Vauxhall has released images under camouflage wrap of its new Insignia Grand Sport family saloon.

The model, which is to be unveiled at Geneva motor show in March and will replace the current model, is a five-door hatchback that is based on a completely new architecture.

The car has a wheelbase 9cm longer than its predecessor, with shorter overhangs meaning it is 5.5cm longer.

The new platform means it is 175kg lighter, too.

“Vauxhall is raising its game even further with the launch of the new Insignia Grand Sport,” said Rory Harvey, Vauxhall’s chairman and managing director.

“It will set new standards for design, efficiency, technology and connectivity when it debuts next year at the Geneva Motor Show.”
