GM UK Leasing is, unsurprisingly, the first to offer contract hire rates for the new Insignia.

The Masterlease division will be offering an Exclusiv 2.0 CDTi 130 hatchback from £219 plus VAT a month, based on a three-year term with three payments in advance.

GM UK Leasing managing director Robert O’Connell, said: “The Insignia is a very important new product for fleet buyers.

"It has provoked enormous interest already and we’re looking forward to its debut in UK fleets.”
