2020 Opel Insignia Gains New 2.0L Turbo Petrol, Diesel AWD Powertrains In Europe

The facelifted Opel Insignia lineup has gained two new petrol and diesel drivetrain combinations in Europe.

The main addition is a new 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder petrol unit, available on both the 2020 Insignia Grand Sport lifback and 2020 Insignia Sports Tourer wagon. The engine delivers 170 PS (168 HP / 125 kW) and a peak torque figure of 350 Nm (258 lb-ft) from as low 1,500 rpm.

Offered in combination with a nine-speed automatic transmission, the new 2.0-liter engine enables the Insignia to sprint from zero to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 8.7 seconds and hit a top speed of 228 km/h (141 mph). Equipped with this engine, the Insignia Grand Sport is said to average 6.0-6.4 l/100 km (47-44.1 mpg UK), with corresponding CO2 emissions of 150-145 g/km.
