Vauxhall Insignia

What is the Vauxhall Insignia?

The Insignia was Vauxhall’s large family car, positioned above the Astra. It came as a hatchback or estate, with the second generation using names such as Grand Sport and Sports Tourer. The first Insignia replaced the Vectra and brought a more sculpted design, along with new lighting and driver-assistance features. The later generation continued with petrol and diesel power and offered a choice of hatchback and estate body styles.

Insignia generations

The Insignia A ran from 2008 to 2017, followed by the Insignia B from 2017 to 2022. The first generation paired a flowing shape with features such as adaptive AFL+ lighting and traffic-sign recognition. The second-generation range included the Grand Sport hatchback and Sports Tourer estate, as well as the Country Tourer and GSi versions.

Engines, fuel consumption and CO₂

EU registration figures from 2010 to 2020 cover petrol and diesel Insignias with engines from 1.4 L to 2.8 L. The listed power figure is 120 kW (163 PS). The most registered configurations were 2.0 L diesel versions, with leading figures recorded in 2011, 2010 and 2012.

UK VCA figures from 2009 to 2018 include petrol and diesel engines from 1.4 L to 2.8 L, with power from 81 kW (110 PS) to 239 kW (325 PS). The lowest listed consumption is 3.7 L/100 km on NEDC. NEDC and WLTP are European test procedures, and figures from the two are not directly comparable.
