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 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 D-segment saloon-styled five-door hatchback that competes with the Ford Mondeo and Volkswagen Passat. Available as a Grand Sport hatchback, Sports Tourer estate, or Country Tourer with extra cladding, it was designed primarily for the company car market. The range is extensive, with engine options from a 1.6-litre diesel with 109bhp to a 207bhp twin-turbo diesel in the GSi model. The 1.5-litre petrol with 163bhp offers an excellent balance of performance, torque, and fuel economy. All versions are well equipped, with many featuring dual-zone climate control, cruise control, automatic headlights and wipers, and parking sensors as standard.

The Insignia Grand Sport offers impressive practicality with a 490-litre boot expanding to 1,450 litres with rear seats folded, plus optional 40:20:40 split-folding rear seats. Fuel consumption ranges from around 55mpg for efficient diesels to approximately 45mpg for the 1.5-litre petrol, with estates and the Country Tourer slightly less efficient. Most models feature timing chains, reducing maintenance costs, though 2.0-litre diesels require timing belt changes every six years or 100,000 miles. As a used purchase, the Insignia Grand Sport represents excellent value with abundant availability and significant depreciation benefits, though it lacks the sportiness of dedicated driver's cars and the spaciousness of the Skoda Superb.

Best for: Budget-conscious buyers seeking a spacious, well-equipped family saloon or estate; company car users; those prioritising motorway comfort and economical diesel engines.

Not ideal for: Drivers seeking sporty handling or premium badge appeal; buyers requiring maximum interior space; those wanting four-wheel drive as standard on the Country Tourer.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Insignia Grand Sport if: You're seeking a spacious, well-equipped family saloon or estate on a budget, prioritising motorway comfort and economical diesel engines, or looking for excellent used value.

Consider alternatives if: You want sporty handling, premium badge appeal, maximum interior space, or four-wheel drive as standard on the Country Tourer.

Competitive Position: The Vauxhall Insignia Grand Sport is a solid, sensible, and dependable family choice offering substantial space and equipment at a keenly priced point. Whilst it won't excite with class or sporty driving dynamics, it represents excellent value on the used market with abundant availability and significant depreciation benefits. The Skoda Superb trumps it in most areas, particularly spaciousness, whilst the Ford Mondeo offers better driving engagement. However, for budget-conscious buyers seeking a practical, well-equipped D-segment car, the Insignia Grand Sport is absolutely worthy of consideration and remains a strong contender against its rivals.
