Every Mercedes diesel passenger car for at least the last 10 has had ABS, not to mention ESP. All current VW passenger diesels have ABS. The Holden Astra diesel has ABS. Heck the current Land Cruiser wagons have ABS in the diesel.

These 70 series are built and marketed for off road or gravel road driving. For gravel roads you don't want ABS. You will actually stop faster if you can lock up the wheels and dig yourself in a little. ABS won't allow you to dig in at all.
