When launched in 2003, the Signum sparked a lot of surprise, particularly due to its shape which makes the car difficult to relate to a specific class.
Minutely designed, the Signum looks good. However, its hatchback shape is constantly contradicted by its nearly MPV size. Although one may have expected the Signum to be a comfortable 5 seater, Opel didn’t see any case in fitting the car with a 5th seat, and used that space to fit in a variety of comfort-enhancing tools such as food trays and beverage holders. Paradoxically, the height of the vehicle is just a tad above that of a sedan so the head room offered is yet far from matching that of an MPV.
