Vauxhall Insignia Sports Tourer 2.8T V6 4x4 Elite Nav 5dr Review

For The combination of four-wheel drive and V6 power gives strong performance and very good traction, while the car has a suitably lavish specification.

Against This all comes at a very high price - one at which you could buy something with a far more prestigious badge.

Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

There are dozens Vauxhall Insignia Sports Tourers to choose from. The trim levels include Exclusiv, ES, SRi, SE and Elite, and there are special edition versions on top of that. We'd recommend Exclusiv – all the essential kit at a reasonable price.

The choices won't stop there, though, because there are also loads of engines to choose from, with a wide range of petrol and diesel units, including some low-CO2 Ecoflex units. There are even some four-wheel-drive versions.

The Insignia looks great, has a nicely trimmed cabin for a car of this price and offers premium-car features, such as adaptive damping, nine-pattern automatic headlamp beam adjustment and speed limit recognition and display.

Ultimately, though, it's more about motorway comfort and stability than country-lane precision. The Mondeo can do both, and is a bigger and better estate car.
