Opel is preparing a competitor to the Audi A6 Allroad

Opel is about to enter the hitherto unexplored segment of "off-road station wagons" . The segment, which for years was reserved practically only for the Audi A6 Allroad (formerly also the Allroad Quattro) will suddenly get a new face.

For the first time, we will see the "plasticized" Insignia already in September at the Frankfurt Motor Show, where it will be presented alongside the modernized Insignia . The main distinguishing feature of the Country Tourer version will be a higher ground clearance, protective plastics on the fenders, bumpers and sides of the body and more prominent bumpers.
