Vauxhall Insignia facelift (2013) first pictures of overhauled Insignia

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ollie Kew, 12 June 2013 08:00

Though you might not spot the tweaks to the new Vauxhall Insignia on the outside, there are big changes afoot under the bonnet and in the cabin. It’s also cheaper than the outgoing model, and will be officially revealed at the Frankfurt motor show in September 2013. UK deliveries start in October, with prices starting from £16,279. What are the ...

Vauxhall VXR8 GTS (2013) first pictures of Aussie M5-killer

Rated 3 out of 53

This is Vauxhall's BMW M5 and Mercedes E63 AMG fighter: the new VXR8. The £55k rear-drive saloon doesn't just beat its German peers for price though. It's also punching with the heavyweights in the power stakes, developing 576bhp and 545lb ft. Is the new Vauxhall VXR8 GTS just a rebadged Australian muscle car? Strictly it's nothing more than the new HSV ...

Vauxhall Cascada Elite 2.0 CDTi (2013) CAR review

Vauxhall Cascada Elite 2.0 CDTi (2013) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ollie Kew, 23 May 2013 11:00

The Vauxhall Cascada is a two-door, four-seat soft-top  pitched against the Audi A5 Cabriolet. Underneath the skin there are bits of Astra hatchback and Insignia saloon, but the Cascada looks altogether classier than run-of-the-mill Vauxhalls. In a class dominated by image and brand cachet over driving dynamics, can the Cascada cut it? We drove the 2.0-litre CDTi diesel in range-topping Elite ...

HSV GTS/Vauxhall VXR8 (2013) first pictures of new Aussie M5

Rated 4.5 out of 54.5

Ollie Kew, 14 May 2013 15:01

This is the new HSV GTS: all 577bhp of it. The V8-powered supersaloon has had a supercharger bolted onto its 430bhp engine, taking power from BMW M3 levels to the same poke as a Mercedes E63 AMG S. Plus, there's a new exterior and cabin design. On sale in Australia in September 2013 and sitting atop the new Holden Commodore ...

Vauxhall Adam Slam 1.4 (2013) UK CAR review

Vauxhall Adam Slam 1.4 (2013) UK CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ollie Kew, 01 May 2013 11:00

CAR first drove the Vauxhall Adam earlier this year, but that was a European-spec car on Portugese roads. The Adam copped a lot of stick for its ride and handling – which Vauxhall promised would be retuned for discerning British tastes (and shoddy British roads) on UK models. We’ve driven the sporty 1.4 ‘Slam’ model to see if the changes ...

Vauxhall Mokka 1.7 CDTI (2013) CAR review

Vauxhall Mokka 1.7 CDTI (2013) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ollie Kew, 16 April 2013 12:30

Vauxhall’s new Mokka crossover doesn’t directly rival jacked-up superminis like the Nissan Juke or new Renault Captur, nor fully-fledged family tools like Nissan’s popular Qashqai or the likeable Skoda Yeti. The Mokka splits them on size, space and price, but does that leave it falling between two stools, or as the best of both worlds? Read on for the CAR ...

Vauxhall VXR8 Tourer (2013) first official pictures

Rated 3 out of 53

Ollie Kew, 28 March 2013 10:50

This is Vauxhall's most powerful estate car ever: the VXR8 Tourer. Based on the Australian market's outgoing HSV Commodore R8 Tourer, the VXR8 uses a previous-gen Chevrolet Corvette V8 engine to lug along the biggest loadspace in its class. Is this the ultimate sub-£50k family car? Read on for the full spec... What are the Vauxhall VXR8 Tourer's vital stats? Power ...

Vauxhall Insignia (2013) engine overhaul and facelift

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Phil McNamara, 25 January 2013 10:30

Vauxhall will relaunch its Insignia hatch and wagon in September 2013, with a revamp that goes way beyond the nosejob and butt-tuck visible in our pictures. New, competitive petrol and diesel engines will be plumbed in, as Vauxhall embraces the downsizing trend to boost fuel economy. As well as flying around the Nürburgring, prototypes will be tested on UK roads, ...

Rated 3 out of 53

Ollie Kew, 22 November 2012 15:20

Vauxhall is prepping a nipped, tucked and tweaked Insignia for release next year, complete with chassis upgrades and new engines. The car seen testing in our spy shots confirms there are detail changes to the lights front and rear, and a tweaked grille. We're sure the heavy-handed body surfacing applied to the rear door is not part of the facelift, though it ...

Vauxhall/Opel has built its new Adam city car around the idea of chic street-cred, but it's now given the Mini Cooper rival a healthy dose of motorsport pedigree as well. An international rally series is being readied for the Adam, where competitors will use a race-prepped version of the city car. A well-specced Adam...with a difference The regular Adam is pitched as a blank ...
