Innovative chassis technology for Vectra and Signum

Opel/Vauxhall Vectra and Signum move technically and stylistically refined into the new model year. The high-tech adaptive chassis system IDS Plus ( Interactive Driving System) with electronic damping control provides outstanding dynamics, comfort and safety.

Adaptive brake lights debut in the mid-size category in all Vectra and Signum as standard equipment. The system causes more intensive illumination of the brake lights when heavy braking occurs (above speeds of 10 km/h).

Active safety is further increased with optional automatic low beam head lights. With the help of two sensors in the windshield, the headlights are automatically turned on in tunnels, parking garages or as darkness approaches. When the car drives back into a brighter environment, ALC automatically turns them off.

A further innovation introduced in the Vectra family is the new generation of user-friendly infotainment systems already known from the new Astra.

A newly developed six-speed automatic transmission is also available for the 150 hp 1.9 CDTI engine .

The Signum has a fresh look and is even more elegant, with chrome front grille, darkened lamps and for many variants visible tailpipes.
