Which diesel compact SUVs do not have a DPF?

I am now 70 and looking to the future I am thinking of buying a compact SUV for easier access. Looking from these cars - Skoda Yeti, Kia Sportage, Hyundai ix35, Audi Q3 and Nissan Qashqai - do they have DPFs? If not do they have anything else I should be aware of?

All diesels have to have DPFs. Petrol models don't. So to avoid DPFs it has to be petrol: Honda HR-V 1.5 i-VTEC CVT-7, Mazda CX-3 2.0i Skyactiv, Suzuki Vitara 1.6 petrol, SsangYong Tivoli 1.6 petrol, Vauxhall Mokka 1.4T petrol, Audi Q3 1.4 TSI/1.8 TSI/2.0 TSI, Skoda Yeti 1.4 TSI 150 ACT (coming soon), Kia Sportage 1.6 GDI, Hyundai Tucson 1.6 GDI (replaced the ix35), Nissan Qashqai 1.2 TCe or 1.6 TCe.
