The next generation Insignia Grand Sport lands in Singapore next year

The new Insignia Grand Sport is based on a completely new vehicle architecture. The wheelbase has been elongated by 92mm, enabling a much more spacious interior that especially benefits the rear passengers. It also allowed the designers to give the new Insignia Grand Sport outstanding, new, athletic proportions and a true flagship presence.

Looking much longer and lower, it has the slim, lithe silhouette of a coupe and the bold road stance of upper-class vehicles. Inside, the new Insignia Grand Sport also delights the driver with a slim, embracing dashboard and a 30mm lower seating position providing a much more engaging and direct driving experience.

Like for the Opel Astra, efficiency was key during the development of the new Insignia. Optimised packaging and the use of lightweight materials have helped cut its weight by up to 175kg, to the benefit of driving precision and agility.

New, high-tech features such as the all-wheel drive system with torque vectoring - the most sophisticated system offered in the segment - and the new eight-speed automatic transmission allow drivers to enjoy driving to the fullest.

Furthermore, the Insignia Grand Sport comes with a string of top technologies that make driving it safer, more relaxing and more comfortable than ever. Building on the highly acclaimed LED matrix adaptive lighting system of the Astra, Opel engineers have already developed the second generation IntelliLux LED light for the Insignia - it is even faster, more precise and more powerful, and its high beam now has a reach of up to 400m.

The Insignia Grand Sport will be available with a wide range of latest generation turbocharged engines and transmissions when it is officially launched in Singapore next year. The friction-optimised, highly efficient eight-speed automatic transmission is new to the lineup. It impresses with class leading shifting comfort and will initially only be available in combination with all-wheel drive. It is combined with an all new, high-tech five-link rear suspension. Two electrically controlled multi-plate clutches in the all-wheel drive system replace the usual rear axle differential, providing a much more precise power transmission to each rear wheel individually.
