Vauxhall Insignia Sports Tourer review

Even the seats fitted to the entry-level Design models are pretty comfortable, but we’d suggest moving up to Tech Line Nav trim for a greater range of adjustment that includes lumbar and seat-squab tilt for better thigh support. And, thanks to plenty of steering wheel height and reach adjustment on all models, you’ll be able to find a comfortable seating position.

Once in place, you’ll discover that the gearlever falls easily to hand and the major controls are just as conveniently located.

When you operate the touchscreen, you’ll find the on-screen icons are mostly large and easy to hit, the menus responsive and simple enough to figure out. Admittedly, it’s not as slick as systems in premium-brand cars, but it’s not far off the usability of Volkswagen Group offerings, as fitted to rivals such as the Passat and Skoda Superb.

All versions get a USB port in the front and all bar the lowest trim have two outlets in the rear.
