The Opel-Insignia passenger car was one of the most popular in Europe from the first days of production, but in Russia the situation was completely different. If you look at the sales statistics, then this car model took only 10th place in the ranking of the most popular foreign D-class models. According to the reviews, the Opel Insignia-18 was initially characterized by problems with the interior. It was too tight, which is why domestic drivers refused to buy it.
However, in September of this year, a new generation of Opel Insignia cars was presented to the public as part of the Frankfurt Motor Show. According to the company's management, the novelty has become more solid in terms of configurations. However, not only this change was made for the car. The design and technical characteristics of the Opel Insignia also changed, andso today we have a reason to talk about all these innovations.
Appearance
The design of the car has not undergone major changes. In order not to frighten off buyers, the manufacturer only partially corrected the appearance of the car. So, the 2014 model range of Opel Insignia received a more voluminous radiator grille and other lighting equipment. "Feed" now has a chrome bar. The rest of the appearance of the car remained the same. The body lines are just as fast and dynamic.
Salon
The engineers paid much more attention to the interior than to the exterior. Looking at the updated interior design, one can see a different design of the center console. Unlike previous generations of Opel, which were characterized by a front panel overloaded with extra buttons, the new product has become more understandable and at the same time has not lost its functionality.
The seats have become much more comfortable - there are new side support rollers. Also on the front row of seats, engineers have significantly expanded the range of adjustments.
Specifications
Opel-Insignia, intended for the Russian market, is equipped with three petrol engines and one diesel. The base engine is considered to have a volume of 1.8 liters and a power of 140 horsepower. It works in tandem with a 6-speed manual transmission.
The medium engine has a smaller displacement (1.6 liters), while its power is 170 horsepower. Among the transmissions, the buyer can choose either a 6-speed "automatic" or"mechanics" at the same speed.
The older unit, with its volume of 2 liters, develops a capacity of 249 "horses". It is completed only with "automatic". Good technical specification. "Opel-Insignia" with such a unit will definitely differ from other small cars.
As for the diesel, it develops a power of 163 "horses" and is aggregated by two transmissions - manual transmission and automatic transmission, depending on the type of drive. Here is such an advanced technical characteristic of the novelty.
Opel Insignia and its cost
The starting price for the new range of sedans is 797 thousand rubles. The most expensive equipment will cost customers 1 million 70 thousand rubles.
