Next year, Opel plans to introduce a medium -sized crossover comparable to Zafira Tourer. According to journalists of one of the automobile publications, the car can be produced at the facilities of the plant in the German city of Ryusselshaim.
The new Opel crossover will look like a compactivent Zafira Tourer
In the line of the company, the crossover was located above the Opel Mokka SUV and, quite likely, will replace the already outdated Opel Antara in the leaders of the leaders. The Opel crossover, according to journalists from the UK, should be touched on sale in 2015.
Despite the fact that the manufacturers themselves have not yet commented on the information, there is something to profit from the “insiders”. It seems to us that you should not pay attention in technical terms to an imaginary connection with the “backbone”. In this case, the SUV will clearly become a fairly large representative of the segment C C+. Previously, even the B-Crossover Mokka was able to overcome this bar. It is likely that the car can replace the already frankly “middle -aged” Antara alternate.
Will the novelty of the Opel chassis from the family Zafira Tourer be able to get with its 5 doors and a half-dependent rear suspension with the Watt mechanism, it is not clear. True, General Motors, which is also used for the new Chevrolet Cruze, can be used as a platform. During the first tests, Opel will show more information.
As for the choice of a motor for a crossover from Opel, then it is worth making an assumption that the car will receive a large -scale update of the entire ruler. With a high degree of probability, these will be 4-cylinder diesel and gasoline “boosts” with highly effective power systems. Of course, the relatively outdated engine of the frontier Opel will not be here, more modern solutions will choose.

As for the choice of transmission, then everything is somewhat more complicated. They say that in the “collection” of the German Opel can get an 8-speed guidrotransformer automatic transmission. A crossover all-wheel drive will work on an electronically controlled coupling, which will be connected to the rear axle preventively or in the fact of slipping the wheel.
