The VAUXHALL INSIGNIA (2008-14) 5DR SPORTS TOURER 1.8 140 SRI VX LINE NAV 6SPD is a roomy, five-door estate car, offering a practical alternative to an SUV for UK buyers who need extra boot space without a high-riding body. It sits in the mainstream family-car class, competing with estate versions of the Ford Mondeo and Volkswagen Passat. With its long load area, comfortable cabin and sporty VX Line styling, it suits families, commuters and anyone carrying luggage, pets or weekend gear. The 1.8-litre petrol engine and six-speed manual provide straightforward driving, while built-in navigation adds useful convenience. It is less focused on fuel economy than smaller hatchbacks but offers versatility and a composed long-distance feel. Compared with rival estates, it stands out for generous space and sporty appearance, while its low used price can make it an appealing value choice today. mycarcheck.com has recorded just two look-ups for this exact version, covering one VIN, so these figures are a small snapshot, not a market-wide guide.
