Diesel engines are made to different specifications, and the components have to be built stronger to handle the higher compression. Plus, many auto manufacturers buy their diesel engines from a diesel engine manufacturer instead of building them in house.

Diesel engine needs to be more robust and strong compared with the same power petrol engine.
Thats why Diesel models are expensive.

Because they have higher resale value and the materials needed for a diesel engine should be more tougher than a petrol version.

Diesel engines are more expensive because the engine itself and the drivetrain associated with it has to be strong enough to handle the torque that it puts out.

Diesel engines are expensive to produce as they run on high compression and finely tuned fuel injection. You save money over gasoline in the long run.

Because the will last twice as long as a gas engine if you treat them right.
