Opel/Vauxhall gives Adam a three-cylinder

Adam is the first car in the OpelVauxhall range to receive the new, all-aluminium three-cylinder 1-litre Ecotech direct injection turbocharged gasoline engine developed at the company’s International Technical Development Centre.

The engine comes in two power outputs: 90PS and 115PS. Both ratings deliver low-end torque of 166Nm from 1,800rev/min. Like the two new generation 1.6-litre mid-size units the company has launched recently, the1.6 Ecotech direct injection turbocharged gasoline engine and the 1.6 CDTi ‘Whisper Diesel’, the new 1-litre Ecotech is said offer “benchmark refinement with outstandingly low noise, vibration and harshness”.
