Competing against the Mondeo's conventional appeal and the Vectra's aging presence, it offered either a 2.0-litre petrol engine producing 136 hp or a 2.0-litre diesel good for 131 hp.

The model's distinctive profile—wedge-shaped and rakish—failed to overcom
2004 Opel Signum i-Line Brochure
By 2004, buyers seeking an alternative to the conventional family saloon found the Signum i-Line offering something the Mondeo and Vectra did not: a coupé-sedan hybrid with genuine visual distinction.
