The Opel Zafira people mover is now available with a 1.6 litre turbocharged CNG engine that produces 150 horsepower and 210Nm of torque, the rough equivalent of a very torquey normally aspirated 2.0 litre engine. Relying on the on-board CNG tanks alone, it can travel up to 370km thanks to its 4 separate CNG tanks and a 14 litre backup regular gasoline tank (obviously downsized from the gasoline-only model) provides up to 150km of additional mileage for you to get to a CNG station and fill her up.
Now this is the kind of powertrain that we need in the new Proton MPV, forget the CNG, even a nice small displacement turbocharged would be nice to provide a relaxed and torquey drive without having to rev the engine much.

Brader, all Nabira that was brought in by HICOMOBIL was sold within 2 years until production stops soon after that. It has proven to be popular here and very popular in europe. And don’t even compare the Nabira with Avanza. Two worlds apart!
