2017 Opel Insignia Grand Sport
Opel/Vauxhall is preparing
to renew its family sedan class with a new generation of the
Insignia Grand Sport, which will
eventually arrive on North America shores as the Buick Regal's replacement.
We're still several months away from the Insignia
Grand Sport's official presentation at 2017 Geneva Motor Show, but Opel
is slowly releasing bits and pieces of information. We
learned that it will launch the brand's next-generation of IntelliLux LED
lighting units, while also getting a teaser shot of the car.
Building upon the current headlamps that debuted on
the Astra with 16 LED segments, the Insignia Grand Sport doubles up featuring
32 LED segments, promising to turn
"night into day without dazzling other road users".
The light patterns can be "precisely
adapted", as Opel explains, illuminating the asphalt for up to 400 meters at full high-beam and switching themselves automatically to distribute
the light beam to every traffic situation, from town driving to country roads,
and from the motorway to taking tight turns.
Besides being offered as Buick Regal, the Insignia
will also be marketed in Australia as the new Holden Commodore.
