VW sold the Jetta hybrid with a 1.4 turbo in the US for a few years.
I think a naturally aspirated Diesel would be too slow for most people. Once the battery’s empty you’d be stuck with a very sluggish engine. BMW tried the tiny engined series hybrid with the I3 Rex and got a class action lawsuit because people didn’t want to be stuck doing 50mph on a hill after the battery ran out.
