Detailed analysis of the Opel Combo Tour Excellence 2.0 CDTI 135 CV 5 plazas (2012-2013)
General description
The Opel Combo Tour Excellence 2.0 CDTI 135 HP, launched in 2012, is presented as a practical and versatile option for those seeking a family or work vehicle with a touch of comfort. With its 135 HP diesel engine, it promises a balance between performance and efficiency, ideal for daily use and getaways.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the Combo Tour Excellence offers an honest driving experience. The 135 HP diesel engine, with its 320 Nm of torque from low revolutions, responds capably, allowing for 0 to 100 km/h acceleration in 11.3 seconds and a top speed of 179 km/h. The suspension, McPherson type at the front and trailing arm with independent arms at the rear, along with anti-roll bars, provides a good compromise between comfort and stability, absorbing road irregularities without sacrificing control. Electric power steering facilitates maneuvers in the city, although it might lack the precision of other models. Overall, it conveys a sense of robustness and reliability, though without great sporting pretensions.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the 2012 Opel Combo Tour Excellence is eminently functional. Its lines are clean and practical, prioritizing interior space and cargo capacity. With a length of 4390 mm and a height of 1845 mm, its silhouette is that of a commercial vehicle adapted for passengers, which translates into a generous cabin. Exterior details, such as the headlights and grille, are coherently integrated with the brand's general aesthetic at the time, without ostentation. The interior, although sober, is designed to be durable and easy to maintain, with a logical arrangement of controls and good visibility.
Technology and features
In terms of technology, the 2012 Opel Combo Tour Excellence focuses on the essential and functional. Its 2.0 CDTI engine incorporates common rail direct injection, variable geometry turbo, and intercooler, technologies that optimize performance and fuel efficiency. The 6-speed manual transmission allows precise control over power delivery. In terms of safety, it features 305 mm ventilated disc brakes on the front axle and 254 mm drums on the rear, ensuring adequate braking capacity. Electric power steering is a plus for comfort in urban driving. However, do not expect the latest innovations in infotainment or driving assistants found in more modern vehicles, as its focus is more utilitarian.
Competition
In its segment, the Opel Combo Tour Excellence 2.0 CDTI 135 HP competes with models such as the Citroën Berlingo, Peugeot Partner Tepee, Renault Kangoo Combi, and Fiat Doblò Combi. All of them offer similar solutions in terms of space, versatility, and diesel engines, although the Combo stands out for its 135 HP engine, which gives it a slight power advantage over some of its direct alternatives of the time. Its price of 20,140 euros in 2013, with an official discount of 6,496 euros, positioned it competitively in the market.
Conclusion
The Opel Combo Tour Excellence 2.0 CDTI 135 HP is a vehicle that more than fulfills its purpose: to offer spacious, functional, and efficient transport. Its diesel engine is robust and capable, ideal for those who need to move cargo or passengers with ease. While its design is more practical than passionate and its technology focuses on the essential, its reliability and generous interior space, with a 790-liter trunk, make it a very attractive option for families or professionals looking for a durable and uncomplicated travel companion. It is a car that, without being love at first sight, earns respect for its honesty and capability.
