Insignia’s stylish looks are complemented by
precision engineered engines and transmissions:
Turbo Diesel. Insignia’s two common rail direct
injection turbo diesel engines, in 130PS and 160PS
outputs, have been further refined to decrease
fuel consumption and CO2emissions without
compromising on power and driveability: the
6-speed manual versions benefit from the latest
Start/Stop technology. Our latest generation
turbocharger technology enables these remarkable
engines to generate maximum torque of 300Nm
(130PS version) and 350Nm (160PS) from only
1750rpm, with maximum power developed at only
4000rpm, to ensure efficient progress. A smooth-
shifting 6-speed automatic transmission is also
available with both engines for effortless driving,
featuring Active Select that allows you to choose
to change the gears sequentially.
Turbo Petrol. The 140PS turbo petrol engine utilises
Variable Valve Timing, a water cooled turbocharger
and intercooler to give smooth power throughout
the rev range, with 200Nm maximum torque
available from 1850-4900rpm, and maximum power
from 4900-6000rpm, giving seamless performance.
Start/Stop technology ensures fuel efficiency and
CO2s are kept in check. This engine is complemented
by a slick 6-speed manual transmission.
Turbo Diesel 4X4. Insignia also offers an intelligent
solution for those encountering slippery conditions
as we are increasingly witnessing in winter time: the
Adaptive 4X4 system coupled to our excellent 160PS
diesel engine. This system constantly monitors
driving conditions, smoothly directing drive to the
wheels that need it most in any circumstances: in
normal conditions, 95% of the power goes to the
front wheels, but more power is fed to the rear
wheels if the front loses grip, or while accelerating.
Additionally an electronically controlled Limited Slip
Differential (eLSD) optimises power transfer between
the rear wheels. Opel’s innovative FlexRide system,
which continually monitors and controls the
suspension, is standard with the 4X4 transmission,
meaning unrivalled traction and stability in all
driving conditions. Select Sport mode and drive is
proportioned 40:60 front:rear for a more dynamic
driving experience!
