Adaptive All Wheel Drive. Fit your Insignia with ‘active on demand’ 4x4 Adap-

tive All Wheel Drive (AWD) and you’ll enjoy increased driving stability in chal-

lenging conditions. AWD uses sensors to monitor the relative speed of the

wheels, then a sophisticated Torque Transfer Device automatically distributes

torque between the front and rear axle.

The heightened stability and traction of AWD are further enhanced by the elec-

tronic Limited Slip Differential that enables individual torque vectoring for the

rear wheels. Together, these technologies deliver faster acceleration and the

motorsport kick of genuine rear-wheel driving.

FLUID TORQUE TRANS-

FER. GRIP LIKE GLUE.

The new Insignia is a driver’s car with the engineering to fire real driving

passion. Powerful engines get the grip they deserve, especially in tandem

with 4x4 Adaptive All Wheel Drive (AWD) and the accompanying lowered

chassis. Sport and Cosmo drivers

can even go one better – with the option-

al SuperSport chassis package. It gives you the handling edge of the same

sports chassis featured on the Insignia OPC as well as its adrenaline-rich

high-performance (HiPer) front struts and top-flight Brembo mo torsport

brakes.

Adaptive All Wheel Drive

1. FlexRide Adaptive Damping Control. Every Insignia with AWD also comes

with Opel FlexRide technology. One touch of the Sport button changes the

whole driving dynamics of your Insignia – from ‘Normal’ or ‘Tour’ to ‘Sport’

and back again. Using Continuous Damping Control (CDC) technology,

FlexRide automatically adjusts the damper settings in real time to give you

excellent road holding. In ‘Tour’ mode, it chooses the best settings for gen-

tler, straight-line driving. Switch to ‘Sport’ mode and it instantly stiffens the

dampers and sharpens the response of the steering, accelerator and auto-

matic transmission (if fitted).

Available for Sport and Cosmo with AWD and selected engines.
