Opel has announced
a new range-topping powertrain for the Combo Life people carrier. The MPV can
now be had with a 1.2-liter turbocharged three-cylinder gasoline engine that
makes 130 PS and 230 Nm of torque at 1,750 rpm.
The PSA-sourced
engine is linked exclusively to an eight-speed automatic transmission and
start/stop, with an NEDC-rated average fuel economy as low as 5.3 l/100 km
(53.3 mpg UK) and corresponding CO2 emissions of 121 g/km (for the SWB
five-seat model). The new power plant meets the Euro 6d emission standard,
thanks in part to the Gasoline Particulate Filter (GPF).
The Combo Life
powered by the 1.2-liter turbo engine accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 12.3 seconds and reaches a top speed of 186 km/h. Prices for
the Opel Combo Life equipped with this engine start at € 27,200 (US$ 30,300) for the base Edition trim level in Germany (including VAT).
In addition to the
new engine and automatic transmission, the Combo Life 1.2 Turbo gains new
standard features including a six-stage adjustable driver’s seat with lumbar
support and armrest, heated multifunction steering wheel wrapped in leather,
front power windows, and air conditioning.
An infotainment
system with an eight-speed color touchscreen and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
compatibility is also standard, as are several driver assistance systems. Those
include automatic cruise control and speed limiter, front collision warning
with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian detection, hill-start assist,
lane keep assist, traffic sign recognition, and driver drowsiness alert.
