the complications inherent in repairs and replacement of the hybrid + battery system is more expensive than a simple diesel engine, not to mention the hit to performance and overall weight. Yes, it's quieter, but that's about it.

There is a bit more, instant response and torque, simpler/no transmission, no vibrations, much less emissions and trips to the gas station.

With modern systems there is no such thing as a simple diesel engine like that of a '78 VW Rabbit anymore. We are all at the mercy of former script-kiddies and big-brother overlords somewhere in the cloud. ;)
