Opel {link} have an important new model release in 2008, plus a few additions to their current models, a face lift and a new version of a current model. First up, just after the New Year parties have died down, is the face lift of the Zafira. Hot on the heels of the updated Zafira is the new Agila in early spring. The middle of 2008 sees Opel launch their Ecoflex model designation into the Astra, Corsa, Meriva and Zafira ranges. The replacement for the Vectra is available from the end of autumn with the saloon Aura arriving in dealers a few months before the Aura estate.
The Opel Ecoflex models are optimised to offer the best environmental performance possible by using slightly revised aerodynamics, light weight materials, altered gearing and different tyres. Similar in concept to Mercedes’ Bluetec, Volkswagen’s Bluemotion and Skoda’s Green Line, Opel’s Ecoflex models concentrate on better economy and lower emissions. Opel’s first Ecoflex model will be a 1300cc CDTi Corsa in mid-spring.
