Opel Astra ecoFLEX
Opel has launched a new eco-friendly compact Astra with lower CO2 emissions and reduced fuel consumption. The eco Astra in range which is available as a 5-door, 3-door and station wagon, comes equipped with a tweaked 1.7-liter turbo diesel engine producing CO2 emissions of 119g/km and fuel consumption of just 4.5lt /100 km or 52.3mpg US / 62.8mpg UK on the combined cycle.
The 1.7 CDTI common-rail diesel engine, which will be completed with a 6-speed manual gearbox, has a maximum output of 110 HP, torque of 260 Nm at 2,000 rpm and a top speed of 188 km/h.
The Opel’s Astra ecoFLEX’s curb weight has been reduced by 30kg or 66lbs, while aerodynamics have been improved by lowering the suspension, modifying the front air intakes and fitting a drag-reducing lower engine compartment panel. Engineers also reduced the power steering pump’s idle speed and fitted low rolling-resistance 15-inch tires (16-inch optional).
