Opel’s new 6-speed automatic transmission will be available (at least in Germany) from the summer. It will equip the Meriva with the 1.4 T engine with a power of 120 PS. With this combination, the maximum torque rises to 20.4 kgm, available from 1,750 rpm. The process 0-100 is completed in 11.9 sec and the top speed is 185 km/h. In a combined cycle, consumption is at 7.2 lt/100 km and CO2 emissions at 169 g/km. The new automatic transmission contributes to lower consumption and shorter gear changes (by 40%). At the same time, it reduces noise and vibrations. The Meriva is already available with a 6-speed automatic transmission in the version with the 1.7 CDTI.
Prices in Germany for the Meriva 1.4 T 120 PS with the new automatic transmission start at 19,610 euros.
