Is the Vauxhall Insignia a good car?
The interior of the Insignia is a huge step forward compared to the old Vectra. Material quality and the overall layout have been greatly improved, but it still falls behind the Volkswagen Passat and passenger space isn’t as generous as you might expect.
The Insignia is a very capable motorway cruiser. The ride soaks up bumps and imperfections nicely and hardly any noise filters its way into the cabin at speed. It won’t entertain the driver the way a Mondeo will, but after a long drive in the Insignia you never feel tired or worn out.
The Insignia is a decent value family or company car – but there's a new one on the way
The 2.0-litre diesel is the best choice of engine. What impresses the most is the pulling power at low speeds and its hushed nature on the motorway. Some of the petrols are faster, but none can match the low fuel consumption of the diesels or the 1.6-litre model’s free road tax.
Equipment levels are good and every Insignia comes with climate control, DAB digital radio with Bluetooth phone connectivity, automatic lights as well as cruise control. See the paint shades available for the Vauxhall Insignia and check if it’ll fit into your life with our dimensions guide.
The Insignia is still overlooked by some people on the basis of its predecessors’ reputation rather than its own. It may be the successor to the little-loved Vectra, but this is a different car built on a global platform that sells in big numbers all over the world.
It might not be the very best car in its class, and it’s already faded into the background on the roads, but if you buy the right model it can be great value and is well worth recommending for that reason alone.
How much is the Vauxhall Insignia?
The Vauxhall Insignia has a RRP range of £18,379 to £36,095. However, on Carwow prices for a new Vauxhall Insignia start at £18,087 if paying cash. The price of a used Vauxhall Insignia on Carwow starts at £7,443.
What's it like to drive?
As with the interior, the driving experience has improved immeasurably over the old Vectra. It’s not as highly rated as the Mondeo, but then little else in the class scales those heights either, and Vauxhall appears to have got the basics right.
The Insignia was born to transport executives up and down motorways – and it does it incredibly well
What's it like inside?
The Insignia’s interior is one of its real star attractions. Its swoopy curves and high standards of build quality are fab, it’s superbly comfortable and everything is easy to use.
