The Vauxhall Insignia Grand Sport warms up for winter in the U.K.

With U.K. temperatures plummeting to well below freezing this week, drivers across the country are having to face the daily grind of scraping and de-icing their windscreens, adding time and inconvenience to their morning commutes. But Vauxhall reckons that they'll warm up - literally - to its new Insignia Grand Sport, which has some of the hottest equipment in its class.

The new Vauxhall Insignia Grand Sport helps to banish the cold conditions of winter with several safety and comfort features, to keep not only the driver but also passengers comfortable when it's cold outside. Bringing premium technology to a mainstream model, the Insignia Grand Sport includes a wide range of features, including heated front and rear seats, a heated steering wheel and a heated windscreen.

The windscreen can be easily defrosted at the push of a button by a fine wire heating element, reducing the need to spend time out in the cold scraping ice from view. The heated windscreen also prevents fogging in humid conditions, further improving visibility and safety. The heating switches off automatically and can be reactivated if necessary by another press of the button.
