Opel Combo Makes a Splash: Cheaper Than a Clio, Yet Packed with Power

According to a report from otomobilhaber.com, the latest price updates in Turkey’s automotive market have turned heads — and none more than the surprise coming from Opel Combo, which now undercuts even the Renault Clio in pricing, despite offering a much larger body and versatile features.


Combo’s Aggressive Pricing Shakes Up the Market

Opel has taken an audacious step by launching its Combo at such competitive prices that it’s not only becoming a favorite among commercial users but also attracting attention from families looking for a spacious, fuel-efficient vehicle at an affordable cost.

Despite being a light commercial vehicle (LCV), Combo’s latest price tag makes it a compelling alternative even in the compact car segment, a space usually dominated by models like the Renault Clio. This surprising move is part of Opel’s broader strategy to carve out a larger share in both commercial and personal-use vehicle markets.


Same Bones as Its Cousins — But Cheaper

One key reason behind Combo’s pricing power is its shared DNA with other models under the Stellantis umbrella. While Opel Combo may have many rivals in its segment, a good number of them are built on identical platforms, meaning they offer the same design cues and nearly identical interior quality.

That’s where Opel scores big — by offering similar performance and comfort at a significantly lower price point, it continues to captivate price-conscious buyers.


What’s Under the Hood?

The base model of the Opel Combo features a 1.5-liter diesel engine paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. Despite being an entry-level powertrain, it delivers 130 horsepower, offering enough punch for everyday urban drives and long-distance travel.

Fuel economy is another strong suit. With its efficient diesel engine, the Combo offers decent mileage, further adding to its appeal as a cost-effective option in today’s high-fuel-price climate.


Interior Tech That Surprises

Opel isn’t holding back on interior features either. Despite its commercial vehicle roots, the Combo’s cabin boasts a wide digital display, a modern infotainment system, and a host of comfort features typically reserved for pricier passenger cars.

From ergonomic seating to ample cargo space, it’s clear the German automaker wants the Combo to double as a smart choice for both business and personal use.

These prices make Combo one of the most competitively priced vehicles in Turkey’s zero-kilometer car market — especially given the scarcity of affordable diesel-powered options with such configurations.

🗣️ Reporter’s Commentary – From the NewsTimesTurkey Desk

From a journalist’s perspective, Opel’s pricing strategy here is bold and timely. In a market battered by inflation, currency swings, and tightening budgets, offering a high-functionality vehicle cheaper than a Clio is no small feat. Opel is clearly positioning the Combo as a smart family car in disguise, with the heart of a workhorse and the soul of a hatchback.

If this pricing holds, don’t be surprised to see Combo eating into passenger car sales — not just in fleets, but in everyday households. And let’s be honest — who wouldn’t want a diesel-powered, tech-filled, family hauler that costs less than your average subcompact?

Stay tuned — this might be the sleeper hit of 2024.
