2016 Opel Astra 1.4 Turbo ECOTEC Direct Injection Engine Test Drive HD

The Astra powertrain line-up also plays a big role in this enhanced driving experience: each new Astra features a member of the completely new engine portfolio with outputs ranging from 70 kW/95 hp to 147 kW/200 hp. The gasoline and diesel engines with a displacement up to 1.6 liters all combine highest efficiency with excellent responsiveness, running smoothness and low noise generation. The all-new 1.4 ECOTEC Direct Injection Turbo engine makes its premiere in the Astra. The four-cylinder unit with weight-saving all-aluminum design delivers 92 kW/125 hp or 110 kW/150 hp and up to 245 Nm maximum torque. Depending on the output version, consumption in the combined cycle decreases down to 4.9 liters per 100 kilometers (114 g/km CO2). The three-cylinder 1.0 ECOTEC Direct Injection Turbo engine with 77 kW/105 hp is the most frugal engine in the gasoline line-up, with consumptions that can be as low as 4.2 liters per 100 km (96 g/km CO2). And all versions of the 1.6 CDTI ‘whisper diesel’ with 70 kW/95 hp, 81 kW/110 hp and 100 kW/136 hp and a manual 6-speed transmission have CO2 emissions below 100 g/km – with the best currently at 3.4 liters per 100 kilometers and 90 grams of CO2 per kilometer.

The styling of the new Astra also radiates pure efficiency. The evolution of the Opel design philosophy ‘Sculptural Artistry meets German Precision’ ensures that the new Astra conveys a lighter, more athletic appearance. In front the newly designed double grill bar and radiator grill flow seamlessly into the sharply defined matrix headlights. The most significant design cue is the ‘breakthrough’ C-pillar, which creates the impression of a floating roof. With a total length of 4.37 meters, the newcomer is almost 5.0 centimeters shorter than the outgoing model while its height has been reduced by 2.5 centimeters to 1.48 meters. With this leaner, streamlined body, the standard version of the new Astra currently already boasts an outstanding drag coefficient of 0.285.
