The first Opel model to carry the GSI moniker since the Corsa in 2012, the Insignia GSI comes powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine developing 191 kW and 400 Nm of torque, while the Sports Tourer boasts a similar displacement albeit fuelled by diesel and equipped with an extra turbocharger for a output of 154 kW and 480 Nm of torque.
On both models, drive goes to all four wheels via Twinster all-wheel drive system through an eight-speed automatic gearbox, with Torque Vectoring, Brembo brake calipers, FlexRide chassis and four mode drive selector (Standard, Sport, Tour and Competition) standard on all models.
In its home market, the GSI retails for €45 595 (R729 656) while the Sports Tourer commands a sticker price of €46 595 (R745 659). Although the latter is unlikely to reach South Africa anytime soon, speculation is open on the sedan following Opel's recent sale to the PSA group and ultimate market re-commitment.
