At the Auto Zürich Car Show (November 02 - 05), they will be the first in the spotlight: the Insignia GSi sports sedan and the new Insignia Country Tourer. As a novelty, Opel will also show the Opel Grandland X, which was launched at Swiss dealerships at the end of October.
Sports equipment for connoisseurs
The Insignia GSi is a sports sedan for those who appreciate something special. According to the manufacturer, the all-wheel drive with torque vectoring is unique in this segment. It also comes with two engines: the 191 kW/260 hp 2.0 Direct Injection Turbo gasoline engine and, on the diesel side, the newly designed two-liter BiTurbo diesel with 154 kW/210 hp. The Insignia GSi will be available to order in Switzerland from December 2017. The first vehicles will arrive at dealerships in spring 2018.
Offroad look
The new Insignia Country Tourer is the right choice for outdoor enthusiasts. The all-wheel drive vehicle can be ordered from as little as 44,900 Swiss francs and will be on its way to Swiss dealers from November. Power is provided by turbo gasoline and turbo diesel engines. The top powerplant on the diesel side is the new 2.0 BiTurbo diesel with 154 kW/210 hp. On the gasoline side, the two-liter turbo direct-injection engine with 191 kW/260 hp tops the list. Also available is a 2.0 l diesel with 125 kW/170 hp.
