Opel Combo Life

Family friend and everyday hero Opel Combo Life is now even more versatile and attractive. All-purpose leisure activity vehicle is now available with a new top-of-the-line petrol engine combined with eight-speed automatic transmission and Start/Stop. The 96 kW (130 hp) 1.2 Direct Injection Turbo (NEDC ^[1] fuel consumption: urban 6.3-6.1 l/100km, extra-urban 5.1-4.9 l/100km, combined 5.6-5.3 l/100km, 127-121 g/km CO2) already meets the Euro 6d emission standard and joins the existing powertrain portfolio of petrol and diesel engines (NEDC ^[1] fuel consumption: urban 6.6-4.5 l/100km, extra-urban 5.1-4.0 l/100km, combined 5.7-4.2 l/100km, 130-110 g/km CO2). Prices for the Opel Combo Life with this engine in the Edition trim start at €27,200 (RRP incl. VAT in Germany).

In addition to the top-of-the-line petrol engine and the eight-speed automatic transmission, standard features such as the six-stage adjustable driver's seat with lumbar support and armrest, heated leather steering wheel with steering wheel remote control, power windows in front and air conditioning increase comfort. For top connectivity, the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatible multimedia radio with eight-inch colour touchscreen is on board.

Furthermore, state-of-the-art driver assistance systems make driving even more relaxed. Extensive standard equipment includes systems such as automatic cruise control and speed limiter, front collision warning with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian detection, hill-start assist, lane keep assist as well as traffic sign recognition and driver drowsiness alert.

230 Nm maximum torque, 186 km/h top speed – already Euro 6d compliant

1.2 Direct Injection Turbo - Euro 6d petrol engine with 96 kW (130hp) and 230 Nm maximum torque

With 96 kW (130 hp), the new 1.2 Direct Injection Turbo is the top-of-the-line power unit in the Opel Combo Life petrol engine portfolio. Lively three-cylinder engine already complies with the Euro 6d emission standard. It delivers 230 Nm of maximum torque at only 1,750 rpm and comes combined exclusively with the ultra-modern eight-speed automatic transmission. Together with the direct injection turbo engine, this not only enables particularly smooth gear changes, but also helps to further reduce fuel consumption and emissions. In order to reduce particulate emissions as much as possible, the engine features a close-coupled Gasoline Particulate Filter (GPF) for optimum regeneration (i.e. oxidisation of the particles that accumulate in the filter). In this engine-transmission combination, the Opel Combo Life reaches a maximum speed of 186 km/h and accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 12.3 seconds.

All-round winner: Current Opel Combo generation

But it is not only exemplary driving performance that makes the current Opel Combo generation so attractive. It was developed according to passenger car standards from the start – and not as a commercial vehicle to which features were added retrospectively to also appeal to families. Professionals and workers using the Combo Cargo panel van therefore benefit from the same safety, technology and comfort features as families and recreational athletes riding in the passenger car version. It is no surprise that the passenger car Opel Combo Life was voted "AUTOBEST Best Buy Car of Europe 2019" and the commercial vehicle variant Opel Combo Cargo "International Van of the Year 2019". They offer more car for the money, plus the highest level of safety and comfort in their respective segments. In addition, the Opel Combo offers drivers and passengers plenty of space and high flexibility – all with top comfort. Opel Combo Life is available with five or seven seats and in two lengths (4.40 m and 4.75 m as the XL model variant).

Shorter five-seat version already offers at least 597 litres ^[2] of boot space (long wheelbase: 850 litres ^[2]). The multifunctional everyday hero displays true transporter qualities with the rear seats folded down. Then luggage volume of the standard version more than triples to 2,1263 litres while the long version of the  Opel Combo Life can carry up to 2,6933 litres.

Opel Grandland X Debut for New 1.5 Litre Turbo Diesel Engine

• Powerful: New 1.5 Turbo diesel with 96 kW/130 hp
• Ahead of schedule: New 1.5 litre Turbo diesel already meets future Euro 6d-TEMP standard
• Optimum after-treatment: NOx adsorber plus Selective Catalytic Reduction
• Lower fuel consumption: Up to four percent more efficient than predecessor
• Eight-speed: Low friction automatic gearbox for extra comfort and fuel economy

Powerful combination: Opel Grandland X with new 1.5 litre diesel engine offers strong performance with high climate friendliness and environmental compatibility.

Opel Grandland X compact Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) is bringing a new advanced diesel engine to the brand’s powertrain portfolio. The new 1.5 litre, four cylinder, turbocharged diesel making its debut in the Opel Grandland X is more powerful and more economical than the engine it replaces. The new powertrain is designed to meet strict future emissions requirements thanks to an innovative oxidation catalyst/NOx adsorber coupled with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR).

Opel is bringing the new 96 kW/130 hp diesel to the market in the Grandland X with a six-speed manual transmission (fuel consumption^[1] urban 4.7-4.7 l/100 km, extra-urban 3.9-3.8 l/100 km, combined 4.2-4.1 l/100 km, 110-108 g/km CO₂). Maximum torque is 300 Nm at 1750 rpm. The new engine is equipped with fuel-saving Start/Stop.

In comparison to its predecessor, the 88 kW/120 hp 1.6 litre diesel with six-speed manual transmission (NEDC diesel consumption urban 4.9-4.7 l/100 km, extra-urban 3.9-3.5 l/100 km, combined 4.3-4.0 l/100 km, 111-104 g/km CO₂), the new 130 hp 1.5 litre engine in the Opel Grandland X delivers fuel economy improved by up to four percent. This has been achieved through the reduction in displacement and friction, the optimized combustion system with patented piston geometry and the increased exhaust gas recirculation (enabled by a high-efficiency heat exchanger).

Christian Müller, Managing Director Engineering Opel Automobile GmbH: “The high-tech design of the new 1.5 litre turbo diesel in the Opel Grandland X enables customers to combine the fun of a compact sports utility vehicle with the powerful performance, strong climate friendliness and high environmental compatibility of an advanced diesel engine.”

Clean, compact: Fully integrated after-treatment system with NOx adsorber and SCR

The cylinder head with integrated air intake manifold and the crankcase of the new 1.5 litre diesel are made of lightweight aluminium, while the four valves per cylinder are activated by dual overhead camshafts. The common rail direct injection system operates at up to 2,000 bar, with fuel entering the combustion chambers through eight-hole injector nozzles. The new engine is equipped with a turbocharger featuring variable geometry turbine vanes (VGT), which are activated electrically.

For optimum exhaust after-treatment, the emissions reduction system – consisting of a passive oxidation catalyst/NOx adsorber, AdBlue injector, SCR catalyst and Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) – is grouped together as a compact single unit, as near as possible to the engine. The NOx adsorber acts as a cold start catalyst, reducing NOx emissions at temperatures below the SCR light-off. With this innovative technology the new 1.5 litre diesel meets the strict Euro 6d-TEMP standard for NOx.

The future-oriented design of the new diesel reduces weight and offers significant potential for the future, with the compact dimensions allowing integration in cars of various sizes and in the most compact engine compartments. This give designers more freedom in terms of styling.

Eight-speed automatic for higher comfort and excellent fuel economy

The new engine is also available with an advanced new eight-speed automatic transmission that not only offers seamless shifting, but thanks to its low friction design also further reduces fuel consumption and emissions (fuel consumption^[2] urban 4.5-4.4 l/100 km, extra-urban 4.0-3.9 l/100 km, combined 4.2-4.1 l/100 km, 109-108 g/km CO₂).

With the new 1.5 litre power unit and the newly introduced 130 kW/177 hp 2.0 litre Turbo Diesel engine (fuel consumption^[3] urban 5.3-5.3 l/100 km, extra-urban 4.6-4.5 l/100 km, combined 4.9-4.8 l/100 km, 128-126 g/km CO₂) Opel  Grandland X customers can now choose from two powerful, yet very fuel efficient climate-friendly and pro-environmental diesels, which both comply with the strict Euro 6d-temp standard that will become mandatory for newly registered cars in September 2019. 

Therefore, they are not affected by potential urban diesel bans. By 2020, Opel will also offer the Grandland X as the brand’s first plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV).
