Opel Insignia Country Tourer was first shown to the public at Frankfurt Motor Show in 2013, along with the facelift of all Insignia model range. The car is based on the Sports Tourer (estate) body of Insignia, but it has greater ground clearance and protection for the body as an SUV. Opel Insignia Country Tourer was initially available only with an all-wheel drive system, but later on also with FWD.
