Fully equipped: Ventilation, heating, massage function, adjustable side bolster
Strong support in corners and high comfort over long distances: New performance sport seat of the Opel Insignia GSi.
Excellent seats are just as much part of Opel as the iconic Blitz on
the grille. The Rüsselsheim-based carmaker offers AGR certified (Aktion Gesunder Rücken e.V.) ergonomic seats for a wide range of models
starting with the sub-compact Opel Crossland X. The latest development
in seating technology with outstanding lateral support and best
long-distance comfort is now celebrating its debut in the new sporty
flagship, the Opel Insignia GSi and the GSi Sports Tourer. The
AGR-certified Opel performance sport seat comes with all advanced
features already known from the top-of-the-range seats available for the
Insignia. The integral seat in the GSi also comes with ventilation,
heating, a message function and adjustable side bolsters. These features
are complimented by the high backrest with integrated headrest in the
sportiest member of the Insignia line-up. In addition, the belt route at
shoulder height is exemplary – not a given for integral sports seats.
Customers can also choose between two premium leather combinations,
while a discreet GSi logo adorns the back rest.
The length, depth, cushion and back angle of the seats that looks
like a king cobra ready to strike can all be adjusted electrically. The
air cushions of the four-way lumbar support along with the variable side
bolsters are also activated electrically. All of these settings can be
saved via the memory button – only the seat depth adjustment needs to be
done manually. The ventilation and the heating are integrated in the
cushion and backrest. In addition, the driver can enjoy a back massage.
Overall the sum of sporty side support and comfort features makes the
new performance seat a unique offer – developed in the competency centre
for healthy seating in Rüsselsheim.
First ultra-sporty looking performance seat entirely from a manufacturer
Normally, carmakers buy the extra-sporty integral seats from a
specialised supplier. However, this is very different in the case of the
Opel Insignia GSi. The Technical Development Centre can draw on a vast
amount of competence when it comes to seat structures. The concept for
the second generation of the Insignia always foresaw a modular system
with the integral performance seat forming the pinnacle. This enabled
all of the comfort features to be maintained in a thoroughbred sport
seat. Furthermore, the Opel in-house development also delivers on
stylish highlights: the hinted guides for shoulder belts in the back
rest look exactly like the air intakes at the front of the Opel Insignia
GSi and demonstrate the outstanding attention to detail.
The base structure of the performance seat also stems from Opel. The
key steel elements are from the plant in Kaiserslautern. The unified
development and production of the new bucket seat also results in
significant weight savings. While the sport seat – without any of the
comfort features available in the GSi – weighs 28 kilogrammes in the
Opel Corsa OPC which has been on the market for some years, the new integral
seat with all its functionalities only adds 26 kilogrammes to the Opel
Insignia GSi.
High savings potential: Exemplary economical TCO values per kilometre
High-class equipment: Business Edition with numerous extras as standard
Wildly popular: Already many awards for new Opel flagship generation
High savings potential: Opel Insignia is best-in-class for total cost of ownership.
The new Opel Insignia is the economic wonder in the mid-size class.
The Opel flagship impresses as much with its sporty style, premium
comfort and top technologies as it does with its cost-effectiveness.
Customers benefit from a lower total cost of ownership (TCO) for the
Insignia than for comparable competitors in the high-volume and premium
segment. This makes the Insignia Grand Sport and Sports Tourer
particularly attractive for both private and fleet customers.
Cost effective: Class-leading total cost of ownership makes the
Opel Insignia Sports Tourer estate (photo) and Grand Sport sedan
especially attractive for private as well as business customers.
Business Edition: Top equipment at special price
Especially the Business trim levels offer high comfort and a host of
technologies as standard in a complete package for an extremely
attractive price. The Insignia Business Edition already comes with
features such as the Navi 900 IntelliLink infotainment system and
integrated navigation as well as the AGR-certified (Campaign for
Healthier Backs) ergonomic seat. This abundance of equipment is one of
the reasons for the Insignia’s high resale value.
But many other factors also ensure that the Opel flagship pays off
more than the competitors in its segment: thanks to ultra-modern
production methods and high-class materials the Insignia achieves an
outstanding level of quality, which is important for a long life cycle
with stable residual values. In addition, clever engineering, efficient
propulsion systems, innovative technologies and assistance systems make
driving safer. This all results in favourable insurance ratings, low
servicing and repair costs as well as reduced fuel costs.
As Turbo diesel or Turbo petrol unit: Opel Insignia pays off
According to current calculations and based on current prices (more
information below) the total cost of ownership for the Insignia Grand
Sport Business Edition with a 100 kW/136 hp 1.6 liter Turbo diesel (NEDC
fuel consumption with Start/Stop and six-speed manual transmission:
urban 5.11 l/100 km, extra-urban 3.9[1] l/100 km, combined 4.31 l/100 km, 1141 g/km CO2)
is an extremely economical €0.35 per kilometre driven. It’s a similar
situation with the identically motorised and equipped Insignia Sports
Tourer (NEDC fuel consumption with Start/Stop and six-speed manual
transmission: urban 5.3 l/100 km, extra-urban 4.1 l/100 km, combined 4.5
l/100 km, 119 g/km CO2): the correspondingly calculated
total cost of ownership is just under €0.38 per kilometre driven. The
Insignia Sports Tourer Business Edition with the 2.0-litre Turbo diesel
with 125 kW/170 hp (NEDC fuel consumption with Start/Stop and six-speed
manual transmission: urban 6.9 l/100 km, extra-urban 4.3 l/100 km,
combined 5.3 l/100 km, 139 g/km CO2) also impresses with
exemplary TCO values which are currently only €0.38 per kilometre driven
on the afore-mentioned basis – compared to almost €0.42 for the closest
comparable competitor.
But it’s not just the Opel Insignia diesel variants, the petrol
models also pay off in terms of total cost of ownership: the Business
Edition with the 121 kW/165 hp 1.5 litre Turbo ECOTEC unit (NEDC fuel
consumption with Start/Stop and six-speed manual transmission: urban
7.5-7.3 l/100 km, extra-urban 4.9-4.8 l/100 km, combined 5.8-5.7 l/100
km, 133-130 g/km CO2) also boasts high economy with the Grand Sport just under €0.43 and the Sports Tourer just under €0.44 per kilometre.
The total cost of ownership is calculated from the costs for maintenance[2],
insurance, fuel consumption (official fuel consumption in the New
European Driving Cycle NEDC according to Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 and
Regulation (EC) No 692/2008 in the applicable versions[3])
and taxes as well as the expected depreciation after three years and
90,000 kilometres (diesel vehicles) or five years and 100,000 kilometres
(petrol vehicles). The basis for this is the data provided by the
independent organisation Audatex Cost-of-Ownership Solutions in the
autumn of 2017, as well as the current GDV insurance classifications on
typklasse.de. The fuel prices used in the calculation were obtained from
www.benzinpreis.de (status October 2017: petrol - €1.374/litre, diesel -
€1.188/litre), published in ams autokauf in the autumn of 2017. The
residual values are based on the prognoses of Bähr & Fess Forecasts.
Simply superb: The Opel flagship impresses
The Opel Insignia thus offers an attractive overall package that wins
over customers and experts alike. Even though the youngest generation
of Opel’s flagship has been on Europe’s roads for just a few months, it
has already received a number of awards. These include the “Golden
Steering Wheel” 2017 in Poland (Auto Swiat) and Slovenia (Auto Bild) as
well as “Best Car 2017” (Fleet Cars & Vans, Fleet Auto Premium) in
Poland and “Fleet News of the Year” (FLEET Magazine) in the Czech
Republic.
