Opel/Vauxhall Mokka to get 109g/km "Whisper Diesel"
Already available in the Astra, Meriva and Zafira Tourer ranges, the new engine is gradually replacing the 1.7-litre CDTi across the range, and will be offered in the more powerful 138PS form in the Mokka, according to sister brand Opel.
It brings the crossover closer to key rival the Nissan Juke, at 104g/km, as well as slashing running costs from the old 1.7 CDTi’s 120g/km and 4.5l/100km, and improving on refinement too.
Full details will be released at the Paris Motor Show at the end of the week.
