After its public premiere at the Frankfurt Motor
Show last September, the Opel Insignia GSi is now available for order, in both
saloon and estate guise, in several European markets.
Pricing for the 2018 Insingia GSi Grand Sport starts
from € 45,595 in Germany, tax included, whereas the GSi Sports Tourer starts from € 46,595.
The GSi is available with two powertrains; a
2.0-liter bi-turbo diesel that delivers 210 PS and a healthy 480 Nm of torque and a 2.0-liter turbocharged petrol unit rated at 260 PS and 400 Nm of torque. Both versions use an 8-speed automatic
transmission.
In addition to the two powertrains, the new Insignia
GSi also gets the FlexRide chassis, adaptive all-wheel drive with torque
vectoring, lowering springs that reduce ride height by 10 mm, Brembo
brakes, and Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S tires. Moreover, the driver can choose
between Standard, Tour, and Sport modes, plus the GSi-exclusive Competition,
which is activated via the ESP button.
