Opel's new Insignia sets high standards

Thu, Oct 24, 2013

The new Opel Insignia, which arrives early next month, is much more than a refreshed mid-generation model. It delivers a level of engineering efficiency and a couple of other class-leading attributes that propels the Insignia past its major rivals, such as the Ford Mondeo and Volkswagen Passat, both of which have new model replacements arriving in the next 15 months.

The biggest change is highlighted by the new 2.0-litre turbo diesel engine with start/stop, which sees a power increase from 130PS to 140PS in the base-line unit. And at the same time the CO2 emissions drop to a remarkable 99g/km, with annual road tax of €180. In ideal conditions, fuel consumption falls to an incredible 3.7l/100km (76 mpg), which makes it the most efficient engine in its class. Based on that fuel economy, Opel says this new version has a range of 1891 kilometres (or 1,175 miles). Staying with the 2.0-litre engine, the higher output version gains 3PS to 163PS with no increase in fuel consumption or emissions.
