A geek's guide to leasing or buying a Vauxhall Insignia.
The Vauxhall Insignia is a large family oriented vehicle created by the German motoring firm Opel. It was the very first production vehicle to implement a top of the range dual-function frontal camera with traffic sign recognition. Upon its release the automobile featured a 1.6 litre straight-four engine that could produce 85 kilowatts or an alternative 1.8 litre version that produced 103 kilowatts. The Insignia can also be purchased with an efficiently powerful 2.0 direct injection turbo charged engine that can create 162 kilowatts. Additionally, the automobile also features highly effective front wheel drive, a 6-speed transmission and can also be acquired with four-wheel drive. During 2009 an eco-friendly version of the Insignia was created with a efficient 2.0 litre ecoFLEX diesel engine that vastly improved the vehicle's emissions.
The Vauxhall Insignia is highly popular with new and experienced motorists alike. With a highly efficient directly injected engine and unrivalled reliability on the road the Insignia always manages to impress motorists. The vehicle also includes highly stylish interiors with a classic dashboard and highly comfortable supportive seating. If that wasn't enough, the automobile can also be purchased with a efficient and eco-friendly 2.0 litre ecoFLEX diesel engine that vastly lowers the emissions of the Vauxhall Insignia. The vehicle is also available for competitive prices on the commercial buying and leasing market, which effectively means that almost anyone can get behind the wheel of a stylish cutting edge vehicle without overspending.
The Insignia is one of the most recent vehicles to have been assembled at the Opel headquarters in Russelsheim and was designed primarily to replace the Vectra. The car is called the Opel Insignia, however the vehicle is branded as the Vauxhall Insignia in the British Isles and was launched to the world in 2008 at the British International Motor Show in London. Whilst production only started in the 2000s, the Vauxhall Insignia has won various vehicle awards including amongst others the 2009 European Car of the Year. The honours showcase the very best of a car which includes such advanced technology as a dual-function frontal camera able to register traffic signs. The vehicle has also achieved a five star safety rating from independent assessors EuroNCAP who focus on a motor car's level of safety in road tests.
