The 2010 Opel Zaire has enough to attract buyers for multiple reasons. The 77 KW/105 hp 1.6-litre engine consumes around 7.0 liters of fuel per 100 km of distance traveled. The four-cylinder unit with four valves is also available as an option. The specifications of the 1.7 CDTI engine are 81 KW/110 hp and 92 KW/125 hp respectively, and the 1.7 CDTI engine was used in the 2008 models. Both come with a six-speed manual transmission, common rail injection with four-valve technology, turbulence and maintenance controls, and free special diesel filter.
The 1.7 CDTI engine is replaced by the 74 KW/100 hp 1.9 CDTI as well as the 88 KW/120 hp 1.9-litre diesel engines in the 2010 Zaire. The 1.7 CDTI units deliver more power with more torque of 20 Nm and 40 Nm respectively, while reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
Both diesel engines produce just 152g of CO2 and consume 5.7 liters of fuel per 100km of distance. The new Zaire has some technical highlights, including the optional screen chassis system with CDC (Continuous Damping Control) electronic damping control. It provides an exclusive dimension of driving comfort, as well as increased safety. Control units as well as Spouse, ABS and CDC sensors can constantly exchange data, resulting in instant chassis optimization and fine tuning of its integrated control system. The AFL bi-xenon headlamp system and adaptive front lighting with dynamic cornering lights fit perfectly into the compact van segment.
