Opel The Insignia now also updates the engine range with the whisper diesel already known from other models. The more fuel-efficient 1,6-liter unit in two expansion stages replaces the previous two-liter engines. The prices have been adjusted slightly: The diesel with 88 kW120 PS costs 26.670 Euro, the engine with 100 kW / 136 PS is available from 28.070 Euro.
The smaller of the two diesel engines accelerates the middle class in conjunction with the six-speed manual transmission in 11,9 seconds from zero to 100 km / h. 3,9 liters (104 grams CO2 / km) should consume the insignia in the standard cycle. The 100 kW / 136 PS diesel is even more fuel efficient with 3,8 liters (99 grams CO2 / km). In 10,9 seconds, the sedan spurts to 100 km / h, maximum 210 km / h in there, five more than the previous unit.
In the course of the engine change, the Insignia also upgraded in terms of connectivity: Firstly, with the new Navi 900 Intellilink can now integrate iPhone functions via Apple Carplay. On the other hand, the online assistant Onstar, which, among other things, provides Wi-Fi in the car, comes as standard from the Equipment Line Edition.
