While all engines have been reworked in 2010 to offer more power with lower fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, a new 70 kW/ 95 hp ecoFLEX 1.3 CDTI version now equipped with Start/Stop technology further increases the Opel Corsa's overall efficiency: The three-door version only requires 3.5 liters diesel per 100 km and emits just 94 g/km CO2.
Start/Stop technology especially enables a reduction in fuel consumption in urban traffic - at 4.2 liter/100 km versus 4.6 l/100 km previously for the Corsa 1.3 CDTI ecoFLEX emitting 98 g/km CO.
A complete family on constant move
The powertrain line-up of the Opel Corsa ranges from 48 kW/65 hp to 141 kW/192 hp. This engine family was updated in 2010 with many new engines meeting Euro 5 emission standards that reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by up to 13 percent while increasing engine power in most applications.
To help drivers lower their fuel consumption even while driving a powerful car, a 'shift up' indicator light was added to the main instrument display.

Opel Corsa ecoFLEX: Low Fuel Consumption and CO2, Lots of Driving Fun
The ecoFLEX variant is the lowest-consumption, especially low-emission member in each Opel model line-up. The new Corsa ecoFLEX ideally illustrates Opel's philosophy of developing ecologically responsible cars that are still fun to drive.
Opel's new super-efficient Opel Corsa ecoFLEX is powered by the sophisticated, 70 kW/95 hp 1.3 CDTI diesel engine boosted by a turbo with variable geometry and now equipped with Start/Stop technology. Meeting Euro 5 emission standards and equipped with a Diesel Particulate Filter that cuts the emissions that are the most detrimental to health, it needs only 3.5 l/100 km and releases just 94 g/km CO2 in its three-door variant (five-door: 3.6 l/100 km and 95 g/km) while delivering powerful and lively performance.
With the Corsa ecoFLEX, fleet and private drivers in many European countries may benefit from special eco tax advantages and very low fuel costs without polluting the air with diesel particulates.

The 1.3 CDTI engine in the new Corsa ecoFLEX 70 kW/95 hp uses a turbocharger and delivers up to a plentiful 190 Nm of torque between 1,750 and 3,250 rpm.
The engine of the Opel Corsa ecoFLEX combines two strengths: low CO2 and high performance. Opel engineers achieved this by using a turbo with variable turbine geometry, which significantly improves the engine's performance.
They also optimized the calibration on the engine to greatly increase low-end torque and peak power, making a new transmission set-up possible: A longer transmission gear ratio was selected for the five-speed unit, to the benefit of fuel consumption and CO2 values below 100 g. The new 70 kW/95 hp Corsa ecoFLEX has a top speed of 177 km/h and needs only 12.3 seconds to reach 100 km/h from a standstill.

Opel ecoFLEX: Start/Stop to reduce CO2 emissions
Opel is progressively making Start/Stop fuel-saving technology available on most ecoFLEX models. After the 55 kW/75 hp version of the Opel Corsa 1.3 CDTI in summer 2010, which benefited from 10.8 per cent lower fuel consumption thanks to this system (from 4.5 to 4.0 liter per 100 km), the most powerful version of the 1.3 CDTI now also receives the system. By the end of 2011, all Opel product lines will feature this eco-friendly technology.
The Start/Stop principle is simple: An engine which is not running does not consume fuel. With a Start/Stop system, instead of idling at a traffic light or in a traffic jam, the engine stops when the driver engages the neutral gear and releases the clutch pedal.
This is indicated by the revolution counter needle moving to the "AUTOSTART" position, also signaling that the system is ready to restart the engine. When the traffic light turns green or traffic gets fluid again, drivers simply press the clutch pedal to restart the engine, shift into first gear and take off. By eliminating idling time, engines emit less greenhouse gases.
In addition, with no engine noise, stops get quieter for the car occupants as well as for pedestrians and cyclists in urban areas. Naturally, owners see the greatest savings in city driving. In the urban cycle, the 70 kW/95 hp Corsa 1.3 CDTI with Start/Stop emits 8.7 percent less CO2 than the similar version without this eco-friendly technology - or, 4.2 l/100 km, compared with 4.6 l/100 km without Start/Stop. In the combined cycle, the Opel Corsa 1.3 CDTI with Start/Stop requires only 3.5 liters of diesel per 100 km.

In the combined cycle, the Opel Corsa 1.3 CDTI with Start/Stop requires only 3.5 liters of diesel per 100 km.
The following conditions must be fulfilled to activate Start/Stop:
- the hood is fully closed
- the driver's door is closed
- the seat belt is fastened
- the engine is warmed up
- the battery is sufficiently charged
- engine coolant temperature is not too high
- ambient temperature is not too low (below -10°C), below this temperature the system will not be activated
- brake vacuum is sufficient to ensure optimal braking capability
- the self-cleaning function of the diesel particulate filter is not active
If there is any change in any of these conditions during an automatic engine stop ordered by the driver (AUTOSTOP), the system may restart the engine automatically without the driver's intervention. And as some drivers may prefer to switch the system off, they can press the ECO button located on the center console to manually deactivate it. The deactivation is indicated by the LED in the button turning off.
