Vauxhall is set to add a rugged SUV-inspired all-purpose estate, the Vauxhall Insignia Country Tourer, unveiled at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show, to its new Insignia range in late 2013. It will be available with all-wheel drive, higher ground clearance and tougher styling.
The Country Tourer gets a wider griffin grille, a protective panel in gleaming silver finish and an anthracite-coloured protective cladding on the side sills and lower body sections. The headlamps, with embedded chrome accents, incorporate wing-style LED daytime running lights. This theme is repeated at the rear, with LED brake and taillights.
State-of-the-art all-wheel drive is combined with two powerful turbo-diesel engines: a 2.0-litre BiTurbo CDTi, producing 195PS and 400Nm of torque, and a 2.0-litre CDTi with 165PS and up to 380Nm torque available. A choice of six-speed manual or a low-friction, six-speed automatic transmission is available on the 2.0-litre (165PS) diesel engine. The 2.0-litre (195PS) BiTurbo diesel engine is available in automatic only.
The 2014 Vauxhall Insignia Country Tourer will be available in two trim levels, Country Tourer, priced from £25,349 to £29,709 on-the-road, and Country Tourer Nav, priced from £26,499 to £30,859 on-the-road.
