REDEFINING ALL-ROUND COMFORT AND CONVENIENCE.

The touch-operated electric parking brake on the Opel Insignia offers both increased parking security and less effort. Combined with Hill Start Assist and Hill Hold, which both prevent the car rolling backwards when stopped on a hill, it gets you moving smoothly, effortlessly and more safely.

The fully orthopaedic ergonomic driver’s sports seat adjusts eight ways and has four-way lumbar support to suit your posture perfectly. The adjustable seat-extension cushion delivers relaxing leg support.

The ergonomic sports seat is approved and recommended by AGR (Aktion Gesunder Rücken e.V.), a German medical association that has set orthopaedic requirements for car seats.

Top Tec protection – fitted as standard on beige cloth trims prevents spilt fluids, grime and unwelcome stains from being absorbed by the upholstery. Despite this resilience, the fabric remains soft to the touch and still permits the passage of air to maintain seating comfort.

Insignia now features the superb Navi 600 integrated satellite navigation system with 7-inch colour display and USB connection on all models except Insignia S. Featuring the latest SD card-based navigation the USB connection also lets you control your iPod via the steering wheel controls.

The optional Navi 900 additionally features 3D and ‘bird’s eye’ views together with voice control.

Insignia S models features a still impressive stereo radio with CD/MP3 CD player with aux-in and seven-speakers.

There are two optional Bluetooth™ solutions for connecting your mobile phone. Firstly there’s a simple Bluetooth connection alternatively there’s a more sophisticated ‘embedded’ system which downloads your contacts, making your car the mobile phone. All-important phone functions can be operated from the steering wheel, the audio unit, or via voice control.

For premium sound quality the Opel Insignia also offers the option of the exceptional Infinity Sound System. This uses 7x45W direct channels to drive eight premium speakers. The audio signal is digitised with Digital Sound Processing (DSP) for improved sonic response. The difference is better all-round sound reproduction under all driving conditions.

The Opel Insignia puts convenient pockets and compartments within easy reach of the driver and passengers. There are seat back map pockets, door pockets, a driver’s storage bin, cup holders front and rear, a large glove box, sunglasses holder, and a center rear armrest storage space. You want to use your computer or another electronic device? A special option is the 230-volt power outlet in the centre rear console.

With a load volume of 530 litres the Opel Insignia hatchback offers one of the most capacious luggage compartments in its class. The folding 60/40 rear seat back allows an increased load volume of up to 1,465 litres, when folding the headrests can stay in place.

The tailgate of the Insignia hatchback is opened by the touch pad integrated into the Opel logo. A compartment in the side of the boot keeps smaller items easily to hand, whilst another compartment under the load floor stores items that are only needed occasionally.
