Read completelyOpel Insignia I generation restyling 2013-present
No wonder all Opel fans were so looking forward to the restyling flagship sedan- Insignia. No one could have imagined that the Germans would treat the matter with such zeal.
Externally, the car has become squat and more powerful. New, elegant headlights and foglights have appeared, the wedge-shaped profile of the model can now be confused with BMW, and the rear has noticeably changed. In general, the update was only beneficial.
What about the engines? It's worth getting to know them better.
Insignia 1.8MT
The first from the end of the list is the usual naturally aspirated petrol engine, with a volume of 1.8 liters. Its power is 140 hp. s., coupled with 175 Nm of torque. 11.5 seconds to 100 km/h is not impressive. With such a motor prestigious sedan will always trail at the end, looking at faster competitors. It is justified only by the price - 797,000 rubles.
Insignia 1.6 Turbo MT/AT
Therefore, an overpayment of 168,000 rubles. for a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine is more than reasonable, especially since it also includes an automatic transmission, as well as an additional package of options. This unit is noticeably more powerful - 170 “horses” and 260 Nm of torque. He accelerates faster - a little less than 10 seconds to a hundred, but you can’t call him a racer. However, in terms of dynamics, traction and cost, this engine is optimal.
Insignia 2.0 Turbo AT 4x4
Real Schumachers will surely like the 2-liter, in-line turbocharged petrol engine. With such an engine (249 hp of power and 400 Nm of thrust), you can easily stay ahead of the flow and not worry about the lack of torque when overtaking. You can exchange 100 cents on it in 7.7 seconds. (and this is with all-wheel drive).
Insignia 2.0 CDTI MT/AT
In addition to gasoline engines, 2 diesel engines are also available. They are almost identical in power - 160 and 163 hp. s., and in terms of torque they are equal - 350 Nm per “brother”. Apart from the 3 “horses”, the only difference is in the drive - the 163-horsepower engine has a full one. Acceleration to hundreds takes from 9.5 to 10.5 seconds. In addition, they are surprisingly economical - from 4.3 to 5.6 liters of fuel per hundred.
For engines of 1.8 and 1.6 liters, along with a 2-liter diesel engine, both a manual transmission (the only one possible for a 1.8-liter engine) and an automatic transmission are available. Both have 6 steps. But all-wheel drive versions can only be purchased with automatic transmission.

Comfort in the Opel Insignia
The engineers also did a great job on the suspension - the restyled Insignia makes its way over asphalt imperfections with cat-like softness, and also withstands impacts on large potholes. Overall comfort is excellent.
Salon The Insignia is ranked in the highest category. Original design, luxurious finishing materials, German assembly, generous equipment - as befits an executive sedan.
Some of the buttons from the center console disappeared, but only to appear on the steering wheel. Both the instrument panel and the huge display in the center of the dashboard are simply superb to read. There's plenty of room in the back, and the front seats provide excellent body support in tight corners.
The basic versions are not rich - there is no “climate”, nor most of the electronic assistants, and the multimedia is not encouraging. Well, you have to pay for all the joys, and already for 1,000,000 rubles. You can buy a car with a 1.6T engine and automatic transmission in a decent configuration.

Insignia replaced the Vectra in the middle class and surpassed its predecessor in all respects. Insignia is absolutely new level quality, design and technology. Initially, the car was offered only with a sedan body; a little later a hatchback and station wagon appeared.
The car looks solid and at the same time fast and aggressive. Smooth curves, harmonious lines and a falling roof line emphasize the dynamic appearance of the car. Speakers wheel arches give the car a muscular, but at the same time graceful look. Expressive headlights and a solid radiator grille form a single dynamic structure, emphasizing the uniqueness of the body shape. The developers of the Opel Insignia have made a lot of effort to reduce aerodynamic drag (the coefficient is Cd=0.27) and the noise level from air flows when the car is moving. The complex cascading design of the hood creates a unique play of light and shadow and emphasizes the dynamism and emotionality of the body. And the characteristic wing-shaped headlights make this car unique in its own way.
In addition to the sporty exterior design, the car has a class-leading interior. The car is offered in three trim options. The interior of the Elegance package is trimmed with dark brown plastic with titanium-look overlays with an impressive mesh texture. Sport version received black plastic and chairs covered with “non-slip” grosgrain fabric. In addition, this set is distinguished by overlays painted to resemble piano lacquer. The top-spec Cosmo can be identified by its wooden inserts and combined leather/fabric trim.
The excellent basic equipment can be complemented by a wide range of new systems: the Opel Eye electronic assistant, as well as Adaptive Forward Lightning (headlight turning radius - 15 degrees, additional lights- 90 degrees). With the light of its headlights, the Insignia performs real miracles. They can shine both as a low beam and as a high beam, and in seven more different modes. To avoid blinding oncoming drivers, take a better look at the side of the road country road, illuminate a turn or switch to city mode, the driver does not need to do anything. Several sensors and a small video camera hung on the interior rearview mirror will transmit the necessary data to the powerful processor, and the computer itself will select the required operating mode xenon headlights. The same camera constantly transmits an image of the road and traffic conditions to a computer, which, by processing the video image, is able to isolate clean and easily readable traffic signs and road markings from it. The car will inform the driver about the identified signs with pictograms on the dashboard, and if the driver violates the instructions, Insignia will remind you of the error with an audible signal.
The standard version is equipped with a 1.6-liter gasoline “four” with a power of 115 hp. The next stage is a 1.8 l/140 hp engine. Next come two turbo engines – 1.6 l/180 hp. and 2.0 l/220 hp. The top-end for the Insignia was the 2.8-liter V8 Turbo with 260 hp. Presented in the line power units and diesels: 2.0 l/110 hp, 2.0 l/130 hp and 2.0 l./160 hp. All engines meet Euro-5 standards. In the basic version, the model is equipped with a six-speed manual transmission. A six-speed automatic is an option.
Insignia also has a modification with all-wheel drive ( basic version comes with front-wheel drive), where torque is transmitted to the rear axle by the Haldex4 system. On all-wheel drive versions, the FlexRide system with dynamic stabilization (AST) is integrated into the car's chassis, which forces the car to adapt to changing driving conditions and allows the driver to adjust the characteristics of the suspension and other systems from hard sport settings to soft comfortable ones.
Opel Insignia scored the maximum number of points during the tests and received the title of the most safe car based on the results of annual crash tests according to the EuroNCAP system.
The official presentation of the updated Opel Insignia took place at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show. The car is presented in three versions - a four-door sedan, five-door hatchback and the Insignia Sports Tourer station wagon. German designers carried out a delicate restyling, giving the car a more modern, solid and stylish look.
There were no fundamental changes in the appearance of the model. The headlights with LED filling have narrowed - the stylish and complex geometric pattern in the depths of the headlights looks original. The radiator grille has become wider and has lost the chrome strips - now they are glossy black. Front bumper, having become larger, acquired round foglights on black inserts with exquisite chrome corners, a solid aerodynamic body kit. Opel designers claim that the minimum drag coefficient they managed to achieve in the updated car is an impressive 0.25.
The stern of the updated Insignia has acquired a new massive bumper and original lampshades with LED lamps and a branded chrome trim. The rear lights of the station wagon, despite their simplicity and compactness, look stylish. But the aft lighting equipment of the sedan is complemented by a chrome strip.
The facelift did not affect dimensions body For the sedan and hatchback, the dimensions are 4830 mm long, 1856 mm (with exterior mirrors 2084 mm) wide, 1498 mm high, 2737 mm wheelbase. The 2014 Insignia Sports Tourer station wagon is larger: 4908 mm long, 1856 mm wide, 1520 mm high, with a 2737 mm wheelbase. Ground clearance(clearance) of Insignia versions for the Russian market is 160 mm.
For coloring Opel bodies The 2014 Insignia is offered in twelve enamel options: base - Summit White (white) and Royal Blue (blue), metallics - Sovereign Silver (light silver), Silver Lake (dark silver), Magnetic Silver (silver), Luxor (dark silver). blue), Mahogany (dark brown), Carbon Flash (black), Power Red (diamond red), mother of pearl - Waterworld (dark blue), Asteroid Gray (asteroid gray), Mercure Red (purple-red).
Depending on the configuration, the car is equipped with tires ranging from modest 215/60 R16 or 225/55 R17 on steel wheels of 16-17 radius, to low-profile 245/45 R18 and 245/40 R19 on light alloy wheels of 18-19 sizes. The charged version of the Opel Insignia OPC rests on the ground with 245/35 R20 wheels with R20 forged alloy wheels.
A station wagon has appeared in the line off-road called Country Tourer. This modification differs from the regular Insignia by increased ground clearance by 20 mm to 180 mm and all-wheel drive, paintwork All-round protection is provided by black plastic linings, which also give the car a more “all-terrain” appearance.
The interior of the updated Opel Insignia has also changed quite significantly, this fact mainly concerns the front part of the cabin. The car is equipped with a new multifunctional steering wheel with a rim cut from the bottom, the instrument and front panels have been completely redesigned, and the configuration of the center console has changed. If earlier many complained about the clutter of elements, then the Insignia 2014 no longer has this drawback: all the elements are located so that the instruments are in sight, and there is no feeling of compressed space.
The abundance of buttons was replaced with two 8-inch color touch monitors. The first one is installed in the instrument cluster and provides an excellent picture; great amount information ranging from speedometer and tachometer radii to bot computer information, settings, auxiliary functions and images of the navigator.
By the way, navigation system has changed and is now included in the basic package. The picture has become more informative, a display of traffic lanes and lane divisions has appeared, and signs to exits have become clearer.
The second touch screen is located on the center console. He is responsible for settings of the multimedia system with voice control, air conditioning, displaying navigator maps and images from the rear view camera. The climate control control unit is characterized by minimalist buttons and ease of operation.
It's just a pity that such a dashboard and center console Available only in the most saturated trim levels. The basic version offers the classic three “wells”, in the middle versions price category a 4.2-inch on-board computer display is installed.
It is now possible to order traffic sign recognition and traffic monitoring systems as an option. dead zones(with its help it was possible to minimize the problem of poor visibility in small side mirrors) and lane keeping. The new cruise control, operating at speeds of up to 180 km/h, can completely stop and then accelerate the car. The rear view camera, which was not previously available in any configuration, completes the picture.
The luggage compartment of the Opel Insignia Sports Tourer station wagon can accommodate from 540 to 1530 liters of cargo, depending on the position of the second row seats. The five-door Opel Insignia Hatchback is capable of taking on board from 530 to 1470 liters. The trunk of the sedan has the most modest capabilities from 500 to 1015 liters.
The suspension was modified, new levers and springs were installed, and the shock absorbers were retuned. In versions with FlexRide adaptive suspension, the control program was modified. The handling of the car has improved significantly, the steering has become more informative - there is still a hydraulic booster, but steering column and the rack have been modified.
New diesel and gasoline engines appeared under the hood. New Opel diesel The Insignia 2.0 CDTI, depending on the degree of boost, produces 120 or 140 hp, the engine is equipped with a start-stop system and, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission, consumes only 3.7 liters of fuel when driving in mixed mode. More on Russian market A 2.0-liter unit with 163 hp is supplied. The top diesel is now 2.0 BiTurbo CDTI (195 hp and 400 Nm of torque).
New petrol turbocharged engine 1.6 liter capacity produces 170 hp. at 260 Nm. The 2.0-liter gasoline engine after modification became 30 hp. more powerful - 250 hp. With. and 400 Nm of torque. The engines are equipped with a start-stop system and are paired with a 6-speed manual transmission or an automatic 6-speed automatic transmission. We hasten to clarify that the most powerful gasoline engine for the Opel Insignia OPC 2.8 V6 Turbo (325 hp) will remain in the production program.
The basic equipment of the Opel Insignia 2014 is equipped with an air conditioning system, an audio system with a color LCD screen and a USB interface, headlight washers, and heated seats. This car also has other advantages: adjustable rear-view mirrors, a stabilization system and crankcase protection.
