The new Opel Combo offers a diverse spectrum of powertrains, including four diesel engines, one gasoline unit and a CNG version (Compressed Natural Gas) which operates as a dual fuel unit with gasoline. All engines are available with the ecoFLEX technology complete with Start/Stop technology. The basic diesel 1.3 CDTI model as well as the Combo CNG version also carry the ecoFLEX label due to their low emissions.
The diesel engines of the new Opel Combo possess the latest Common-Rail technology, an oxidation catalyst, and a diesel particulate filter. The 1.3 CDTI 66kW/90 hp ecoFLEX, is capable of fuel consumption and CO2 emissions of between 4.8 and 4.9 liters per 100 kilometers, or between 126g/km and 129g/km respectively, depending on the body version, trim and roof height.
Only for the high spec Combo “Tour” passenger variant an equally powerful CDTI variant with 1.6 liters is offered. It comes with a manual six speed transmission and is optionally available with the five-speed easytronic transmission. The next level on the performance scale is the 1.6 CDTI with 77kW/105 hp, while the 2.0 CDTI engine with 99kW/135 hp sits at the top of the diesel powertrain spectrum of the Combo. It is equipped with a six gear manual transmission and delivers torque of 320 Nm.
Those who favor alternative propulsion can opt for the 1.4 CNG ecoFLEX engine (88 kW/120 hp). The engine, which is geared towards dual fuel usage of gasoline and natural gas, is particularly suited to the environment and efficiency. In the case of the 1.4 CNG ecoFLEX version, the Opel Combo holds a 22 liter gasoline tank and CNG cylinders with a total volume of 95 liters or 130 liters (only available in long wheelbase). This results in maximum ranges of up to 625 and 750 kilometers respectively.

The Bi-link rear wheel suspension helps to improve the handling of the vehicle and ensure a smooth ride.
The compact and kinematic dimensions of the rear axle link enable a full loading width of 1.23 meters between the wheel arches which enables the transportation of Euro pallets.
Additionally the rear axle can take weights of up to 1,450 kilograms, giving the Combo plenty of scope for big payloads.

Opel
Opel entered the automobile business in 1899, selling Opel-Lutzmann cars, the first of them being the “Patent Motor Car”. Partnership between Opel and Lutzman was terminated in 1901 and Adam Opel’s son initiated a new contract with the French carmaker Darracq that allowed the German company to built Opel-Darracq cars. These cars received their chassis from Darracq and their bodies from Opel.
