Rüsselsheim, 7. September 2017

That was kind of to be expected. A few weeks ago Opel already showed the hatchback Version of the Insignia GSi. The Combi-... sorry ... the Sports-Tourer version of the new middle class model would follow, was as safe as the Amen in the Church. So please be nice, here it is: The new Opel Insignia GSi Sports Tourer. Bright red, with thicker skirts, roof spoiler and a brand-new 2.0-Liter Biturbo Diesel under the hood.

New Diesel delivery 480 Newton meters

The diesel develops 210 HP at 4,000 tours and shows off from just 1,500 Rpm with a maximum torque of 480 Newton meters. Thus it is, according to Opel, in a rather leisurely 7.9 seconds from 0-100 km/h, the maximum speed is 231 km/h. The standard consumption is 7.3 liters. More forward Forschheit urge? The 260-HP turbocharged gasoline engine you get in the GSi-combined, of course. He makes the 0-100 km/h in 7.5 seconds and manages to 245 km/h top. All this at a fuel consumption of 8.7 liters.

The ambitious dad may come with his family Transporter now so even a little cross. All this, as before, with 560 to 1.665 litres of boot space.
