Vauxhall Insignia: desirable versatility
The Vauxhall Insignia offers comfort, reliability and plenty of space, making it a firm favourite as a large family hatchback to rival the Ford Mondeo.
Released as a replacement to the Vectra in 2008, the Insignia is an affordable and practical car, ideal for long journeys. According to Parkers it’s comfortable, a great motorway cruiser and is good value for money, especially when bought second hand.
The new Vauxhall Insignia saloon also brings an added sophistication to the family market, with more refined styling, a plusher interior finish and an improved sat-nav system.
Technological improvements have enabled the Insignia to outstrip its predecessor in terms of driving performance, providing plenty of torque and rapid acceleration as well as thrifty fuel consumption on the motorway.
According to Top Gear, once you get going, the new Vauxhall Insignia hatchback can travel at a surprising pace, and it hangs on past the point where the old Vectra would have given up the ghost. With two diesel and three petrol engines to choose from, Auto Trader says that, undoubtedly, the Vauxhall Insignia offers versatility.
Well-liked by businesses looking for reliable company cars, the new Vauxhall Insignia estate also provides comfort for the driver, which Top Gear says makes it feel like a premium product and a car that you could do some serious miles in. Running costs are also reasonably low for a car of its size, with efficient fuel consumption, low insurance and easily replaceable parts.
Drivers looking for a large hatchback that combines comfort and affordability on long motorway journeys would be serving their families well by checking out some Vauxhall Insignia deals. As What Car? says, it’s the most desirable Vauxhall for years.
