The Opel
Astra - The Metro 4 (Diesel)
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 suspensions are independent, wishbone plus McPherson strut in the front, and compound
link with double conical coil spring and torsion bar in the rear. Brakes are hydraulic,
diagonally split, power assisted disc (front) drum (rear), asbestos free.
The Metro 4 Diesel Model is the Budget Diesel car from the Opel stable and has all the
features that make a great car minus a few frills.
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.
