New ecoFLEX Zafira gets green light with new engine
Using a new-to-range 1.7-litre advanced diesel engine emitting combined emissions of just 139g/km, Opel's latest addition to the Zafira line-up has all the right credentials to become the first ecoFLEX model in the range.
This ultra-low emissions figure also means that it's one of the greenest and most fuel efficient seven-seat compact MPVs on the market.
The ecoFLEX also gains a significant improvement in fuel consumption compared with other models in the range. With a Combined figure of 4.4 liters/100 km (5 liters/100 km for the 1.9 CDTi), this Zafira now has a theoretical range of 1,094 kilometers, meaning fewer trips to the pumps and less damage to drivers' wallets.
But as with Opel's other ecoFLEX models, turning greener hasn't impacted on its performance. The 1.7 CDTi engine - which can also be found in the recent Astra ecoFLEX - produces 108 HP and 260Nm of torque, giving acceleration of 0-100 km/h in 12.6 seconds and a top speed of 180 km/h. A different final drive ratio also raises the gearing, improving both fuel economy and offering a more relaxed cruising gait.
As well as Opel's clever Flex7 seating, allowing the ecoFLEX to be transformed from a capacious load-lugger to seven-seat people carrier in a matter of seconds, six full-size airbags, an anti-lock braking system (ABS) and radio/CD player are standard on all of its five trim levels.
