Also the previous Insignia, which was a slightly smaller car had a V6 with a turbo. The two Vectras (the Insignia's predecessor) before that, also had a V6 option.

Holden vehicle development manager Jeremy Tassone, who revealed that Holden was part of the Insignia B program since its inception more than five years ago, said: “We wanted to make sure the (E2) architecture could take the V6 that Holden wanted.
“Prior to Holden getting involved in this program there was no V6. Europe don’t take a V6 at all, as the 2.0-litre is their premium engine. So, we had to get in there, fight our case, present our data, and (tell Opel that) that it is very important for Australia to have a V6 and all-wheel drive.”
