Opel Vivaro C Combi M: Overview

The Vivaro C Combi M distinguishes itself through its modular design and focus on practicality. It’s built on Stellantis’s EMP2 platform, shared with other Peugeot and Citroën vehicles, allowing for a flexible interior layout and a range of configurations. The “Combi M” designation indicates a medium-length wheelbase and a focus on passenger comfort. The 2.0d variant signifies the use of a 2.0-liter diesel engine producing 150 horsepower. This model prioritizes fuel efficiency and torque, making it suitable for both urban driving and longer journeys.

Engine & Performance

The Opel Vivaro C Combi M 2.0d is powered by a 1.997-liter inline-four cylinder diesel engine, designated D20DTH or DW10FDU. This engine delivers a maximum power output of 150 horsepower at 4000 rpm and a torque of 370 Nm (272.9 lb.-ft.) at 2000 rpm. The engine utilizes a diesel commonrail fuel injection system and is equipped with a turbocharger and intercooler to optimize performance and efficiency. The front-mounted, transverse engine layout contributes to a favorable weight distribution. The powertrain is coupled with a six-speed manual transmission, directing power to the front wheels. This configuration results in a weight-to-power ratio of 12 kg/Hp and a weight-to-torque ratio of 4.9 kg/Nm. Fuel economy figures are rated at 5.4-5.8 l/100 km combined (43.6 – 40.6 US mpg, 52.3 – 48.7 UK mpg), with CO2 emissions ranging from 142-152 g/km, meeting Euro 6d-TEMP emission standards.
