I know what you’re thinking, because I was thinking it too… that’s a saving of over £5,000 from a brand new Vauxhall Insignia Exclusiv? It can’t be true? Well Ladies and Gentlemen it is, at Saveonnewcars.com a Vauxhall Insignia Exclusiv 1.8i can be yours for just £13,407 – wowzer.
The Vauxhall Insignia Exclusiv 1.8i is a well equipped model with added style, comfort and convenience.
New Insignia engines provide you with power you want, the fuel efficiency you need and the low, Euro 5 emissions we all know and love. There is a choice of 4 petrol engines – the 180 BHP, 1.6i 16v Turbo; a high tech 140 BHP, 1.8i 16v VVT; A 2.0i 16v Turbo with 220 BHP and also a 2.8i V6 24v auto with 260 BHP. All of this may sound like a load of waffle… but, if you’re looking for as much speed as possible on a budget, it would be advised to go for the 1.6 litre model of the Insignia. This has the added bonus of being a turbo engine so will make the car reach higher speeds.
As this article is focussing on the 1.8i engine, I’ll tell you a little more about it. It features a variable intake manifold and variable valve timing (VVT). Now, that may sound like a load of old rubbish so let me explain a little bit about both… firstly the variable intake manifold. The intake manifold is the part of the engine that supplies the mixture of fuel and air to the cylinders. The primary function of the manifold is to evenly distribute this combustion mixture (or just air in a direct injection engine) to each port of the cylinder head(s). Even distribution is very important to optimise the efficiency and performance of the engine.
The variable valve timing, often abbreviated to VVT, allows lift, duration or timing of the intake and/or exhaust valves to be changed while the engine is in operation. This effectively increases thermal efficiency, which in turn creates more fuel from less fuel. Which may sound stupid, but what it means is that you are essentially getting more use out of the fuel for your money.
As with all the new Vauxhall Insignias it comes with Electric Parking Brake (EPB) and Hill Start Assist (HSA). The electric parking brake was designed to boost driver comfort and increase parking security; it features a drive away function, which releases the parking brake allowing you to pull away smoothly. The HSA keeps the brake pressure applied momentarily after you’ve take your foot off the pedal, preventing you from rolling back on a slope if you haven’t first applied the parking brake. Similar to this, there is also a hill hold assist function which again stops the vehicle rolling back when moving off on an incline by making sure there’s sufficient engine torque available. Both come as standard and are a very handy piece of technology to have in the car if you aren’t confident with hill starts.
The Insignia Exclusiv also comes with the following additional features over the standard S model:
- Single – zone electronic climate control
- 17 – inch Structure wheels
- Chrome effect exterior side window surround
- 60/40 split-folding rear seat with load-through facility
- Front centre armrest with storage facility
- Illuminated vanity mirrors
- Front seat back storage pockets
- Rear seat drinks holders
- Centre rear seat head restraint
- Front map reading lights
- Two rear reading lights
Also, at an extra cost, you can get the 18 inch 7 twinspoke alloy wheels for the exclusiv.
