Most recently, Opel held a presentation of the Opel Insignia Sports Tourer in Europe. The main difference of the new model is a 2-liter turbocharged engine with a capacity of 250 horsepower.

But there are other nice changes in the car. First, a very pleasant appearance. Many experts note that this is one of the best models over the past few years, if you evaluate it in appearance. It is very rare that a station wagon receives such praise. Drivers' favorites are usually either sedans or SUVs, but not station wagons. With all this, appearance is not the main advantage of the Opel Insignia Sports Tourer. The motor, whose power is 250 horsepower, with a torque of 400 Nm, is not only good, it is impressive. But first things first.

In the interior of the car, everything is done so that the driver would be as comfortable as possible to operate such a powerful device. A high central panel is installed between the driver and passenger seats. It seems that you are separated by a partition. This technique has long been used by BMW manufacturers. All control detailsas if looking towards the driver's seat, thereby creating a sporty environment for the driver.

In order to implement this mode, the driver has everything. Gear shifting is perfect, no delays. If you still enter into a sports mood, then your delight will not have a limit. Naturally, if you look at the fuel consumption gauge, then your mood will change to the exact opposite. In some cases, consumption reaches 40 liters per 100 km.

A unique chassis management system called FlexRide helps create the unique sporting flair that the Opel Insignia Sports Tourer has. It responds very quickly to changes in any settings, and also adapts to the owner's driving style. How? You need to ask the manufacturers for this. It is suitable for both everyday driving and travel.

On European autobahns, Opel Insignia Sports Tourer quickly picks up speed of 200 km/h, although this is clearly not its limit. It is not difficult to control it at this speed, because it holds the road very well. All-wheel drive uses a Haldex clutch, which has proven itself well. It is good because it does not require maintenance. A station wagon driver rarely needs four-wheel drive, so the engineers have provided for the possibility of using front and rear-wheel drive separately. This saves fuel.

But if you really need a 4x4 drive, then you can be sure that the car will not let you down. This is especially true for security. ATice car feels quite comfortable. At the same time, it cannot be said that the Astra Sports Tourer is designed for off-road driving. An obstacle to this will be a long wheelbase and a small ground clearance. Four-wheel drive is more designed to help the car in difficult starting conditions.

Opel Insignia Sports Tourer is quite difficult to meet in our country. In fact, the car can be called exotic. Yes, you can buy it in our country, but only on order. Its price is quite high for the Russian consumer. A driver with the kind of money that this car is being sold for will probably buy another car. Yes, Opel is good, yes, he is powerful, yes, he is handsome. But for this price you can buy a car of a more popular brand.
