News from GM Europe

The new edition Astra, with design and technological enhancements, is now available to order with two state-of-the-art 1.7-liter diesel engines. These highly efficient units, which both come coupled with six-speed transmissions as standard, already meet the design-engineering requirements for future emission standards – a characteristic shared by all Astra CDTI engines with maintenance-free diesel particulate filters. The 1.7-liter CDTI ECOTEC unit with 81 kW/110 hp produces 140 g of CO2 per kilometer, and the 92 kW/125 hp version 146 g/km.
Customers profit from low running costs also as a result of the low average consumption of just 5.2/5.4 liters per 100 kilometers (five-door variant). The two 1.7-liter CDTI ECOTEC units combine their high power output per liter with a maximum torque of 260 Nm and 280 Nm at 2300 rpm respectively. The Astra GTC 1.7 CDTI models have a top speed of 187 and 197 km/h respectively, and their zero to 100 km/h acceleration times of 11.6 and 10.4 seconds show just how much dynamic potential the new engines possess.

The range of six ultra-modern turbo diesel engines for the new Astra, from the 1.3 CDTI with 66 kW/90 hp to the 1.9 CDTI with 110 kW/150 hp, is now wider than ever and unique in this class.
