The new Opel Insignia is scheduled to make its world debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show.

The top Opel model has made a step forward by making major improvements on three different fronts; the range of power, the interior, and the exterior.

The design of the 2014 Opel Insignia perfectly matches their design philosophy, ‘sculptural artistry meets German Precision’.

Specifications

Engine

The new 2014 Opel Insignia comes with an expanded range of engines. Customers will be able to choose between three alternative drive systems. Diesel engine, gasoline and engine power plants that utilize liquefied petroleum gas.

The existing diesel units have also benefited from improvements.

Exterior

The high-gloss chrome grille at the front of the car is now lower and wider. The strip that carries the Opel logo has been made thinner and includes winglets that connect with the redesigned head lights.

Despite the fact that Opel has made subtle changes to the Insignia’s design, the revised front fascia is definitely notable. The new design boasts new and completely different bumpers, tail-lights and headlamps; the design difference can be seen in the shape.

Interior

One of the most exciting interior features Insignia customers will enjoy is the new center console. The completely re-designed center console has a feeling of refinement and subtlety; the console offers state of the art technologies and functions.

The simplified console has less buttons making it easier to use while making basic functions accessible, like infotainment and air conditioning. The instrument cluster has received new dials thus giving it a fresh and high-tech look.

The new 2014 Opel insignia is first available in Germany, in five and four-door models, along with the Sports Tourer Version.

The 2014 Nissan Note was first launched in 2013 at the Geneva Motor Show. It is not only an upgrade of its predecessor; it also utilizes engineering innovations and ideas that were showcased in the groundbreaking of the Juke and the Qashqai models.

The Nissan Note offers a fully rounded experience which meets the expectations and demands of all customers who are bored with gimmicks, limitations and conventions of most of the top selling small cars.

Specifications

Engine

It combines low running costs with a strong performance. There are three units offered; a supercharged 1.2litre DIG-S, an 89 horsepower 1.5 liter dCi turbo diesel, and a 1.2 liter petrol with an 79 horsepower.

To reduce inefficient power usage in the engine, the Note uses the Miller Cycle system. These innovations make the engine one of the most flexible and efficient in the market.

Interior

It has lane departure warning, blind spot warning and advanced moving object detection systems which combine to give the diver a new level of assistance.

These systems received their data from the cameras mounted on the vehicle. This significantly reduces the risk of accidental scrapes and bumps.

Exterior

The exterior of the car has clean silhouette lines which showcase the car’s leading aerodynamics. It is lightweight and combines the short overhangs and long wheel base to create an agile and sporty look.

Features

The Nissan Note has a simple concept but is still highly advanced in engineering and design. It features a package of technologies which have been used intelligently to give tangible benefits.
