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 is a D-segment car competing with the Ford Mondeo and Volkswagen Passat, offering a practical five-door hatchback design primarily aimed at the company car market. Available in multiple body styles including the Grand Sport hatchback and Sports Tourer estate, it provides a spacious interior with a 490-litre boot that expands to 1,450 litres with seats folded down.

Engine options range from a 1.6-litre diesel to a 207bhp twin-turbo diesel, with the 1.5-litre petrol model offering a balanced combination of performance and fuel efficiency. While not the most exciting drive, the Insignia represents excellent value in the used market, particularly for budget-conscious buyers seeking a practical family car with good equipment levels and reasonable running costs.

Best for: Budget-conscious buyers, company car users, and those seeking a practical family car with good equipment levels.
