The new Insignia Grand Sport already takes many cues from the athletic Monza Concept but this is taken even further in the Insignia Sports Tourer. The newcomer looks much more athletic and agile. Its stance is also emphasized by the longer wheelbase, the reduced front overhang and the increased front and rear track. The Opel blade starting in the front door and sweeping towards the rear helps carry the eye from front to back. Directly inspired by one of the most iconic design cues of the Monza Concept, the chrome window blade dynamically flows into the LED tail lamps and visually lowers the only 1,500 millimeter tall Insignia Sports Tourer, giving it an even more athletic appearance. The silver roof rails (standard in all equipment levels) emphasize the high-quality design.

The Sports Tourer features new practical details: in order to make loading as easy as possible, the tailgate can be opened with a kick, without touching the car. In combination with “Keyless Open & Start” a simple small kicking motion under the rear bumper is enough to open the tailgate and a further kicking motion under the bumper will close it. The clever system can detect any obstruction and stops the mechanism in case of emergency. Then there is the fuel filler cap detail: Opel engineers decided to forgo the customary twist-off cap in the new Insignia generation. Now refueling is easier, faster and above all clean.

First-class: Top-level comfort and infotainment
The new Insignia generation also set standards in comfort. The best example: the premium ergonomic seats of the new generation certified by “Aktion Gesunder Rücken” (Campaign for Healthier Backs). They offer a unique combination of electric side bolster settings, massage, memory and ventilation functions in addition to the multiple standard adjustment possibilities. Passengers in the second row can also look forward to more comfort, because like the driver and front passenger seats, the two outer rear seats are also available with seat heating. Elsewhere, the heated windshield guarantees good visibility quickly on cold winter days while the heated steering wheel keeps the driver’s hands comfortably warm.

Great entertainment and outstanding connectivity – both typical for Opel – are ensured by the latest Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatible IntelliLink systems. And while the smartphone is seamlessly integrated into the vehicle’s infotainment it now can also be charged wirelessly. Naturally, the groundbreaking 24/7 connectivity and service assistant Opel OnStar is also on board, offering services ranging from Automatic Crash Response to Stolen Vehicle Assistance. A new Personal Assistant service will be launched together with the Insignia, enabling its occupants to ask Opel OnStar advisors, for example, to book a hotel room or find a parking space. Furthermore, the 4G LTE Wi-Fi Hotspot featured in the OnStar system allows all Insignia occupants to connect their devices to the net.
