No fear of the dark thanks to IntelliLux LED Matrix Light from Opel

• Adaptive IntelliLux LED light technology in Opel Corsa, Astra, Insignia and new Mokka
• LED headlamps standard on many Opel models
• Energy saving LED lights further increase efficiency

Opel Corsa with IntelliLux LED matrix light

Clocks have just been put back one hour to winter time, but the darker season holds no fear for Opel drivers – from Corsa and Astra to the flagship Insignia, their cars are ideally equipped for driving in gloomy conditions with IntelliLux LED matrix light.

Brand new among the models with this technology is the new Opel Mokka and the all-electric Mokka-e, which are also available with adaptive, glare-free IntelliLux LED Matrix light.

Full LED headlamps with numerous automatic functions are also available on the majority of Opel passenger cars, such as the Opel Grandland X and the new Opel Crossland. Compared with conventional systems, LED lights are not only brighter, but also more durable and energy-efficient and therefore further reduce CO2 emissions.

Precise, glare-free, bright as day: Adaptive IntelliLux LED Matrix light

IntelliLux LED Matrix light is far superior to xenon or conventional systems because it is more precise and more powerful. Clever headlamps make driving in darkness safer and more comfortable. As soon as the car leaves urban surroundings, the matrix headlamps switch automatically to main-beam and continuously adapt the range and distribution of the light cone, regardless of whether the car is on the motorway, country roads or driving through a curve. LED segments rapidly and automatically adapt to the prevailing traffic situation. Individual LEDs switch off in milliseconds, turning night into day without glare for oncoming traffic.

Adaptive IntelliLux LED Pixel Light of the Opel Insignia features 168 LED elements, 84 per headlamp. High number of continuously reacting LED elements results in a seamless adaptation. Approaching or preceding traffic is precisely “cut” out of the light beam.

In particular, Pixel Light provides a further improved autobahn function. In left-hand curves, additional light shines to the left, improving the driver’s visibility of the driving lane, while sufficient light remains on the right for the driver to see, for example, roadside signs. In right-hand curves, the light shines more to the right, in order to avoid glare for oncoming traffic.

New Opel Mokka with full LED light as standard

Opel offers advanced lighting in many other models as well. New Opel Mokka, for example, features a full LED system consisting of headlamps, daylight running lamps, indicators and LED taillights as standard. New Opel Crossland is available with optional adaptive full LED headlamps, with curve light, main beam assist and automatic levelling all integrated in the Opel Vizor, as on the new Mokka.

Instead of the standard ECO LED headlamps, Opel Grandland X is also available with the option of camera-based, adaptive AFL LED technology. Thanks to the automatic main beam, the driver does not need to switch it on and off manually to prevent glare for other road users. AFL LED headlamps feature up to eight individual functions – light for town, country roads, motorways, cornering, turning and parking, plus main beam assist and automatic dipping.

Opel Corsa GS Line 

Opel Corsa now offers even higher comfort. Germany’s most popular small car is now available as the high-end Ultimate variant, bringing additional premium features to the small car segment as standard. Opel Corsa Ultimate, which is offered from €23,870 (all prices RRP incl. VAT in Germany), leaves nothing to be desired. Innovations such as the IntelliLux LED Matrix light, which is unique in this vehicle class and the Multimedia Navi Pro infotainment system are standard, along with OpelConnect Services and the luxurious Alcantara trim. For fans of even sportier looks, Opel is making the Corsa GS Line even sharper than before.

Opel Corsa GS Line 

New Opel Corsa Ultimate is the only Corsa that offers the top-of-the-line Multimedia Navi Pro infotainment system at no extra charge. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatible Multimedia Navi Pro has a high-resolution 10-inch colour touchscreen and voice control for audio, telephone and navigation. In combination with the standard OpelConnect Services, route guidance is even more practical and time-saving. With LIVE Navigation 1, traffic events are registered in real time and traffic jams can be avoided dynamically. In addition, OpelConnect offers a direct connection to breakdown assistance and emergency calls. Help is available in seconds using the red button. If the seat belt tensioners or airbags are triggered, the system automatically sends an emergency call. In order to make the journey in the battery-electric Corsa-e even more relaxing, other special services and solutions for electric vehicles are accessible via smartphone with OpelConnect and the myOpel app as well as the Free2Move Services2 app.

Standard automatic climate control and Alcantara trim with black seat covers promise maximum comfort in the new Opel Corsa Ultimate. Driver and front passenger sit on six-way adjustable, heated seats. Electro-pneumatically adjustable driver's seat features a massage function. Heated leather steering wheel makes driving even more pleasant right from starting the engine, especially in winter.

Adaptive IntelliLux LED Matrix light increases safety in the dark in every Corsa Ultimate. As soon as the Corsa passes the city limits, the headlamps with glare-free IntelliLux LED Matrix light switch to high beam mode. LED elements then automatically and continuously adapt the light beam to the respective traffic situation and environment. Cars driving in front as well as oncoming cars are simply "cut" out of the light cone if necessary. This means that there is no glare and the driver has optimum vision. Opel offers the pioneering lighting technology across all segments, from the top model O    pel Insignia to the Opel Astra, the new Opel Mokka and, of course, Opel Corsa.

Seventeen-inch light-alloy wheels in stylish bi-colour black are now standard on the Opel Corsa GS Line, as well as the Opel Corsa Ultimate. As further eye-catchers, sport seats with red accents and the standard black roof, contrasting with the rest of the paintwork, now sharpen the sporty character of the GS Line (available from €20,855).

• Optimal: New Opel Insignia among most fuel-efficient cars in its segment

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.
