  • 2013 Vauxhall Insignia Country Tourer – Price £25,349

    Vauxhall has announced the pricing of the 2013 Insignia Country Tourer. It is now available to order with prices starting from £25,349 OTR, which is up to £5,000 cheaper than its D-segment crossover rivals.

    2013 Vauxhall Insignia Country Tourer boasts all-wheel drive, higher ground clearance and tougher styling compared to the Sports Tourer model.

    The standard extras include bi-xenon adaptive front lighting, power tailgate and front and rear parking sensors. On top of this, Country Tourer Nav gets Navi 900 IntelliLink sat nav with 8-inch colour touch screen, multi-function touch-pad controller and an 8-inch digital instrument cluster as standard.

    Each model has a choice of two powerful 2.0 CDTi engines, including a 163HP with start/stop and a hot 195HP BiTurbo unit. The 163HP engine is available with either a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission, and the BiTurbo comes with the automatic gearbox only.

    “With competitive pricing and generous standard equipment levels, the Insignia Country Tourer looks set to shake up the D-segment crossover sector. The Insignia Country Tourer is perfect for a winter holiday, on snowy roads, or simply when the going gets tough. Even on urban roads its robust looks give it strong stand-out appeal.”, commented Stuart Harris, Vauxhall’s Head of Carline Brand

  • 2013 Opel Insignia OPC – 325HP and 435Nm

    Opel Insignia OPC facelift will be introduced at this year’s Frankfurt Motor Show. The performance touring car boasts all-wheel drive system, new refreshed look and modified chassis. The manufacturer will also exhibit the recently introduced Insignia Country Tourer.

    “The Insignia OPC dazzles with new radiance. With great attention to detail, our engineers have given it some decisive fine-tuning. This is evident in its design and in its even better driving performance. This puts the OPC squarely in the first league of mid-size series production sports cars.”, commented Michael Ableson, Vice President GME Engineering.

    The power is coming from a 2.8 liter V6 turbocharged petrol with 325HP (239 kW) and 435Nm (321 lb-ft) of torque. The engine is put on the road through 6-speed manual gearbox and AWD system featuring Haldex coupling and an electronic limited slip differential. 0-100 km/h in 6.0 seconds and a top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph). Opel mentions the unrestricted Insignia is capable of hitting a maximum speed of 270 km/h (168 mph).

    The cabin welcomes OPC drivers with pure motorsport ambience. Recaro performance seats, also optionally available in leather with a memory function, the OPC gearshift knob and a completely new main instrument panel and center console exude premium flair. Beyond basic information, drivers can see specific details like oil pressure and temperature, battery voltage, throttle position, brake power and the g-force resulting from lateral acceleration on the optional, 8” instrument readout display.
