Review & Road Test

Vauxhall Insignia 1.8i 16V SRi 5dr -

If ever a mainstream car set out to be all things to all people (fleet managers included) it's the Vauxhall Insignia. Steve Walker takes a look at the ever-expanding range

Vauxhall Insignia 1.8i 16V SRi 5dr - Ten Second Review

In burying the rather workaday image of its predecessor, the Vectra, the Insignia has undoubtedly done a fine job. That it has also retained a strong foothold in the all-important fleet market is, arguably, even more commendable. Stylish, spacious, comfortable, refined, solidly put together and well finished, the Insignia is a significant player. The range is truly vast and appears to have all bases covered.

Vauxhall Insignia 1.8i 16V SRi 5dr - Background

The people that made the Vauxhall Vectra the success that it was would ultimately have a big part to play in its downfall. The car was popular through all its various versions but popular with the wrong people. Fleet managers loved the dependable style of this low cost family car but private buyers were less enamoured. Too many of them found its prosaic qualities a little, well, boring. The Vectra prospered as the favourite conveyance of world-weary sales execs and carriageway slogging area managers but that wasn't enough for Vauxhall. The Insignia's ambition was to cast a far wider net and haul in people who might otherwise be considering a prestige German brand. It meant a far-reaching rethink and a solid line-up of petrol and diesel powertrains to service one of the broadest ranges in the market.

Vauxhall Insignia 1.8i 16V SRi 5dr - Driving Experience

The Insignia is offered with no fewer than seven different power outputs across the petrol and diesel engine line up, ranging from 130 to 325bhp. The 195bhp biturbo version of the 2.0-litre CDTi powerplant is the most recent addition to the range, Vauxhall again trying to tempt buyers away from Germany's more muscular oil burners. Many of the Insignia's engines come with start/stop technology and the ecoFLEX models, in particular, are notably frugal and green. There's even a choice of two or four-wheel-drive on some models, the 4x4s benefiting from the clever adaptive all-wheel-drive system pioneered by Saab. It adapts the distribution of torque between all four wheels instantaneously to enhance traction and handling. This should give the Insignia a key advantage over its predominately 2WD rivals.

A clever adjustable damping 'FlexRide' system has been developed for this car, enabling drivers to choose a chassis setup that matches their own particular driving style. In addition to the Standard ride setting, FlexRide enables the driver to select a relaxed (Tour) setting or a firmer suspension set-up (Sport) by pressing one of two buttons on the instrument panel. In Sport mode, FlexRide not only provides stiffer damping, but also swifter throttle response and sharper steering, plus it raises the shift-points of the automatic transmission to a higher rpm and adjusts the Adaptive 4X4 system for more rear-wheel drive. The lighting on the instrument panel even changes from white to red to add to the driving experience.

Vauxhall Insignia 1.8i 16V SRi 5dr - Design and Build

Offered as a five-door, a four-door or an estate, this car tries for a dynamic, head-turning appearance and isn't unsuccessful. The five-door hatch and four-door saloon versions are nigh-on impossible to distinguish at a glance. Both have the same bowed roofline which drops dramatically towards the rear and, perhaps the Insignia's signature stylistic device, the "blade" feature that's cutaway behind the front wheelarches. At the front, all Insignia models feature a bold chrome grille with the latest Vauxhall badge at the centre. It sits on a raised centre section which runs down through the bumper and up to merge with the lines of the Insignia's fluted bonnet. The result is as easy on the air as it is on the eye with Vauxhall claiming the sector's best aerodynamics at 0.27Cd, which is one of the most slippery shapes of any car full stop.

The Insignia's styling has to be deemed a success in the context of the often mundane medium range sector but the designers were also intent on delivering practicality. The car is 21mm longer than the old Vectra at 4,820mm, and 50mm wider. The Vectra wasn't a cramped offering itself but the Insignia improves passenger space partly through these larger exterior dimensions and partly through a wheelbase that's extended by 35mm.

The cabin has been set out to be as eye-catching as the exterior. The Vectra was always worthy but dull and the Insignia has a number of features with the potential to set tongues wagging. The dashboard top wraps around at the sides in a steady curve that melts into the door linings. The effect is that the driver feels cocooned inside the car. The mood is helped by adaptive ambient lighting and a massive amount of attention has also been paid to the seats which have been specially designed to set new standards for ergonomics, comfort and safety.

Vauxhall Insignia 1.8i 16V SRi 5dr - Market and Model

Even entry-level trim Insignias offer a decent level of standard equipment that runs to ABS brakes and ESP stability control, automatic headlamps, electric adjustment of the driver's seat height and lumber support, single-zone air conditioned climate control front, side and curtain airbags and even cruise control. If you want four wheel drive, then it's an option on the 2.0-litre petrol or diesel models and standard on the 2.8-litre petrol V6. The Insignia has daytime running lamps, the must-have automotive feature of the moment and uses an improved version of AFL, Vauxhall's Adaptive Forward Lighting system that allows the headlamps to swivel with the car. A clever Front Camera System is also offered with a Traffic Sign Recognition function that reads speed limit and no-passing signs and displays them on the instrument panel. There's also Lane Departure Warning which alerts dozy drivers when they unintentionally veer out of their lane.

Aimed chiefly at the business user, the more recently introduced Tech Line spec seeks to combine the road tax and congestion charge busting eco-stats of the ecoFLEX models (though it can also be had with other powertrains) with a largely cost-neutral, spec-massaging equipment bundle to effectively lower the benefit-in-kind tax liability.

Vauxhall Insignia 1.8i 16V SRi 5dr - Cost of Ownership

Running costs are a major concern in the Insignia's target market and the diesel models in particular should deliver the goods. Thanks to the large 70-litre tank, even the regular 130bhp 2.0 CDTi variants boast a theoretical range of over 900 miles, based on their fuel consumption figures - expect 60.1mpg on the combined cycle. If you really want to get on top of running costs, the 160PS version of the 2.0-litre diesel is offered in 'greener' ecoFLEX guise, and that returns 65.7mpg on the combined cycle with 115 g/km of CO2. All versions come with a maintenance-free diesel particulate filter as standard and as you'd expect, meet Euro 5 emission levels.

Go for a petrol model and you can expect an OK 49.6mpg on the combined cycle from the 1.4-litre Turbo but the 2.8V6 model manage a poor return of 25.7mpg with 258 g/km of CO2. Go for 4WD and you can expect it to have a small negative impact on both fuel consumption and performance but it's nothing really to worry about.

Vauxhall Insignia 1.8i 16V SRi 5dr - Summary

The Vauxhall Insignia has certainly turned a corner for Vauxhall in the medium-sized sector. The company has worked hard to broaden the appeal of the Insignia way beyond that of the fleet-favourite Vectra and it appears to have been successful. Efforts to inject extra style and flair to the look of the car have gone down well, the front camera system is neat and the optional four-wheel-drive system is an interesting addition to the medium range sector.

Is this car as sharp to drive as its Mondeo rival? Perhaps not, but there's not much in it and the clever FlexRide system gives it a technological edge. There's not very much on the debit side, unless you count the big gap between the two four cylinder petrol engines' output and their unremarkable fuel economy. Overall, what's crucial is that the basics seem to work. The Insignia looks a desirable, cleverly designed package that will give rivals something to think about.
