Opel Zafira powered by 1.6 liter CNG turbo engine

Opel Zafira CNG Turbo

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!

    but those smart people at GM decided that we asians got captiva no need nabira anymore. fuck you, no wonder your company dying. plus the opel antara is a much nicer car than the captiva.
