New Opel Insignia Sports Tourer 2020 Review Interior Exterior

New Opel Insignia Sports Tourer 2020 Review Interior Exterior.

The all-new Opel Insignia Sports Tourer is in extremely good shape. Sporty and elegant, it is uncompromisingly spacious and offers exemplary safety just like a true flagship should. The second generation Insignia impresses with its breathtaking lines, a trunk volume that has been increased to 1,665 liters – over 130 liters more than the outgoing model – and high-tech solutions ranging from the trendsetting Opel IntelliLux LED® matrix headlights and ultra-modern driver assistance systems to the cool head up display. In addition, the Insignia comes with Opel-typical first-class connectivity with smartphone integration which now offers a new Opel OnStar feature – the Personal Assistant which allows Insignia occupants to book hotel rooms[1] and search for parking[2] via an OnStar Advisor. The new flagship is also the first car made in Rüsselsheim available with an eight-speed automatic transmission, a 360° camera and intelligent all-wheel drive with torque vectoring.

In addition, the new Opel Insignia Sports Tourer is up to 200 kilograms lighter than the outgoing model – depending on powertrain and trim. This was mainly made possible by the use of lightweight materials and efficient packaging. Combined with the lower seating position of the driver it results in a noticeable increase in driving dynamics – never before has a large station wagon from Rüsselsheim been so agile.

Order books for the Opel Insignia Sports Tourer have been open since February. The new Opel is appealing with an exemplary cost-performance ratio and customers can already enter the Insignia Sports Tourer world for €26,690 (RRP incl. VAT in Germany).

High-tech assistance systems: For more comfort and safety

The new Insignia Sports Tourer comes with the same leading technologies already seen in the Grand Sport sedan. Most notably that includes the next generation of the adaptive Opel IntelliLux LED® matrix light system. Features such as Lane Keep Assist with automatic steering correction increase safety even further. The new Insignia is the first Opel with an active hood. In case of a collision, the hood lifts up in milliseconds, thus increasing the distance to the engine and offering pedestrians improved protection.

Inside, the optional AGR-certified (Aktion Gesunder Rücken e. V. - Campaign for Healthier Backs) premium ergonomic seats with massage, ventilation and memory function ensure an even more comfortable ride. Also, the two outer rear seats are heated – just like the windscreen. The large panorama sunroof enables an unhindered view towards heaven. Obviously, Opel thought about comfortable and clean loading. The tailgate can be opened and closed by making a kicking motion under the rear bumper.

Emotional eye-catcher: Insignia Sports Tourer in Monza Concept skin

The new Insignia Grand Sport already takes many cues from the athletic Monza Concept but this is taken even further in the new generation Insignia Sports Tourer. Although the exterior dimensions have grown slightly to 4,986 millimeters, the newcomer looks much more athletic and agile. The 11 millimeters increased track, the prominent grille and the Monza Concept-inspired headlights all add to this perception. The car’s stance is also emphasized by the wheelbase, which has been extended by 92 millimeters to 2,829 millimeters, and a front overhang that has been reduced by 30 millimeters. The Opel blade starting in the front door and sweeping towards the rear helps carry the eye from front to back. The chrome window blade dynamically flows into the LED tail lamps and gives the ‘low’, only 1,500 millimeter tall Insignia Sports Tourer an even more athletic appearance. The silver roof rails (standard on all equipment levels) help stretch the car, make it look lower and emphasize the high-quality design.

The Insignia Sports Tourer’s kinship with the Monza Concept is especially apparent at the rear: the shape looks much lighter than before with the newcomer defined by clear lines. Together with the slim, slightly protruding LED taillights in double-wing design and tailpipes integrated into the rear apron/bumper, they help the rear end of the Opel flagship to make a strong impression. The high-tech look of the Monza Concept thus becomes reality.

Easy loader: Tailgate with an extra kick

The new Insignia Sports Tourer not only looks more elegant and sporty, it is also more practical. The overhang between bumper and trunk is reduced, thanks to the neatly designed tailgate, which also makes loading easier. In addition, the width between the wheel arches has increased, which makes it easier to transport bulky items such as a dog kennel. The same applies to the length of the trunk, which has grown by 97 millimeters to 2,005 millimeters with the backs of the rear seats folded. The new Insignia Sports Tourer thus offers a maximum trunk volume of 1,665 liters, over 130 liters more than its predecessor.
