The second Insignia generation is sportier and more dynamic. The load volume increases to 1640 liters, 100 liters more than its predecessor. The Rüsselsheim-based company also promises high-tech solutions ranging from pioneering intelligent LED lighting and state-of-the-art driver assistance systems to a head-up display. There is also first-class connectivity with smartphone integration. For the first time at Opel, the new Insignia generation features an eight-speed automatic transmission, a 360-degree all-round camera and intelligent all-wheel drive with wheel-specific power distribution. The new Sports Tourer will celebrate its world premiere at the Geneva Motor Show on March 7. It will then be available to order in Switzerland. Prices will be announced in Geneva.
Depending on the drive and equipment, the new model is up to 200 kilograms lighter than its predecessor. This was achieved primarily through the use of lightweight materials and efficient packaging. Together with the driver's lower seating position, the Insignia promises "noticeably more dynamism".
"Our new flagship is packed with high-tech for everyone; with affordable technologies that make driving safer and more comfortable. And then there's the space! Whether for work or leisure - the new Insignia Sports Tourer fulfills virtually every transport wish. This is the spaceship from Rüsselsheim. Last but not least: the driving experience. Really dynamic! The Insignia has been significantly slimmed down and features an enhanced FlexRide chassis," says Opel CEO Dr. Karl-Thomas Neumann, looking forward to the new model.
