Vauxhall and Opel celebrate 100,000 Insignia orders

After being on the market for less than a year, Vauxhall, and sister brand Opel, have reached the 100,000 order milestone for the all new Insignia, which is available in Grand Sport and Sports Tourer bodystyles. Vauxhall's flagship range also includes a rugged Country Tourer and a forthcoming GSi performance model that will arrive in Vauxhall showrooms in the spring.

The new Insignia range is powered by a portfolio of turbocharged, four-cylinder, diesel and petrol engines ranging from 1.5-litres to 2.0-litres, combined with a choice of a six-speed manual or six and eight-speed automatic transmissions.

The most powerful diesel and petrol engines are also offered with innovative torque vectoring all-wheel drive. Buyers benefit from numerous state-of-the-art technologies such as adaptive cruise control, IntelliLux LED matrix head lights and ergonomic seats.

The new Insignia also offers moderate cost of ownership compared with its competitors in the high-volume and premium segments. Nine in 10 of the new Insignia cars ordered so far come with the optional Navi 900 IntelliLink top-of-the-range infotainment system.

The integrated navigation system features an 8.0-inch capacitive colour touchscreen. Navi 900 IntelliLink is compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, bringing the world of smartphones into the car. If OnStar is on-board, smartphones can also connect to the car's powerful 4G/LTE Wi-Fi Hotspot, which enables online audio streaming.
