London - Opel will launch its new Insignia at the London Motor Show in July with both a five-door hatchback and sedan version, the car maker announced recently.

Both models are scheduled for European showrooms by November and have similar body designs with a coupe-shaped roofline and replace the old Vectra range.

Seven engines will be available ranging from the four-cylinder 115 hp petrol to the 260 hp V6. The three diesels have an output in the range 110 to 160 hp.

The Insignia features the latest generation AFL Adaptive Forward Lighting system with nine different light beam settings automatically adjusting to different driving conditions.

It will be available in both front-wheel and all-wheel drive versions. The all-wheel drive is fitted with the FlexRide mechatronic chassis system that adjust the vehicle to driving conditions, according to Opel.

An innovative new option for the Insignia is the "Opel Eye" traffic sign recognition system that has a wide-angle camera between the windshield and rear-view mirror, scanning the road ahead. The camera sends its information to the software in the vehicle. The road signs are displayed on the instrument panel as a warning. Drivers are also alerted to unintended lane changes.

Prices for the Insignia will be announced at the show, Opel said. (dpa)
