General Motors are planning on rolling out a new diesel version of their hit sedan, Chevrolet Optra. The diesel Optra will come with a TCDi engine - Turbo Charged Common Rail Direct Injection. The plans at the moment is to launch the car as early as next month.
This TCDi technology uses a new type of common rail technique which is a bit different from the CRDi engine. GM has been very active in rolling out new cars with them having launched 3 cars in 2006. The Aveo (sedan), SRV (sports model), and the Aveo U-va which is their small car. In 2007 they have already announced their Chevrolet Spark which is a pepped up Matiz.
The Optra diesel will cost about Rs. 10 lakhs - indicative price ex-showroom Delhi. This will definitely be atleast 20% cheaper than the diesel Skoda Octavia, which costs as much as Rs. 14+ lakhs.
