Diesel 1.3 with 95bhp in new Astra

[Ulpian]

I notice the new Astra will have a 1.3 Diesel with 95bhp. This must be the Fiat Multijet2 engine we will be getting at the same time (September).

Any details anyone?

Not necessarily. 5 HP is just an incremental increase and a very small increment at that. It's probabaly a tweak to improve drivability at low engine speed, a weak point with the 90 HP version.

I'm not so sure. Very sparse car news right now; roll on Frankfurt.
