The Vauxhall Insignia is now available with its most powerful diesel engine ever, boasting 192bhp - 35bhp more than the next diesel in the range.

Called the BiTurbo, the engine is a 2-litre fitted with sequential turbochargers designed to increase response across the rev range. It will go from zero to 62mph in 8.2 seconds.

Thanks to increased efficiency, it's also more economical, managing an average of 57.6mpg, compared with 55.4mpg for the 2-litre CDTi with 158bhp. Emissions are as low as 129g/km of CO2 in the manual front-wheel drive hatchback.

It will be available in the hatchback and Sports Tourer estate in SRi, SRi Vx-line and Elite trims, priced from £27,120. Four-wheel drive is available in SRi and SRi Vx-line trim.

Vauxhall's FlexRide adaptive damping suspension is standard (normally a £790 option), featuring Tour and Sport buttons, allowing the driver to tune throttle, steering and damper settings separately.

Four-wheel drive versions get a Torque Transfer Device (TTD) and rear axle electronically controlled Limited Slip Differential, allowing power to be juggled to the wheels with most traction.
