Corsa: 1.3 CDTI engine is available with Start / Stop. Astra 1.7 CDTI engines more efficient and a new 1.4 Turbo 120 hp engine. Meriva: three new diesel engines, including ecoFLEX. Insignia 2.0 CDTI now with Adaptive 4x4 and ecoFLEX variant.

Opel engineers do not sleep on the laurels of victory ever for the 2011 models have made significant improvements in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Technology was introduced start / stop, and now combines Insignia range diesel propulsion wheel drive system adapted to Opel.

Corsa: now with technology Start / Stop and more efficient engines top OPC

Technology Start / Stop is available for the Corsa 1.3 CDTI 55 kW/75 hp, also for the Corsa Van, a first in the segment vans. Instead of idling at a traffic light work or a rail crossing, the engine will stop automatically when the driver does step neutral and release clutch pedal. When the lights go green, drivers simply push the clutch pedal to restart the engine in first gear change and motion. Eliminating idling operation, the engine emits fewer greenhouse gases and generate less noise.

Peak range, atrăgătorul Corsa OPC, perform amazing feats with its turbo engine displacement of 1.6 liters and 141 kW/192 hp power, with an impressive reduction in fuel consumption of 0.6 l/100 km, equivalent to a 9.5 percent decrease in CO2 emissions. This super-efficient unit catapults Corsa OPC from zero to 100 km / h in just 7.2 seconds.

The latest Corsa range includes a series revived propulsion system fuel consumption and reduced CO2 emissions by 13 percent - and more power in most situations of use. In addition to engine efficiency, engineers Opel Corsa range and offered a complete redesign of the chassis, making changes to springs, dampers, anti-roll bars and rear axle designed to improve the ride comfort without compromising the agility and driving pleasure. A new calibration of electric power steering (EPS), an updated software and use a new material for steering also provides a better control and improved steering system reactions.

Meriva: wide range of diesel engines

The new champion of the flexibility of the Opel Meriva second generation model is now available with three new diesel engines, submitting a complete eight powerful propulsion systems. As a result, customers enjoy the best range of engines in this class, consisting of five diesel and three gasoline engines with power from 55 hp to 103 kW/140 hp kW/75.

The new 1.3 CDTI ecoFLEX variant combines higher power with 21 percent (70 kW/95 hp) low emission by 11.2 percent (119 g / km CO2) than its predecessor (55 kW/75 hp). Other news releases are the two most powerful engine available with manual transmission 1.7 CDTI 6-speed and developing power of 81 kW/110 hp and 96 kW/130 hp, with torque to 300 Nm and a combined average fuel consumption 5.2 liters per 100 kilometers.

Astra hatchback: a wider range of propulsion systems

Complementing the new Astra family, the station wagon version, the Astra Sports Tourer will be unveiled at the Mondial de l'Automobile in Paris (October 2 to 17). It will be launched on the market at the end.

As for the Astra hatchback, petrol engine range is expanded by the introduction of 88 kW/120 hp version of the engine cylinder 1.4 liter turbo with a manual transmission with six gears. It consumes only 5.9 liters per 100 kilometers (and has CO2 emissions of 138 g / km) and is offered in addition to 103 kW/140 hp version, which is now available with automatic transmission with six gears .

A finer adjustment made by Opel engineers specialized in propulsion systems and resulted in a reduction of four percent of the combined consumption and CO2 emissions for both versions of 81 kW/110 hp and 92 kW/125 hp for the 1.7 CDTI engine, those values reached 4.5 l/100 km and 119 g / km CO2.

Also, the Astra can now benefit first combination of adaptive mechatronics FlexRide suspension from Opel and lower sports chassis and more rigid.

Insignia Range: addition of economy, refinement and style

Insignia ecoFLEX models - including versions of sedans, hatchbacks and station wagon Sports Tourer - suffered a series of technical improvements have resulted in a reduction of five percent of consumption in combined cycle and CO2 emissions.
2.0 CDTI engine developing 96 kW/130 hp or 118 hp kw/160, the latest Opel Insignia ecoFLEX variants sedan now consumes just 4.9 liters of fuel per 100 km, with CO2 emissions of 129 g / km. For the Sports Tourer, the new values that are 5.1 liters and 134 g / km. In many European countries, these models allow individual customers and fleet owners to maximize profits tax on automobiles.

In addition, all diesel engines available for the Insignia have benefited from improvements and reduced mechanical noise produced by the combustion process, contributing to a greater refinement and lowering rolling vibration in the cabin. To encourage economic management, the indicator of change in a higher level of speed, located on the instrument panel is now standard in combination with all manual transmissions.

Strong demand for four-wheel drive system features adaptive Insignia Opel currently encouraged to combine the first four-wheel drive diesel propulsion. Intelligent system can be combined with the 2.0 CDTI engine 118 kW/160 hp, providing all the benefits Insignia drivers for stability, traction and maneuverability provided by Adaptive 4x4 and economic driving characteristics, typical for a diesel.

Opel Interior designers also maintain the image and Insignia contemporary trends. Inside Sport and Cosmo models is now available with leather upholstery, premium "Indian Summer", a warm color, like cognac. This is a strong fashion statement with a perception of quality highlighted by distinctive stitching on the seats, seat inserts, steering wheel and gear shift.

Versions 2.0 CDTI engine, which develops an output of 66 hp and 84 kW/114 hp kW/90 are now available with a diesel particulate filter (DPF). Low fuel consumption of the two 2.0 CDTI engines with DPF technology provides the potential for further savings in operating costs. Depending on the model and version, combined consumption of between 7.5 and 7.8 l/100 km. Combi ecoFLEX variant is equally strong with an optimized consumption of just 7.4 l/100 km.
