New Vauxhall Insignia VXR Sports Tourer
With headline outputs of 321bhp and 321lb ft of torque, both peaking at 5250rpm, the Insignia VXR is more powerful than all of its chosen rivals apart from the 328bhp Audi S4, but this isn’t reflected in its performance on the road.
The turbocharged 2.8-litre V6 is a large, lazily boosted engine that gives a smooth build-up of power, virtually free from the sudden, non-linear turbo surge that afflicts the Astra VXR.
Things pick up as the turbo kicks in and you climb higher up the rev range. Performance here is strong, if not as outright quick as Vauxhall might like. Our two-way average 0-60mph figure of 6.7sec – completed with two occupants – lags well behind the claimed figure of 5.9sec and leaves the VXR trailing its closest rivals in a straight line.
