Insignia for country fans

The new Insignia Sports Tourer is already in great shape: it takes Opel's design philosophy to the next level with its sporty yet elegant styling and breathtaking lines. Absolutely new light architecture is one of the main reasons for his feisty nature. All these qualities are preserved in the Country Tourer. Its more durable and customized charm makes it a first class option model range Insignia, and from the beginning of the development process, designers and engineers have been working on a third standalone Insignia.

The façade of the new Insignia Country Tourer looks even more purposeful than that of its Sports Tourer roadster. A visible grille and slim headlights provide a wide horizontal imprint, while a silver skid plate helps lower the car down to emphasize a strong stance. Molded black protective lining in the lower fascia, wheel arches and a line running along the underside of the case emphasize the durable appearance. Like the front, the rear also provides adventurous cues. There's the same silver skid plate and dual exhaust panels that add to the lower and wider impression.

“We wanted our new Insignia Country Tourer to be reliable in every way, while at the same time displaying Opel's typical elegant philosophy of sculptural craftsmanship and German precision,” said Mark Adams, Vice President of Design. “It has the spirit of a true flagship, combining a sophisticated athletic shape enhanced with rugged road detailing.”

True to the character of a rugged station wagon, the new Insignia Country Tourer is extremely practical. To make loading as easy as possible, back door can be opened without touching the car. Combined with "Keyless Open & Start" simple movement foot under the rear bumper is enough to open the tailgate. Another swipe under the bumper will close the tailgate. To increase boot space to 1,665 liters, up 130 liters from the outgoing version, the new Insignia Country Tourer comes with optional 40/20/40 folding rear seats that allow for even more flexible boot space configurations.

Superior technology on board

The Insignia Country Tourer, like its Grand Sport and Sports Tourer siblings, features a host of cutting-edge technologies and assistance systems that provide a new level of safety and comfort. One of the highlights in every sense of the word is the second generation of the innovative and award-winning adaptive led lighting IntelliLux LED from Opel. The Opel LED matrix light now has 16 LED segments integrated into each slim headlamp and features an innovative active curve lighting function and a dedicated LED spotlight with a range of up to 400 meters. Further additions include a head-up display, a 360-degree surround view camera, adaptive cruise control(ACC) with automatic emergency braking, Lane Keep Assist with automatic steering correction and Rear Cross Traffic Alert.

Most latest systems Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatible with IntelliLink provide a wide range of connectivity. On board is also Opel's groundbreaking OnStar Connectivity and Service Personal Assistant. It comes with an extensive portfolio of services ranging from automated theft response to stolen vehicle. Two newcomers to the OnStar portfolio are a reservation and parking search service. Both services rely on OnStar consultants to book hotel rooms and/or find suitable parking lots.

Ready for an adventure?

A wide range of power units, including new diesel engine top-class, provides high technical characteristics Opel Insignia Country Tourer 2017-2018. In addition, the newcomer will be available with a new eight-speed automatic transmission and groundbreaking all-wheel drive technology.

Twenty millimeters of extra ground clearance along with innovative torque vectoring all-wheel drive and a new five-link rear suspension satisfy the desire to leave the pavement and provide the Insignia Country Tourer with the most polished system in its class. Instead of the traditional rear differential, which transmits an equal amount of torque to the rear wheels, Opel Insignia The Country Tourer boasts two electrically controlled clutches that provide a more personalized and accurate transmission power per wheel—regardless of road or weather conditions.

To counteract the tendency to understeer in difficult corners over high speeds, the system, depending on the acceleration command and the movement of the steering wheel, sends more torque to the external rear wheel. This happens without further driver intervention and in a fraction of a second. This will stabilize the car. In addition, the Insignia turns with greater precision, reacting more spontaneously to input from the driver. This results in a neutral vehicle behavior, making the vehicle more stable and manageable for the driver, no matter the situation.

Release and cost

The 2018 Opel Insignia Country Tourer will hit dealers shortly after launch or early 2018 at a price that, given the work done and the list of changes, will no doubt be higher than its predecessor.

2017-2018 model year replenished with all-terrain station wagon Opel Insignia Country Tourer 2 generations. In the review, the first information, photos, price and technical characteristics of the all-wheel drive station wagon Opel Insignia Country Tourer with increased ground clearance to 180 mm and a crossover body kit around the perimeter of the body.

But European sales of the new generation of Insignia Country Tour will start even before the premiere, in the middle of summer this year. price about 40,000 euros for the basic configuration of a raised station wagon with all-wheel drive.

The all-terrain Opel Insignia Country Tourer is a more light off-road version of the conventional station wagon. Interestingly, at the same time, the novelty is almost an exact copy, the public presentation of which took place much earlier than the platform brother from the Opel line, and to be precise, within the framework of April.

The second generation Opel Insignia Country Tour, however, as well as, was created according to simple recipe known to many manufacturers. German engineers, taking the Insignia Sport Tourer station wagon with an advanced all-wheel drive system (separate multi-plate clutches on the axle shafts instead of the traditional differential are installed at the rear), increased the distance between the bottom and the roadway by 20 mm, “inflated” the wheel arches due to plastic expanders, in parallel completing the model with more brutal front and rear bumpers, as well as protection of the vehicle body sills with overlays made of unpainted plastic. On the roof there are powerful roof rails that can withstand a load of up to 100 kg. The result was a formidable wagon, with all its appearance speaking of the ability to confidently move not only on paved roads, but also, if necessary, to rush through rough terrain. Plastic crossover protection around the perimeter of the body, by the way, carefully protects the lower parts of the station wagon from minor damage(stones flying from under the wheels, branches and other surprises on the dirt road).

• External dimensions Opel bodies The 2017-2018 Insignia Country Tourer is 4985mm long, 1863mm wide excluding rear-view mirrors, 1500mm high, with a 2829mm wheelbase and 180mm ground clearance.

Solidity to a formidable image all-terrain station wagon add stylish and modern lighting technology with LED headlights and position LED lights (matrix LED headlights IntelliLux with 32 LED elements), dynamic auto body profile and large 18-20 inch wheels.

The interior design of the Opel Insignia Country Tour station wagon exactly copies the interior of not only the usual Opel Insignia Sports Tourer station wagon, but also the American brother Buick Regal TourX. Available mass modern equipment, comfortable driver's seats and front passenger, welcoming second row and impressive dimensions luggage compartment, allowing you to count on a maximum usable volume of up to 1640 liters (loading up to the level of the side windows and folded rear seatbacks).

“Oh yes, we came to Ireland to test the new Opel diesel! Something invisible! Did they slip something gasoline? That's right, after a considerable time after the start, I remembered that, in theory, I manage something diesel car. Nothing but a sense of duty to the hospitable Opel PR people reminded me of this: the diesel behaves in a completely non-diesel way.

It’s not for nothing that Opel minders call their new 2.0 liter CDTI “whispering”: no Idling, nor with intensive acceleration, manifestations characteristic of such motors are not felt. Actually, at any of the speeds achieved during the test, the power unit was not heard in the cabin, the only background was the sound of tires rolling along the road. I liked the “democratic nature” of the diesel engine, which easily forgives low-speed overload in motion: at the same time, you know, there is no traction, the engine grumbles with displeasure, but without jerks pulls our trailer to accelerate from 1,500 rpm.

"Below" the whispering engine, as already mentioned, is dim, but after 2500-3000 rpm they appear clear signs activity. True, after pressing the electronic accelerator, the motor needs a short pause - like a breath before “screaming” for real, showing itself in all its glory after a whisper. By the way, only when spinning up during acceleration, the engine conveys its voice to the passenger compartment, and this sound is both non-diesel and unsportsmanlike - just an ordinary roar of a 2.0-liter internal combustion engine. And what I definitely liked was the economy. After a day of hard driving on the autobahns and winding hills of Ireland's east coast, the flow meter showed a modest 6.7 l/100 km. Thumbs up!

materiel

Opel's new 2.0-litre CDTI is here to fulfill its promise to deliver 17 new engines to the world by 2018. After the 1.3 CDTI and 1.6 CDTI units, this is the third diesel engine promised, and among them it is on this moment is top. Among the differences between the newcomer and its predecessor, the creators call lower fuel consumption and level harmful emissions, improved responsiveness to low revs and reduced noise and vibration levels. Who cares, but your humble servant is ready to take off his hat to Opel minders precisely for the last circumstance. (By the way, the motor was created by the international team of the GM Powertrain Development Center in Turin, which included Germans, Italians, and Americans.) If the “opelevites” themselves call this motor “whispering”, then sometimes it seemed that it was completely silent. The greatest reduction in the level of noise and vibrations was achieved in the most "vulnerable" range for a diesel engine - low speeds of 750 - 2500 rpm.

Of course, other characteristics are also "prettier". Compared to its predecessor, power has increased by 4%, and torque, even without Overboost mode, reaches 400 Nm (+ 14%) at 1750-2500 rpm. On a 2.0 CDTI-equipped Opel Insignia, the company's testers achieved a fuel consumption of combined cycle 4.3 l / 100 km, and such important European toxic emissions amounted to only 114 g / km CO2.

A quick overview of technical innovations is as follows:

- a power system with a turbocharger and a variable valve timing system with electronic control for faster response when pressing the accelerator pedal (20% faster);

— system of selective neutralization of exhaust gases BlueInjection to remove nitrogen oxide;

- low-resonant two-piece oil sump;

- single-rotor turbine with an electric connection drive and increased efficiency (+ 20%);

- light four-valve aluminum cylinder head;

— crankshaft with four counterweights to reduce vibration.

An additional plus may be new motors, a redesigned gearbox, stylish interior and a whole list of other changes made to the Insignia lineup during the latest update.

We won’t talk much about the appearance of the Country Tourer, since it is based on the exterior of the Sports Tourer station wagon with the addition of a special off-road plastic body kit that makes the appearance of this Opel Insignia modification slightly similar to modern crossovers.

The dimensions of the all-wheel drive version are also similar. standard station wagon: length - 4913 mm, wheelbase- 2737 mm, width - 1856 mm and height - 1513 mm. But one very important overall difference there is, however, a ride height of 175mm on the Country Tourer, 15mm higher than either the Sports Tourer or the hatchback sedan. The curb weight is 1733 - 1843 kg.

You can’t say much about the interior either, since we have already considered it mainly Opel review insignia. We only add that the level technical equipment The cabin of the Country Tourer is slightly higher, so the level of comfort is correspondingly slightly higher.

The capacity of the trunk of an all-wheel drive wagon is similar standard version Sports Tourer - 540 liters, which is only 10 liters more than the 2014-2015 Insignia hatchback.

Specifications. For off-road modification, the Germans prepared four motors, aggregated only with a 6-speed "automatic".
Three engines have four cylinders each with a total displacement of 2.0 liters, but they “eat” different types of fuel and have a different “boost level”, and the youngest one is a 1.6-liter gasoline engine. Jr Gas engine will provide 170 hp , and its more voluminous and turbocharged “brother” is capable of producing 249 hp. power, as well as 400 Nm of torque.
Diesel engines are more modest: maximum power The "junior" reaches 163 hp. (peak torque falls at 350 Nm), and the “senior” will give out 195 hp. and 400 Nm of torque.
