From the first days of production, the Opel Insignia car was one of the most popular in Europe, but the situation in Russia was completely different. If you look at the statistics of sales, then this car model took only 10th place in the ranking of the most popular foreign models of the D-class. According to reviews, "Opel Insignia-18" was originally characterized by problems with the interior. He was too cramped, because of which domestic drivers refused to buy it.
However, in September of this year, a new generation of Opel Insignia cars was presented to the public at the Frankfurt Motor Show. According to company management, the new product has become more solid in terms of configuration. However, not only this change was made for the machine. The design and technical specifications of Opel Insignia have also changed, which means that today we have a reason to talk about all these innovations.
Appearance
The design of the car has not undergone drastic changes. In order not to frighten buyers, the manufacturer only partially corrected the appearance of the car. So, the 2014 Opel Insignia lineup received a larger radiator grille and other lighting equipment. "Feed" now has a chrome plank. Otherwise, the exterior of the car remained the same. The body lines are just as fast and dynamic.
Salon
Engineers paid much more attention to the inside than to the exterior. Looking at the updated interior design, you 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 novelty became more understandable and at the same time did not lose its functionality.
The seats have become much more comfortable - there are new side support rollers. Also, in the front row of seats, engineers significantly expanded the range of adjustments.
Technical specifications
Opel Insignia, designed for the Russian market, is equipped with three gasoline engines and one diesel. A base engine with a volume of 1.8 liters and a capacity of 140 horsepower is considered basic. It works in tandem with a 6-speed manual transmission.
The average engine has a smaller working volume (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 speeds.
The senior unit with its volume of 2 liters develops a capacity of 249 “horses”. It is equipped only with an "automatic". Good technical characteristics. "Opel Insignia" with such an aggregate will definitely differ from other compact cars.
As for the diesel engine, it develops power of 163 “horses” and is aggregated by two transmissions - manual transmission and automatic transmission, depending on the type of drive. Here's the new advanced technical feature.
"Opel Insignia" and its cost
The starting price for the new model range of sedans is 797 thousand rubles. The most expensive equipment will cost customers 1 million 70 thousand rubles.
