It takes only 5 years in the market, has become a bestseller and has already had two updates. The latter, recently released, has been very profound. And, the highly publicized introduction of new technology and entertainment systems, the new Opel Insignia adds a record. With a Cx of 0.25 becomes the saloon 5 more aerodynamic doors of the world.

There is data in the automotive industry often go unnoticed. Or they do not know how to communicate, or we fail to convey. New Opel Insignia, you just hit the market, it has talked a lot in the last month. Its advanced New infotainment systems, its future applications and wireless internet, new diesel engines and gasoline, and even the renewal of up to 60 percent of suspension components, which they have significantly improved their behavior … until the point of being almost more a change of generation. But little has been said about aerodynamics, and that Opel has achieved significant levels.

With certain modifications and enough background work, engineers brand General Motors have achieved a body more aerodynamic; Thus, with the new value of 0.25 in the air penetration coefficient, Opel Insignia sedan is already 5 more aerodynamic doors to the world, while the 0.28 achieved in the family variant Sports Tourer also are among the best on the market in its category.

Aerodynamic optimization of the new Opel Insignia begins a new and completo panelised the underbody, continues with the introduction of a new wider side edge in the front spoiler and specific housings taillights, designed to improve air flow separation. A spoiler integrated into the trunk lid also improves air resistance.

But undoubtedly one of the most important elements which premieres new Insignia is a front active shutter. Rides in versions ecological EcoFlex, also accompanied by Stop / Start, developments in longer transmission and low-friction tires. If the air entering the front grill for cooling the engine usually amount to 8% of the total coefficient of the vehicle, this element reduces the effect, automatically closing the grill to prevent the air entering generate turbulence. Cold start, adds the additional advantage that the engine becomes faster operation, whereas when the car needs more flow for cooling, the shutter also automatically opens.

All these improvements contribute obviously to reduce consumption levels and emissions CO2. And it is important to understand the good data efficiently obtained by the new Opel Insignia part. In fact, your engine Diesel 2.0 CDTI, 120 and 140 hp, They have officially gotten homologated only 3.7 l / 100 km consumption, with emissions of 99 g / km of CO2 which place him as the most efficient in its class and the A + obtained in Germany. In gasoline, the figures are also very good, with the new 1.4 turbo engine direct injection and regulatory compliance and consuming Euro6 only 5.2 l / 100 km on average.
