WHERE
EXPECTATION
MEETS REALITY
The New Insignia is the bold successor to the car that attracted
over 40 industry awards. Inspired by its predecessor’s outstanding
credentials, this latest model raises the Insignia driving experience to a
whole new level. Subtle yet impactful exterior styling changes together
with a world best-in-class drag co-efficient of just Cd0.25* underline
the Insignia’s aerodynamic impression. Improved driver-focussed
technology make the Insignia exceptional to drive, while our new 4X4
Country Tourer model can tackle city streets and country tracks whilst
never looking out of place.

TECHNOLOGY IN A
FINER FORM
Connecting you to the world, our sophisticated multimedia
system brings your digital life into your car. SC models and
above feature Bluetooth®technology (including voice
activation), USB connectivity and digital radio. Also new
and positioned within the driver’s immediate line of vision,
the optional digital instrument cluster gives drivers
immediate access to all the information they require,
simply by glancing at the display.
In addition all models except S feature the Navi 900
IntelliLink with built-in satellite navigation, you can use
IntelliLink to select your favourite music and make calls
at the touch of the screen or swipe of our first ever in-car
touch-pad facility. You can also personalise the home
screen – putting you fully in control of your driving and
entertainment environment.
Quality time begins every time you shut the door. The
Insignia’s interior comfortably exceeds all expectations.
The facia trims and seats are carefully tailored and
textured in a rich variety of handpicked materials. When
it comes to comfort, multi-adjustable ergonomic front
seat options provide unparalleled levels of support, while
electronic climate control lets you create the perfect
climate (S models and above). The driver-focussed
environment is also enhanced by a sweeping instrument
panel that flows seamlessly into the door panels.

ENGINEERED TO
MOVE MILES
Supreme efficiency. Maximum performance. Appealing to
the heart as well as the head, the new Insignia engines
provide a dynamic driving experience without sacrificing
fuel economy and tax-efficiency. The new 140PS 2.0CDTi
ecoFLEX turbo diesel engine epitomises this belief with
class-leading CO2 emissions from just 99g/km. Optional
FlexRide, the fully adaptable chassis control system, adapts
to the driving situation and allows you to choose from three
distinct driving modes. Sport, for a hands-on agile feel;
Tour for a softer, more cosseted ride for longer journeys
and Normal, which delivers a naturally well-balanced ride.
For business users, New Insignia combines highly competitive
Whole Life Costs – comprising excellent fuel economy, lower
CO2 emissions, with an impressive range of up to 1891 kilometres.

THE END OF THE END
OF THE ROAD
When tarmac turns to turf, the Country Tourer is ready. A powerful 4X4,
it’s built to tackle both urban and rural environments alike. The increased
ground clearance and all-round tough appearance add to the Country
Tourer’s appeal. The ride and handling are equally impressive thanks to
the state-of-the-art electronically controlled, adaptive 4X4 drivetrain
which, combined with an electronic limited-slip differential and the
highly responsive FlexRide, offer improved handling and stability in all
conditions. Power comes from a highly efficient 2.0CDTi turbo-diesel
engine with 163PS and up to 350Nm of torque – more than enough to
tackle big off-road adventures and long road trips, alike.

14|Adaptive Forward Lighting Plus
HEADLIGHTS WITH
FORESIGHT

|15
The New Insignia can be equipped with the very latest bi-xenon Adaptive Forward Lighting Plus
(AFL+) headlight system as an option. This uses a front-mounted camera, rain sensor and steering
angle input to improve visibility and safety by automatically adjusting the strength of your
headlights to suit different speeds, manoeuvres, weather conditions and traffic situations.
Pedestrian area light. Illuminates potential hazards
with a wider spread of light – an extra eight degrees
left and right.
Adverse weather light. Wiper or rain sensor activated
for better vision in bad weather conditions.
Town light. Spreads the beam of light wider and lower.
Activated by vehicle speed together with street lighting.
High beam assist. Automatically switches from high to
low beam as it detects vehicles ahead or oncoming. In
addition, high beam boosts the range and brightness
of your headlights by up to 15%.
Country road light. Wider spread and brighter light
than normal low beam. 70-metre range, without dazzle.
Dynamic curve light. Activated by steering angle
and speed, the headlights swivel up to 15 degrees
into the bend (any speed).
Motorway light. 140-metre range, higher and brighter
than normal low beam, without dazzle.
Static cornering light. Spreads light 90 degrees to
the left or right to help you see better around corners
(also when reversing).

INTELLIGENCE
ON BOARD
Technology that looks out for you. Modern driving conditions place unique demands on the driver. With this in mind, New Insignia
offers a comprehensive array of assistive technology options – designed to keep you fully in control, whatever the situation. Adaptive
cruise control with speed limiter function helps maintain a set distance to the car ahead. In addition to Opel’s front camera system,
New Insignia breaks fresh ground with three additional radar-based systems: lane change alert, side blind spot alert and rear cross
traffic alert. All three systems are available as part of the optional Park and Go Technology Pack.
Rear cross traffic alert. As you reverse the car in a tricky parking situation
this system detects vehicles approaching from the rear and side of your
New Insignia. The car’s speakers then emit an audible warning signal on
the relevant side of the car while an icon appears on one side of the
centre console display.
Lane change alert. This new feature monitors the lanes either side of your
vehicle. If you indicate to change lanes, a symbol flashes in the
appropriate door mirror to warn of any fast-approaching vehicles you
may not have seen.
Adaptive cruise control with forward collision alert and collision
imminent braking. Available in conjunction with front camera system, is
an advanced, proactive version of conventional cruise control for
preventing bumper-to-bumper collisions in moving traffic. Active above
walking speeds, it uses a powerful radar sensor to maintain your chosen
distance to the vehicle in front by controlling the accelerator and brakes
automatically. On automatic models it can even stop and assist you in
pulling away in bumper-to-bumper traffic. The system also incorporates
forward collision alert with integrated collision imminent braking. If you
approach slower-moving vehicles too fast, the system triggers visual and
audible warnings and gently applies the brakes – and makes them more
sensitive to increase the strength of your braking.

|17
Side blind spot alert. This system helps prevent a potential collision with a
vehicle in the lane either side of the car by continuously monitoring both
blind spots. If a vehicle enters one of those blind spots, a warning light
flashes in the relevant door mirror. If you indicate to change lanes, a
warning sound alerts you to the potential danger.
Front Camera System
1. Traffic sign recognition. This clever feature makes sure you’re constantly made aware of speed limits, even temporary ones.
It continually monitors road signs, and gives you a warning if you unintentionally stray over the limit. It can even read and display
motorway electronic signs related to speed limits like rain or snow warnings.
Lane departure warning. This system uses the front camera system to recognise lane marking lines. If the vehicle leaves its lane without
you signalling, an audible warning sound is given. This helps prevent potential accidents and makes you aware of your concentration
levels or tiredness.
Following Distance Indication (FDI) and Forward Collision Alert (FCA). FDI constantly shows the distance (in seconds) to the leading
vehicle on the instrument panel, helping you to maintain a safe distance. In addition, FCA warns you visually and audibly if you
approach a slower-moving vehicle too closely. All of these features are available as part of the front camera system, optional at extra
cost on all New Insignia models.

1. Advanced park assist. This clever system will not only detect a suitably sized
parking space, but with the help of graphics and acoustic signals it will tell you
how far backwards and forwards to drive and even show you how far to turn the
wheel. Simply work the accelerator, choose first or reverse gear, and steer. The
result, perfect parallel parking every time whilst staying in complete control.
2. Rear-view camera. Mounted above the number plate. The optional rear-view
camera provides a clear view of the area behind the car. A high-res display
and scaled grid provide a useful point of reference when reversing to make
parking easier.
SAFETY FIRST, SECOND
AND THIRD
Every New Insignia model is more than capable of protecting you and your
family in the event of an emergency. A number of carefully positioned airbags
instantly react for your protection. While aids like steering wheel mounted controls
and optional advanced park assist proactively help prevent accidents to make
driving as comfortable, convenient and safe as possible.
5 stars for safety. The Insignia was
awarded the maximum possible NCAP
5-star safety rating. The award takes
into account four crucial aspects of
overall safety: adult and child protection
features such as full airbag coverage or
ISOFIX, pedestrian safety and safety
assistive technologies.

POWER WITHOUT
COMPROMISE
Supreme efficiency, maximum performance. Appealing to the heart as well as the head, New
Insignia engines provide conclusive proof that you can enjoy a dynamic driving experience
