The Opel Astra -
The MY 99 DIESEL
The CLUB is the fully loaded model introduced as part of the '100 years of Opel'
celebrations. The engine is a 1.7 litre Intercooler Turbo Diesel. The advanced
automotive technology of the turbocharger essentially increases the power output of an
engine. The Intercooler, as the one on the Astra 1.7TD, supplements the functioning of the
turbochargers. It caters to the requirements of high performance turbo engines by
providing the air-fuel mixtures at optimal temperatures to enhance power delivery.
The car stresses on the comfort angle for both the driver and the passengers. The
instrument panel is designed to wrap around the driving position to provide a
user-friendly console. There is special pollen filter that keeps the dust and pollution
out-side the car. The trunk has ample luggage carrying space, along with a low loading
aperture for ease of access. Moreover individually foldable rear seats allow variation of
load space.
Safety features:
The Opel Astra incorporates some of the most advanced safety features in the world. The
Opel was one of the first vehicles in its class to have side-impact protective bars as a
standard feature. Integrated ramps in the seat frames prevent passengers from
"submarining" under the seat belt in the event of a collision.
