At the Geneva Motor Show in 1997, the Opel Vectra Signum was presented as a concept car, the serial production of which, according to the company's specialists, was not planned. The car was created to demonstrate and test new technical solutions. The interior and exterior of the Opel Vectra C Signum became one of the topics of discussion, with the dashboard featuring a huge flat screen with four separate displays, and 19-inch wheels as "shoes" on the model.
in 2001, the second generation of the Signum was demonstrated in Frankfurt. Generation has become the same concept as the previous model, embodying the main creative ideas of the company. Serial production of the second generation was never launched, since the main goal was to test the new platform created by GM, conduct technical tests of the car and study the reactionpublic.
Signum III serial production and exterior
In 2003, Opel presented the front-wheel drive Opel Signum business class model, which was put into mass production. For a car positioned as a business model, it had a very unusual exterior, combining the features of a five-door hatchback and station wagon. However, it was thanks to the shape of the body in the cabin that there was enough free space for passengers.
The third generation of the Opel Signum received a trapezoidal false radiator grille and lower air intakes. Anti-fog optics round shape decorated with chrome edging.
Interior
The impressive dimensions of the Opel Signum are the key to a roomy, spacious and comfortable interior. The interior space can be transformed according to the individual preferences of passengers and the driver. The front seats allow people of any size to comfortably and comfortably accommodate. The seat design is equipped with the unique FlexSpace system, which provides a wide range of adjustments and impressive legroom for passengers.
The usual rear sofa in the Opel Signum is replaced by two full-fledged seats with a wide range of adjustments. Between them is a small chair that can be used as a fairly comfortable small table. Instead of the middle seat, the Travel Assistant multifunctional console is installed. Trunk volume varies from 455 to 1410 litersdepending on the interior configuration.
Specifications
The Opel Signum has a wide range of powertrains. Gasoline engines with a volume of 1, 8, 2 and 2.2 liters were equipped with a direct fuel injection system, and diesel turbocharged engines with a volume of 2, 2, 2 and 3 liters were equipped with a similar direct injection system. The power units are paired with a five-speed manual transmission or a five-speed ActiveSelect automatic transmission with manual shift mode.
Russian dealers offer only two versions of Opel Signum with petrol 155-horsepower engines of 2.2 liters and 3.2 liters.
Safety
The Opel Signum has a rich safety package, including side and frontal airbags and window blinds for front and rear passengers. The interactive driving system IDS provides a high level of driving comfort and safety. The Opel Signum is equipped with a pedal release system, active rear head restraints and three-point seat belts with pretensioners, height adjustment of the upper anchorages and force limiters.
Equipment packages
