New Opel Insignia Grand Sport and Opel Insignia Sports Tourer

Opel is adding a new petrol engine to the powertrain portfolio of the new Insignia Grand Sport limousine and the Insignia Sports Tourer estate. New power unit produces 125 kW (170 hp) and already develops maximum torque of 350 Newton metres at only 1,500 rpm (Grand Sport fuel consumption in the NEDC 1 cycle: combined 6.0-6.4l/100km, 150-145g/km CO2). Opel offers the four-cylinder engine in combination with a smooth-shifting nine-speed automatic transmission. In this configuration, the Opel flagship accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in only 8.7 seconds. Maximum speed is 228km/h. New Opel Insignia 2.0 Turbo is already available in Elegance trim at a starting price of €38,919 (all prices RRP including VAT in Germany).

Also new is the combination of 2.0 diesel, eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive. With 128 kW (174 hp) and 380 Nm of torque, Opel Insignia 2.0 Diesel offers a calm, confident performance (Grand Sport fuel consumption in the NEDC 1 cycle: combined 5.1l/100km, 135 g/km CO2). High-tech all-wheel drive system with torque vectoring transfers optimum power to the road surface in all conditions. Maximum speed is 223 km/h and the Opel Insignia takes only 8.9s to sprint from zero to 100 km/h. Opel Insignia 2.0 Turbo D with AWD is available from €41,531.

“New Opel Insignia has been in production at our Rüsselsheim plant since September”, says Andreas Marx, Head of Opel Germany. “We are especially proud of our flagship and its dynamic yet elegant design. With the two new additions to our powertrain portfolio, every customer can choose the ideal  Opel Insignia for their very own needs.”

New Opel Insignia GSi Sports Tourer

Opel offers the new Insignia as the especially sporty GSi (169 kW/230 hp, Grand Sport NEDC 1 fuel consumption: combined 7.0l/100km, 159 g/km CO2), Grand Sport and Sports Tourer with newly developed, extra-efficient petrol and diesel engines that all meet the strict Euro 6d emissions standard. In addition, new low-friction gearboxes further reduce fuel consumption and at the same time increase comfort. An active full-face shutter further improves the new Insignia’s aerodynamics. Compared to its predecessor, NEDC fuel consumption is up to 18 per cent lower, while CO2 emissions are as low as around 99 g/km. New Opel Insignia is therefore one of the most fuel-efficient cars in its segment.
