欧宝近日发布了2016款雅特K官图，该车将在9月开幕的法兰克福车展正式与公众见面。2016款雅特K最大变化是全新设计的车身结构使车重降低了120到200公斤，车身重量比老款车降低20%。另外底盘采用更紧凑副车架，高刚性和超高硬度轻量钢材以及前后轴其他减重措施，重量降低50公斤。虽然2016款车型的车身长度比老款车缩短5厘米至4.37米，轴距缩短2厘米至2.66米，高度也比雅特J降低2.6厘米至1.46米，但欧宝表示，新车腿部空间还是增加了35毫米。同时，新车风阻系数降至0.30以下。车厢采用了新的内装，包括最新一代IntelliLink信息娱乐系统，该系统集成8英寸触控显示屏并支持4G LTE移动Wi-Fi热点，可兼容安卓Auto和苹果CarPlay并可与欧宝的安吉星连接，提供辅助服务。2016款雅特提供了多项安全和辅助设备，包括车道保持辅助及车道偏离警示，交通信号辅助，巡航控制及限速器，泊车辅助，侧面盲点警示，倒车摄像头。为提升舒适性，该车配备驾驶员18向可调人机工程学座椅，带加热，透气和按摩功能，后排座椅可选装加热侧座椅。至于动力系统，新车入门级车型仍将搭载1.6升CDTI柴油引擎，功率70千瓦/95马力，而汽油引擎是一台1.0升ECOTEC三缸引擎，功率77千瓦/105马力。不过，新车将提供新的1.4升ECOTEC四缸全铝引擎，功率107千瓦/145马力，扭矩250牛米。在配置方面，雅特K提供了IntelliLux LED矩阵前大灯，照射距离为30-45米。在车辆时速80公里时，照射速度比卤族或氙气低亮度大灯都更快。
Opel Astra K officially unveiled with up to 200 kg weight loss
Opel has taken the wraps off the 2016 Astra K which will celebrate its public premiere in September at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
We've already talked about the design in our previous article so we shall focus on what's hiding underneath the sharper skin where Opel's engineers were able to shave off between 120 kg (264 lbs) and 200 kg (441 lbs) thanks to a "completely new vehicle architecture". The body shell is now 20% lighter than before (at 280 kg) while chassis tweaks have lowered the weight by 50 kg thanks to the implementation of compact subframes, high-strength and ultra-high-strength low-weight steels and other weight-saving measures to both axles.
Even though it's now 5 cm shorter (at 4.37 meters) and has a 2 cm shorter wheelbase (at 2.66 meters) than the outgoing model, Opel says the new model offers an extra 35 mm of legroom. It has a drag coefficient of below 0.30 and is 2.6 cm lower (at 1.46 meters) compared to the Astra J.
In terms of engines, the new generation Astra will be offered with a base 1.6 CDTI diesel rated at 95 PS (70 kW) while the entry-level gasoline motor is a 1.0 ECOTEC three-cylinder with 105 PS (77 kW). There's also an all-new 1.4 ECOTEC four-cylinder all-aluminum engine good enough for 145 PS (107 kW) and 250 Nm (185 lb-ft).
The Astra K also gets IntelliLux LED matrix headlights, representing a first-in-class feature and promising to detect objects 30-40 meters (98.4 – 131.2 feet) sooner than halogen or xenon low-beam lights when the car is traveling at 80 km/h (50 mph).
Stepping inside the cabin, Opel has adopted a new look with a latest-gen IntelliLink infotainment system compatible with Android Auto and CarPlay. It boasts an 8-inch touchscreen display and supports 4G LTE mobile Wi-Fi hotspot and works with Opel's OnStar personal connectivity and service assistant.
It will be offered with a plethora of safety & assistance systems including Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Traffic Sign Assistant, Cruise control with speed limiter, Advanced Park Assist, Side Blind Spot Alert and a rearview camera.
The driver will be able to enjoy an 18-way adjustable ergonomically-shaped seat with heating, ventilation and massaging function while those sitting on the rear seats will get optional heatable outer back seats.
The all-new Opel Astra will be unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show this fall and go on sale shortly thereafter.
