We were told those responsible for Opel Spain the best-selling Insignia has been the 2.0 CDTi 160 hp: More than 50 percent of sales has led the high diesel range, followed by CDTi 130 (30 percent) and finally the CDTI 110 hp. Easy to imagine that sales of petrol versions have been witness.

Curiously successful version Diesel 160 hp, when most of its rivals often find success in middle and low mechanical versions. In addition, high finishes They were also the most popular in the range Insignia, what follows that its impressive print has led the customer to configure a car to live up to those expectations.


Now all CDTi will carry a device serial Stop-Start and also Debuts new electric steering exclusively. On the other hand, the injection system evolves new piezo injectors capable of managing up to 5 injections per cycle. And with that, they tell us Opel, ostensibly is improved acoustic quality and quantity which marred their CDTi. We could not check in this first contact of the range 2012, but no doubt it will. But not only it has tried to improve the noise. These new techniques have gotten contributions reduce fuel consumption and emissions. If we stick to the successful 2.0 CDTi 160 hp, reduces its previous 4.9 l / 100 km average to 4.3 l / 100 km and step left115 g / km exhaust emissions, which is released to pay VRT and compensates for the price rise.

a new version Although the petrol versions will remain surely witness appears 1.4 Turbo Ecoflex, replacing the previous 1.8i atmospheric. There are other new features: the 2.0 Turbo 220 hp up to 250 in the 4×4 variants. And everyone can mount the device Stop-Start.

As a first step range, the new 1.4 Turbo Ecoflex It seemed very interesting. We’ve tried in Germany and 140 HP and 20.4 mkgavailable from 1,850 rpm, this version corresponds you with an easy, consistent and highly enjoyable drive. For those who want to regain the good feelings of a turbo petrol engine, worth giving a try. Later we will check actual consumption in our country, but I anticipate that we have moved at breakneck speeds (we’re talking 200 km / h) by Germany and combining an urban highway ride, travel on your computer we have seen a reasonable 8.5 liters of medium (official average of 5.7 l / 100 km). This 1.4 Turbo also benefits from the new Electric steering and stop-start system. The steering conveys a good touch, as we have assimilated hydraulic and feel dynamically contributes to Insignia very well established on the road and with a quick guide direction.

By the way, to roll free speed Germany It gives you another view of what should be a car. Many times you take the feeling on our roads that cars are more than enough power for dynamic speeds at which we move and elements such as active FlexRide the Badge amortizable is a little gadget. But in situations tested Insignia "German", Understand the usefulness of FlexRide. Poise and sense of monolithic tread Insignia at speeds prohibitory you explain the good work tuning behind.

Functional and safety equipment is also enriched in the range 2012. The frontal camera which recognizes the traffic signals now he plays more. It also incorporates a new feature that calculates the safety distance, we recommend proper and warns in case of danger of a frontal collision. He navigation system It can now be handled byvoice commands, like radio. And finally, new leather interior trim, new rims and blue Lexur that shades according to the incidence of light, give a touch of elegance to the already impressive if Insignia.

The prices are between 22,388 euros 1.4 Turbo 140 hp and the 37,137 euros Insignia OPC 325 hp.
