| Opel 1.6 CDTI turbo diesel |
The new generation all-aluminum four-cylinder 1.6-liter diesel engine is the star in the compact class. Hailed by the trade press as the ‘whisper diesel’, it made its debut in the Zafira Tourer in late 2013 with an output of 100 kW/136 hp. An 88 kW/120 hp version followed quickly. The 1.6 CDTI is now also available for the Meriva (with 70 kW/95 hp, 81 kW/110 hp and 100 kW/136 hp), the Astra (81 kW/110 hp und 100 kW/136 hp), and the sporty Astra GTC (100 kW/136 hp). The new 1.6-liter turbo diesel is rated as the quietest and most efficient in its class.
This engine is now also available for the Opel Mokka and impresses with its outstanding refinement, low consumption (a mere 4.1 liters of diesel per 100 kilometers over the combined cycle, this is equivalent to 109 g/km CO2) and its feistiness. The Mokka 1.6 CDTI accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 9.9 seconds, and makes the transition from 80 to 120 km/h in fifth gear in just 9.9 seconds.
