Opel Insignia Engines and Transmissions

Opel Insignia engine and transmission pairings vary by body. The 1.8 MT Liftback uses gasoline, a manual, and front-wheel drive for everyday commuting. A 2.0 AT Sedan diesel adds an automatic and all-wheel drivetrain, while the 1.6 MT Liftback LPG keeps a manual, front-driven layout.

Opel Insignia Trims and Equipment

On the 1.8 MT Liftback, Opel Insignia trim levels such as Essentia and Active sit on the same gasoline manual, front-wheel-drive package. Equipment steps change comfort and convenience rather than the core powertrain, so you choose cabin extras independently of how the car is driven.
