New impressions with Opel Insignia Sports Tourer

Most recently, Opel held a presentation of the Opel Insignia Sports Tourer in Europe. The main difference of the new model is a turbocharged engine of 2 liters capacity and 250 horsepower.
But it is impossible not to note other pleasant changes in the car. First, a very nice appearance. Many experts note that this is one of the best models in the last few years, if you evaluate it in appearance. Very rarely happens that the wagon is awarded such a praise. Favorite drivers are usually either sedans, or off-road vehicles, but not universal. For all this, the exterior is not the main advantage of the Opel Insignia Sports Tourer. The motor, whose power is 250 horsepower, with a torque of 400 Nm, is not just good, it's impressive. But first things first.

In the interior of the car everything is done so that the driver was most comfortable to manage such a powerful device. Between the driver's and passenger seats there is a high central panel. It seems that you are separated by a partition. This technique has long been used by BMW manufacturers. All the details of the control seem to be looking towards the driver's seat, thereby creating a sporting environment for the driver.
In order to implement this mode, the driver has everything. The gear shift is perfect, without delays. If you still enter the sporting mood, then I will delight your limit. Naturally, if you look at the fuel consumption sensor, your mood will change to the exact opposite. In some cases, the flow rate reaches 40 liters per 100 km.

A unique chassis control system called FlexRide helps to create the unique sports enthusiasm that Opel Insignia Sports Tourer has. He reacts very quickly to changing any settings, and also adapts to the driving style of the owner. How? This should be asked from the manufacturers. It is suitable for both everyday driving and traveling.

On the European motorways, the Opel Insignia Sports Tourer is rapidly gaining speed of 200 km / h, although this is clearly not its limit. Manage it at this speed is not difficult, because it is very well-kept road. The full drive uses the Haldex coupling, which has proven itself well. It is good because it does not require maintenance. The driver of the station wagon is not required to drive all the time, so the engineers provided for the possibility of using the front and rear drive separately. This saves fuel.
But if you really needed a 4x4 drive, you can be sure that the car will not let you down. Especially it concerns safety. In ice, the car feels comfortable enough. It can not be said that the Astra Sports Tourer is designed for off-road driving. The obstacle is a long wheelbase and a small ground clearance. The all wheel drive is more designed to help the car in difficult start conditions.

Opel Insignia Sports Tourer to meet in our country is quite difficult. In fact, the car can be called exotic. Yes, you can buy it in our country, but only under the order. Its price is quite high for the Russian consumer. The driver with the money for which this machine is sold, will, perhaps, buy another car. Yes, Opel is good, yes, he is powerful, yes, he's handsome. But for this price you can buy a car more popular brand.
