A bold identity Muscular but curvaceous. Smooth yet sculpted. The bold grille and a flowing, coupé-like silhouette – for both saloon and hatchback – are set off by unique signature lights.
A dynamic drive Insignia is built for a dynamic drive. With technology that can adapt chassis response to changing driving situations. Engine power and efficiency is a given.
A stunning interpretation Same bold identity and stimulating driving experience. Infused with innovation and forward-thinking technology. The sleek Insignia Sports Tourer perfectly complements its dynamic hatchback and saloon counterparts.
A premium feel Supreme levels of interior style and quality. With obsessive attention to detail and intuitive ergonomics that put you in total control.
A total comfort zone Space and comfort for every passenger. Smart features, high quality materials and premium interior décor for ultimate style.
Innovative technology Insignia is designed to make life easier with innovative technology that can turn the everyday into the extraordinary. Intelligent lighting for different conditions. A driving feel to suit your mood. Maximum traction whatever the conditions. There’s a lot to discover.
Intelligent Adaptive Forward Lighting (AFL). Insignia’s Intelligent AFL headlights change their pattern to suit the location and the weather. Sensing where you need the light most, they help you see around corners and even dip automatically when something is coming the other way. And you can also adjust the system for European driving. Pedestrian area light (up to 20mph). Wider spread of light (an extra eight degrees left and right) illuminates potential hazards. Town light (20 – 35mph).
Safety Safety is always a top priority for Vauxhall. You wouldn’t expect it any other way. In the Insignia, it starts with an optimised body structure that protects you and your fellow passengers in every kind of impact situation. And extends to the latest restraint technology – double pretensioned front seatbelts, pedal release system, side-impact protection beams, active-safety front seat head restraints and a whole lot more.
Sport or Tour? The touch of a button changes the whole driving dynamics to taut sporting excitement or relaxed long distance cruising. The FlexRide (Adaptive Stability Technology) system responds instantly to data collected from every chassis and drive component.
FlexRide FlexRide (Adaptive Stability Technology). Choose an Insignia with FlexRide, and the driving feel can be changed to match your mood. Select Sport mode for a more dynamic, responsive drive. Or Tour mode for a smoother, more relaxed set-up.
Previously only available on selected petrol Turbo models, Adaptive 4X4 is now standard on its first diesel model – the Insignia 2.0CDTi 16v (160PS) 4X4. This combination of permanent four-wheel drive with low end diesel flexibility offers Insignia drivers a whole new range of possibilities. The advantages begin when you pull away, as all four wheels are engaged for stable acceleration with maximum grip.
Adaptive 4X4 Adaptive 4X4 with FlexRide. Specify the Adaptive 4X4 – permanent four-wheel drive – system and your Insignia will automatically distribute drive from the front to the rear wheels as conditions demand. The result? Maximum traction for smooth, strong acceleration, outstanding driving dynamics and more stability in cornering. Press the Sport button and the system distributes more power to the rear wheels in a 40% front: 60% rear split for an even more dynamic feel.
Respect your world We all share a responsibility to look after our world. That’s why Vauxhall has been at the forefront of green automotive initiatives for many years. Most recently, we have been researching ways of developing new cars that are more efficient than ever before. The forthcoming Vauxhall Ampera* is an Extended-Range Electric Vehicle (E-REV) that can drive up to 50 miles on battery power alone and over 300 miles utilising an on-board electric generator system.
Now, more than ever, Insignia’s engines provide the power you want, the fuel efficiency you need and the low, Euro 5 emissions we all appreciate. There’s a choice of five petrol engines – the new ultra-efficient 1.4i 16v 140PS Turbo Start/Stop, high-tech 140PS 1.8i 16v VVT, the 180PS 1.6i 16v Turbo, a 2.0i 16v Turbo at 220PS and a smooth 2.8i V6 24v automatic with 260PS. And four common rail 2.
All Insignia diesels feature 16 valves and most feature variable geometry turbochargers to maximise fuel economy and reduce emissions.
Body language The same design language and technical precision, but a totally unique look. With a wrap-around tailgate, roof spoiler and flexible interior space, the Insignia Sports Tourer has a lot to say about modern life and how we make it happen.
Sports Tourer takes Insignia’s dynamic looks to a new dimension, with innovative use of space throughout. A deep, wide tailgate aperture with a low loading height makes it easy to use. And FlexOrganiser® technology extends loadspace versatility. That curved, wrap-around tailgate is not just attractive to look at. It’s intelligently designed, with powered, remote-control opening on SE and Elite models, activated via the key fob, driver’s door switch or a touch-pad on the tailgate.
Sports Tourer
Ergonomic front seats. Insignia’s front seats offer incredible comfort and support, with manual or electric operation. There’s a huge range of adjustment – not just for seat travel and recline, but height and lumbar adjustment too – allowing all drivers and passengers to find their ideal seating position.
Standard across the range, Insignia’s touch-operated Electric Parking Brake (EPB) with Hill Start Assist (HSA) epitomises the innovation at the heart of this award-winning model.
All models are equipped with the CD 400 audio unit – a seven speaker system with 20 Watts per channel output that can play MP3 tracks from a CD MP3, features an auxiliary-in (aux-in) facility and utilises a full graphic information display for easy menu guidance. SE and Elite models also include Digital Audio Broadcast (DAB) and USB connection.
*Only available in conjunction with Navi 600 and Navi 900. Depending on the system you choose, you can plug in your iPod or MP3 player via the aux-in socket or the USB connection. USB gives added control via the facia ‘head unit’ or steering wheel controls. Infotainment Stylish and functional, the twist and push multi-function controller* makes light work of selecting from the navigation, phone or audio display screen menus.
