The photo above is the very first official shots of the soon-to-be-launched Opel Insignia’s interior, or to be precise, the UK market Insignia that bears the Vauxhall logo. Overall, this is a big improvement and looks quite good. Such a beautiful, clean and classy interior! The glimpse of the mid-size sedan’s interior is in a series of leaked (low-res) images back in April, these official pictures from Vauxhall allow us to see the cabin in high-resolution detail. Along with the official high-res interior pics, Vauxhall also released new exterior images of the Insignia in a lusty black colour.

The Opel Insignia features a relatively sporty wrap around interior design that has nothing in common with the Vectra’s ultra conservative cabin, which could come to the States as a Saturn. Highlights include chronometer-inspired instruments and a unique instrument cluster lighting which is illuminated white, but on pressing the ‘Sport’ button, the lighting turns red to match the surrounding illumination. John Puskar, Executive Director of Interior Design at GM Europe says; “This is a paradigm shift for Vauxhall,” . “We wanted to create interior environments for all our future vehicles that are warm, inviting and sporty. The Insignia is the first evidence of this philosophy.”

“Every detail was meticulously thought through,” says Jochen Werner, Insignia’s Assistant Chief Interior Designer. “We even tipped the infotainment centre at a 30 degree angle to allow the centre console to flow and give the car’s cabin a greater feeling of spaciousness.”

The overall ambience and design of the cabin looks very good. Top marks, Opel.
