Vauxhall Insignia (2020) Facelift Spotted Testing

[Nairrk]

The current Vauxhall Insignia has been with us since 2017, but a refreshed version is on the way soon to take on recently revised class leaders like the Volkswagen Passat and Skoda Superb.

Spy shots showcase the revised car in hatchback Grand Sport and Sports Tourer estate guises, with the modest amount of cladding used to disguise these test cars revealing that the styling changes will be minimal in the mid-life facelift. Expect a reprofiled front bumper, plus grille elements and minor graphical tweaks to both the head and tail lamps for the hatch. The estate, meanwhile, will get a new rear bumper, too.

New 2020 Vauxhall Insignia: prices, specs and images

The updated Vauxhall Insignia will go on sale in the summer priced from £23,120 and rising to £38,850. The new model features a handful of cosmetic revisions and new on-board technology.

Standard equipment for the facelifted Vauxhall Insignia includes 17-inch alloy wheels, LED headlamps, front fog lamps and a pair of electrically adjustable and heated door mirrors. There’s also a smattering of driver assistance technology, including cruise control, front and rear parking sensors, lane keeping assist and traffic sign recognition.

Inside, buyers get a multifunction leather-trimmed steering wheel, two-zone climate control, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror, a pair of USB sockets and a seven-inch infotainment system with support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

SRi Nav models are priced from £24,620. The trim-level adds LED ambient lighting, gloss black and chrome window trims, a tailgate spoiler and a pair of illuminated vanity mirrors.

Vauxhall’s mid-range Insignia SRi VX-Line Nav starts from £27,620 and adds a host of extra technology including an eight-inch infotainment system with voice recognition, keyless entry and start and a wireless smartphone charger, two extra USB sockets and a pair of heated and ventilated front seats. Adaptive suspension comes as standard, too.

SRi VX-Line Nav buyers get Vauxhall’s IntelliLux Matrix LED headlamps, too. Each unit houses 84 LED bulbs which, combined with a forward-facing camera, can automatically adjust the beam trajectory to avoid dazzling oncoming road users. Also, despite being more powerful than the Insignia’s old halogen light units, they’re more energy efficient.

There’s also a handful of cosmetic upgrades, including a set of 20-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, rear privacy glass and a sporty VX-Line body kit. Inside, buyers get an aluminium pedal box, black headlining, perforated leather seat upholstery and a “VX-Line” branded heated, flat-bottomed leather steering wheel.
