2017 Opel Insignia Caught on Spy on the Nurburgring

View

Opel has sent the all-new Opel Insignia for some rough tests on the Nurburgring, the model being caught on shots wearing full camouflage.

The new Insignia will be released as a 2017 YM and will be quite different than the present generation in terms of styling elements.

Judging from spy photos and according to recent reports, the 2017 Opel Insignia will come with an evolutionary design which mimics the Audi A7. The camouflage would reveal a new front fascia resembling that of the Monza Concept, unveiled at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show.

The sporty design moves to the back where the sloping roofline and dual exhaust system make the rear end a real standout. As expected, the model will be much longer than the present model, the new Insignia being 3.9 inches wider, which would make it perfect against its direct competitor, the upcoming Skoda Superb.

Spy shots also include the interior, the cabin also suffering some modifications. We could depict a three-spoke steering wheel, along with metallic accents, IntelliLink infotainment system, instrument cluster or gloss black accents on the shifter and dashboard.

Under the hood, the 2017 Opel Insignia is also rumored to come with a wide range of high-efficient engines, like the entry-level 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine, followed by a bi-turbo diesel with 160 horsepower. Other more-potent mills will follow shortly.
