· New concept: Sporty mid-size class sedan
· Wide choice: Three body variants, seven Euro 5 certified engines
· Leading technologies: Opel Eye, FlexRide, AFL+, Adaptive 4x4
With the launch of the new Insignia, Opel redefines the mid-size class. With its coupé-like roofline and strong design focus, the Opel Insignia brings much-needed panache to a mar-ket segment that is turning around as people search for a well-designed car that is fuel effi-cient but still fun to drive.
Mid-size cars currently account for about 10 percent of the European market, but it is an area that is expected to grow again as customers abandon their large SUVs in favor of se-dans and station wagons. Following the December arrival of notchback and hatchback variants, the dynamically styled Sports Tourer will enter showrooms in spring 2009.
“The Insignia sets new technological standards in its class, next to top aerodynamics and further innovative highlights like the adaptive FlexRide chassis, intelligent all-wheel-drive Adaptive 4x4, AFL+ lighting and the Opel Eye. Designed, engineered and built in Rüssels-heim, the Insignia also reinforces our commitment to our German headquarters,” says Hans Demant, Managing Director Adam Opel GmbH and Vice President GME Engineer-ing.
