Design and technical characteristics of Opel-Insignia -2014

The car "Opel-Insignia" from the firstdays of production was one of the most popular in Europe, but in Russia the situation was completely different. If you look at the statistics of sales, then this model car took only 10th place in the ranking of the most popular foreign models of the D-class. According to the reviews, "Opel-Insignia-18" was initially characterized by problems with the salon. It was too tight, because of what the domestic drivers refused to buy it.

However, in September this year,Frankfurt Motor Show was presented to the public a new generation of cars "Opel-Insignia". According to the company's management, the novelty has become more solid in terms of bundling. However, not only this change was made for the machine. The design and technical characteristics of Opel-Insignia have also changed, which means that today we have a reason to talk about all these innovations.

Appearance

The design of the car did not suffer cardinalchanges. In order not to frighten off the buyers, the manufacturer only partially corrected the appearance of the machine. So, the 2014-th model line of Opel-Insignia received a more extensive grille and other lighting equipment. Korma now has a chrome plank. In all other respects the exterior of the car remained the same. The body lines are as fast and dynamic.

Salon

The engineers gave much moreattention, rather than appearance. Looking at the updated interior design, you can see another design of the center console. Unlike previous generations of "Opel", which were characterized by an overloaded front panel with extra buttons, the novelty became more understandable and at the same time it did not lose its functionality.

Seats have become much more convenient - there are new rollers of lateral support. Also on the front row of seats, engineers significantly expanded the range of adjustments.

Technical specifications

"Opel-Insignia", intended for the Russianmarket, is equipped with three petrol engines and one diesel. The base motor is considered to have a volume of 1.8 liters and a capacity of 140 horsepower. He works in tandem with a 6-speed manual transmission.

The average motor has a smaller working volume (1.6liter), while its power is 170 horsepower. Among the transmissions, the buyer can choose either a 6-speed "automatic", or "mechanics" at the same speed.

Senior unit with its volume of 2 litersdevelops capacity in 249 "horses". It is completed only with "automatic". Not a bad technical characteristic. "Opel-Insignia" with such a unit will be exactly different against the background of other small cars.
