VAUXHALL has announced that it will add a SUV-inspired all-purpose estate to its New Insignia range later this year.
Known as the Insignia Country Tourer, and based on the Sports Tourer model, but with all-wheel drive, higher ground clearance and tougher styling, the new car will be unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show this September.
Off road, the new Insignia Country Tourer benefits from larger tyres and a raised ride height, in addition to its four-wheel drive traction.
Ground clearance is 20mm higher than on a standard model, a major advantage when encountering loose, uneven terrain.
Stuart Harris, Vauxhall’s Head of Carline Brand, said: “The Insignia Country Tourer is perfect for a winter holiday, on snowy roads, or simply when the going gets tough.
“Even on urban roads its robust looks give it strong stand-out appeal.”
