And the fact that Vauxhall is still testing the estateò€™s dynamics this long after the saloon variant was signed off backs up the firmò€™s claims that this is a going to be a completely unique model.
But this is one car that will need to be on its game if itò€™s going to steal sales from the already established class-leaders, which include the Ford Mondeo Estate and Honda Accord Tourer. Weò€™ll have more details when the Insignia Sports Tourer is revealed to the public at the Paris Motor Show in October.
