Vauxhall reveals the new Insignia Sports Tourer at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show

Vauxhall has released the first images of the new Insignia Sports Tourer, which will be making its world premiere at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show next month. Following on from the previous generation, which won the European Car of the Year in 2009, the Insignia Sports Tourer is based on a completely new vehicle architecture.

Its revised proportions result in more luggage capacity that has increased to 1,640 litres, over 100 litres more than the outgoing model. The length of the boot has also grown by 97mm to 2,005mm, compared to the previous model. 40/20/40 foldable seats make it even more practical.

Like the Astra and the forthcoming Insignia Grand Sport, efficiency was key for engineers. The new model is up to 200kg lighter than its predecessor, thanks to the use of lightweight materials and efficient packaging. This weight loss allows for high-tech features such as the ultra-modern all-wheel drive system with torque vectoring and the new eight-speed automatic transmission.
