Opel has just provided details of upgrades made to the 2012 Opel Insignia. It will be upgraded with 1.4-liter and 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engines in more markets throughout Europe. Under the hood, Opel will replace their old naturally aspirated 1.8-liter engine with the new 1.4-liter turbo gasoline unit that will produce the same output of 140hp. The new 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine will produce an additional 30 horses to bump the total performance to 250hp.

The 1.4-liter Turbo ecoFLEX engine gives the Insignia an accelerate from 0-62 mph in 10.9 seconds with a top speed of 127 mph, while the 2.0-liter Turbo unit propels the car from 0-62 in 7.5 seconds and gives it a top speed of 155 mph. Opel has done the same upgrades to the front-wheel-drive 2.0-liter Turbo model as well. Like its all-wheel-drive counterpart, it's also available with a six-speed manual transmission. Other updates include a start/stop system, more aerodynamic underbody paneling, and rolling-resistance-optimized tires, which will help reduce fuel consumption.

An interior upgrade is an SD card-based infotainment system and there's a revised front camera that adds a Following Distance Indication feature that measures the distance to the car in front and helps drivers avoid rear-end collisions with visual and audio warnings. The updated 2012 Opel Insignia will make its debut at the Frankfurt Auto Show next month.
