Paris preview: Opel Insignia Sports Tourer

August 15th 2008 05:15

Opel has announced the Insignia Sports Tourer will premiere at the upcoming Paris Motor Show in October. The station wagon variant of the highly anticipated Insignia sedan and hatchback features unique sheetmetal from the B-pillars and back.

While the Insignia station wagon retains an identical wheelbase of 2.74 metres with the sedan models, the luggage compartment now offers a sizable volume of 540 litres courtesy of an increase in the overall length (80 mm) of the vehicle to 4.91 metres.

The Sports Tourer will go on sale in European markets in 2009 with a choice of seven different powerplants - alongside the existing line-up of three petrol and two diesel units, a new turbo and turbo diesel will make its debut in this variant.

Available with all-wheel or front-wheel drive and a choice of manual or automatic six-speed transmissions, the Opel Insignia Sports Tourer will be appealing to customers for both its design and variety.

Opel Insignia interior images revealed

June 6th 2008 00:15

Opel, the European arm of General Motors, have unveiled a new gallery featuring interior shots of the all-new Insignia sedan for the first time and the first impressions are very positive.

The futuristic cabin boasts chronometer-inspired instruments, use of high-quality fabrics and materials, and a unique instrument amber-coloured lighting system that is attractive and easy to read for the driver. The wrap-around interior should give the driver and occupants a cocooned feeling while certain design features such as the grab handles mirrors the exterior's blade styling cues.

A special highlight of the Insignia instrument lighting is that it switches from an illuminated white to illuminated red when 'sport' mode is activated. Other highlights include multi-adjustable seats and armrests a multi-use storage box and MP3 connectivity.

The Official Opel Press Release:

PREMIUM FEEL AND STUNNING DESIGN DEFINE NEW INSIGNIA'S INTERIOR

- First official shots of new Insignia's interior
- Chronometer-inspired instruments
- Use of high quality fabrics and materials

These are the very first official shots of the soon-to-be-launched Insignia's interior, showing the immense attention to detail Vauxhall's designers have lavished on the car's cabin. Highlights include chronometer-inspired instruments, use of high-quality fabrics and materials, and a unique instrument lighting system.

First impression is of Insignia's bold, wrap around interior, dominated by the signature 'wing' that flows from the front instrument panel and dives into the door panels. The surfaces from the exterior's 'blade' feature are echoed in the shape of the interior grab handle, where the bright accent material sweeps dramatically into the door armrest.

The cabin's interior lighting gives Insignia a unique night-time appearance. Vauxhall's designers have added a warm amber-coloured ambient light to enhance the night driving environment. The instrument cluster is illuminated white, but on pressing the 'Sport' button, the lighting turns red to match the surrounding illumination.

"This is a paradigm shift for Vauxhall," says John Puskar, Executive Director of Interior Design at GM Europe. "We wanted to create interior environments for all our future vehicles that are warm, inviting and sporty. The Insignia is the first evidence of this philosophy."

Cabin practicality will also raise the bar in Insignia's market sector. The centre console offers flexibility and intelligent design solutions, such as a space-liberating e-brake and separate multi-function control on certain models. Both the steering wheel and front seats have a huge range of adjustability to suit all shapes and sizes, while adjustable armrests, ergonomically placed controls, a multi-use storage box and MP3 connectivity will reinforce Insignia's appeal to private and business drivers.

"Every detail was meticulously thought through," says Jochen Werner, Insignia's Assistant Chief Interior Designer. "We even tipped the infotainment centre at a 30 degree angle to allow the centre console to flow and give the car's cabin a greater feeling of spaciousness."

Many of Insignia's interior design features will provide the DNA for future Vauxhall designs. Variations on sculptural artistry – the wing, flowing sculptural forms and a sporty dynamic environment – will be used moving forward, as Vauxhall refines and evolves its new-found design language.

Geneva Preview: Opel Tigra TwinTop 'Illusion'

February 27th 2008 23:30

Soft-top convertibles are great for open top driving but pose enough concerns at other times for manufacturers to opt for a hard-top, a trend created by the first generation Mercedes-Benz SLK-class and copied by everything from a Daihatsu (Copen) to a BMW (3-series
