New Car: Vauxhall Insignia Sports Tourer Elite Nav 2018 review

The Elite Nav kit list is suitably huge: there’s 18-inch alloy wheels, Matrix LED lights, leather seats that are heated in the front and the back, digital dials, and another eight-inch display for the touchscreen infotainment system featuring Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. In terms of safety, there’s a front-facing camera that works with the forward collision alert and auto emergency braking, and lane departure warning with lane assist.

Our test car also included a few options. The panoramic glass roof makes a spacious cabin feel even more airy but, at £960, it’s pricey. But that figure pales into insignificance beside the 'Exclusive' paint finish. Lovely though the deep red metallic hue is, it costs a whopping £4,400 – a lot on any car, let alone a Vauxhall estate.

The Elite Nav is available with a choice of four diesel and two petrol engines. This is the second most powerful diesel - the 2.0-litre unit makes 168bhp, and thanks to endless torque and a smooth shifting auto, it’s a great match for the Insignia’s relaxed gait.

Pricey paint or not, the Insignia fees suitably expensive inside. To our eyes, the wide, sweeping dash looks more special than the Skoda’s, and build quality is more than a match for the big Czech wagon. The front seats are wonderfully comfortable too, and there's loads of adjustment. It’s not lacking in space elsewhere, either: even tall passengers have room to stretch out in the back, while the estate’s extended roofline means that headroom is even better than the already generous hatchback.

At 560 litres, the Insignia’s boot can’t match for the Skoda Superb’s 660 litre volume. The Vauxhal’s space is still vast though, and the opening is wide, square and devoid of any load lip. It’s full of useful touches, too: you get a storage net to one side, a 12-volt socket on the other, and the three-way split seat backs can be dropped with levers in the boot.
