Opel Signum

Feb 26, 2003 - The new Opel Signum, which is celebrating its world premiere at the 2003 Geneva International Motor Show, is a unique car that breaks through conventional segment barriers. The innovative trendsetter with its long wheelbase and stretched body-style combines an elegant exterior with impressive driving dynamics, maximum interior flexibility and high individual passenger comfort.

A special highlight of the Signum is its FlexSpace seating system, which makes it possible to slide each outer rear seats individually backwards by as much as 130 millimeters. For even more comfort, the rear seatbacks can be tilted to a 30-degree angle. The basis for the Signum´s intelligent seating system are the Signum´s unique proportions: with a length of 4636 mm the Signum is only 40 mm longer than the Vectra sedan, but its wheelbase is 130 mm longer.

The new Opel Signum is offered with four gasoline and three diesel engines from the ECOTEC family with power output ranging from 100 to 211 horsepower. A 3.0 V6 common rail diesel unit and a 2.0-liter turbo are both coupled with a newly designed, lightweight, six-speed manual gearbox. An adaptive five-speed automatic transmission with 'Active Select' function is also available for a variety of engines.

Apart from the entry-level version, the new Signum will be offered with three equipment lines, “Elegance”, “Sport”, and “Cosmo”. The Signum will make its market debut in the beginning of May.
