THE BALANCE OF POWER.
The Opel Insignia brings the very best proven technology together with a power, ride and handling package designed to put real pleasure into every aspect of driving.
Read on to get more details about the outstanding Insignia driving dynamics and technological innovations like the FlexRide chassis.
FlexRide chassis (Adaptive Stability Technology)
The Opel Insignia features a class-leading electronic chassis control system. FlexRide increases your driving safety and enjoyment, instantly reacting to changing conditions and adapting to your driving style in real time.
The heart of this advanced driving system is the unique Driving Mode Control (DMC). This continually collects the data from every chassis and drive component, responding instantly to this input – and to the driving style. If the driver starts to drive sportively on a curvy road or accelerates heavily, DMC changes from “Tour” or “Normal” to “Sport” settings to optimize dynamics.
In extreme situations FlexRide automatically adjusts the damping to provide maximum safety and control in every driving mode. The crucial components of FlexRide are Continuous Damping Control (CDC), which adjusts the damper settings in real time to changing situations, 4-channel ABS with Electronic Brake-force Distribution, Traction Control, and ESP®Plus.
By using the FlexRide switches you can actively change the driving dynamics of your Insignia to suit your mood. Choose “Sport” for a more responsive drive with stiffer damping or “Tour” for relaxed cruising. “Normal” is the default mode.
Selecting “Sport”, for example, sharpens the response of the speed-sensitive steering, throttle input, and automatic transmission (when fitted), and the dampers are stiffened to ensure optimal road contact. The “Sport” mode can also be customized via a menu displayed on the infotainment screen, enabling you to pre-program your Opel Insignia exactly to your driving style.
To further enhance the sporty mood and feel, the instrument lighting also changes from white to red when selecting the “Sport” mode.
