for at least 9 passengers (not considering the driver's seat). Actually there was a ban on new light-duty Diesels in Brazil in '76, but aftermarket conversions ((mostly for coupe-utilities and station wagons) were still not so unusual. Uruguay imposed this rule more recently, about 2 or 3 years ago.
