A small four-cylinder millequattro cubic centimeters. The LPG system. In short, a combination that we expect to find on a sedan important, because Opel Insignia also this is. Four yards and 83 inches long for the traditional three volumes four and 91 for the station wagon, which in Russelsheim is called Sport Tourer: are numbers that anticipate well what is the task to which it will be called the turbo petrol from 140 horses bi-fuel.

Choice for virtually all manufacturers of combination with a supercharged engine of petrol-LPG dual power supply. The presence of the turbo compensates for the lack of torque of a naturally aspirated, which would be amplified in LPG mode.

Prices will be all in all, since for the Opel Insignia sedan Lpg price starts from € 2,000 28,800 more than the basic version with the same engine powered exclusively by gasoline. An extra cost that it will not be difficult to absorb if you plan to use from pure road racer that the Insignia is aiming to cover. You could plead that, who runs several kilometres, it could choose the model with the 2 litre diesel from 130 horses question of use, driving pleasure turbo petrol and fuel cost. The consumptions stated by Opel for the 1.4 turbo gasoline engine from 140 horses say 5.7 liters/100 km in combined cycle, up to 7.5 gallons in town: remember that in LPG mode, these values are set to grow for the lower energy performance of LPG compared to petrol.

For those who do not see the boot from 500 litres of Lpg – Opel Insignia that loses only the spare wheel to accommodate the toroidal tank from 42 litres, there is the proposed station wagon: equal power, a thousand euros more in price. With 29,800 euros you earn 8 extra inches in length and 40 litres in the trunk. Not only. For purists and lovers of design, the tail wagon improves the style of Insignia sedan. Call it Sports Tourer and is there any precise meaning, since the overall dynamism dismisses the Insigna by traditional wagon all rated for the load of luggage.

Autonomy in Lpg mode, selectable via a button on the dashboard, is 500 km, while the total reaches the 1700 miles. You can calculate the average consumption of Lpg from this data in about 7 liters per 100 km, whereas the 42 liter tank can fill – for security reasons – only at 80%: 33.6 litres. Performance features from Opel Insignia with the 1.4 turbo gasoline engine from 140 horses promises a top speed of 205 km/h (200 for the sports tourer) and an acceleration from 0 to 100 in 10 9 ? (11 ST 9 ?).
