2009 Vauxhall Insignia

The Vauxhall Insignia elegant styling combines sculptured artistry with technical precision, illustrated by wing and blade themes which integrate with the car's rakish, but graceful silhouette. The body's sculpted shape is punctuated by sweeping front and rear light designs and fronted by a bold radiator grille, which displays the refreshed Griffin logo in a new, circular surround carrying Vauxhall's name.
Another benefit brought by the Insignia's flowing lines is a spectacularly low Cd of just 0.27, bringing with it benefits in fuel consumption, cabin refinement and performance. All body variants have an identical wheelbase of 2737mm, while the Sports Tourer adds around 80mm to the 4830mm length of the saloon and hatch models.
Vauxhall Insignia saloon and hatch models will hit UK dealerships at the end of 2008 with a broad range of two diesel and three petrol engines. The Sports Tourer - due in 2009 - will bring with it two further powertrains, a 1.6-litre, 180PS petrol and a new 2.0 CDTi BiTurbo with a maximum output of 190PS. An ecoFLEX version with lower C02 emissions, but with no performance compromise, will join the line-up in 2009. All powertrains will come with either a six-speed manual or six-speed auto transmission.
