Vauxhall Insignia Grand Sport (2017-2021) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Keenly priced on the used market	Not at all sporty to drive
Economical diesels are ideal for motorway driving	The Country Tourer isn't necessarily four-wheel drive
Well equipped whichever model you choose	A Skoda Superb is much more spacious

Quick Summary

The Vauxhall Insignia Grand Sport (2017-2021) is a solid, sensible, and dependable D-segment family car. While it may not offer a thrilling driving experience or premium class, it provides ample space and equipment for its price, making used examples a bargain due to significant depreciation. It's a five-door hatchback despite its saloon-like appearance, offering a 490-litre boot and generous rear space.

Engine options range from economical diesels (around 55mpg for 1.6-litre) to petrol models (around 45mpg for 1.5-litre), with most engines featuring timing chains for lower long-term maintenance. Even entry-level models like the SRi are well-equipped, including dual-zone climate control, cruise control, and parking sensors, with smartphone mirroring for navigation. It's a strong contender against rivals like the Ford Mondeo, but the Skoda Superb offers even more space.

Best for: Drivers on a budget, those seeking a sensible, dependable, and spacious family car with good equipment levels, and buyers looking for an economical motorway cruiser.

Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising a sporty driving experience, premium feel, or class-leading interior space (compared to a Skoda Superb).
