It was designed to add emotion back into the Opel and Vauxhall brands."Įchoing the exterior design, the shapes and surfaces of the interior also articulate this promise of exciting mobility and are crafted with high quality materials. This makes the Opel Insignia muscular, sporty, yet very elegant and graceful. "We have created beautiful, sculptural, fluid shapes, which are accented by crisp intersecting lines. Our philosophy behind the new Insignia is 'sculptural artistry meets German precision,'" says Mark Adams, Vice President of Design for GM Europe.
"We have redefined our design vocabulary. The dynamic tapered shape of the wing lighting signature is another Opel Insignia DNA detail. Other unmistakable design elements include a distinctive radiator grille with a newly-designed Opel emblem as well as sweeping front and rear light forms. Like the signature crease on the hood, a blade form has been chiseled into the side, signposting a styling element that becomes another defining characteristic of future Opel cars. The future ecoFLEX version designed to produce low CO2 emissions also will benefit from further developments. These include the front bumper corners, trunk lid spoiler edge, the exterior mirror's wing form and the profiled rear axle's lower control arm. In addition to its slipstream body shape and sporty roofline, the Opel Insignia boasts numerous details that were fine-tuned for even better aerodynamic performance. The Insignia's fuel consumption and driving dynamics benefit from its sleek, flowing styling which was optimized during more than 650 hours in the wind tunnel. With a drag coefficient of 0.27, the Opel Insignia is more streamlined than competitors with underbody shields. Just remember the spectacular 1990 Calibra and its Cd of 0.26. Opel has a long successful tradition of building very aerodynamic cars.
The designers created a powerfully sculpted shape for the body and used the same design cues in the interior, giving the Insignia a premium feel. Both the notch and hatchback of Opel's new car feature a flowing, muscular silhouette with a sporty roofline. The design of the new Opel Insignia signals a paradigm shift for Opel by adding emotion back to the brand. Powerfully Sculpted Lines Give Opel Insignia its Dynamic Look All combinations compare competitively in CO2 emissions. They offer outputs spanning from 110 to 160 hp and excellent torque values ranging from 260 to 350 Nm. The three new direct-injection turbo-diesels exclusively developed for the Opel Insignia feature displacement of 2.0 liters. The four gasoline engines range from a four-cylinder 115 hp unit to a V6 with 260 hp.
