New engines for Opel / Vauxhall Insignia
Opel added several engines in the Insignia range (known as the Buick Regal in the U.S.) for better economy and CO2 emissions. In the five-door liftback and four-door sedan ecoFLEX models, emissions have now dropped from 136g/km to 129g/km, with a corresponding improvement in fuel consumption from 54.3mpg UK [5.2lt/100km] combined, to 57.6mpg UK [4.9lt/100km]. As a result of the lower emissions, UK customers won’t have to pay VED for the first year.
In the Insignia Sports Tourer ecoFLEX version, C02 emission drop to 134g/km while delivering an improved fuel consumption of 55.4mpg UK, up from 53.3mpg UK.
The 2.0 CDTi 160HP versions benefit from C02 emissions of 144g/km (down from 154g/km), along with a 6.5 per cent lower fuel consumption, while the 2.0 CDTi 130HP engine emits 136g/km of CO2, an 11.5 per cent reduction
The Opel added that all 2.0 CDTi engines also benefit from a raft of changes to reduce noise and vibrations. At least in the UK, road prices for the diesel-powered Insignias remains the same.

Hi Opalfan, I read of the Opal Insignia Tourer on your site. I really like the Steinmetz package. I am looking to purchase a near new car in Europe. Can you make any suggestions as to what to look for and/or recommend a dealer? Thanks, Tim
