The new engine system is also more refined and cleaner, compared to older engines. And in order to deliver such an impressive result, the engineering team has included a thing called Gasoline Particulate Filter that contribute for better oxidization of the particles that accumulate in the filter. And therefore the 1.6-liter Direct Injection Turbo unit meets the new strict Euro 6d-TEMP emission standard that will be mandatory for public roads from September 2019.
Along with new engine, the flagship Insignia range features some more neat technologies as Adaptive Cruise Control, IntelliLux LED matrix headlights and ergonomic seats. Buyers also get refined infotainment system with large touchscreen, Driver Information Cluster and Multimedia Navi pro System. Neat!
