Speccing your Insignia could take some time because there are dozens of versions to choose from.
The trim levels on the saloon include ES, Exclusiv, SRi, SE and Elite, but we’d recommend going for Tech Line, which is only available on the hatch back and Sports Tourer estate; it gives you lots of kit for a reasonable price.
There are also seven engine options on the saloon, including some low-CO2 Ecoflex units that make sense if you’re a company car driver.
The Insignia looks great, has a nicely trimmed cabin and offers premium-car features, such as adaptive damping, nine-pattern automatic headlamp beam adjustment and speed limit recognition and display.
