Spacious and opulent
Are you looking for a spacious station wagon? Then there isn’t much left to choose from. Fortunately, on the used car market, there is. There you’ll find the last generation Opel Insignia Sports Tourer for a relative steal.
The SUV has given the traditional station wagon a significant blow. Audi offers the A5 Avant and A6 Avant, BMW the 3- and 5-series Touring, and Mercedes-Benz the CLA, C-, and E-class Estate. For those for whom compact mid-range station wagons like the Hyundai i30 Wagon, Kia Ceed Sportswagon, Peugeot 308 SW, Opel Astra Sports Tourer, or Volkswagen Golf Variant are too small, only Skoda, Volkswagen, and Peugeot remain. Besides the Octavia Combi, Skoda also has the Superb Combi, Volkswagen sells the Passat Variant, and Peugeot still has the 508 SW on its menu. Opel no longer has a traditional mid-range car since the disappearance of the last generation Insignia. That last Opel Insignia Sports Tourer is now an interesting and relatively cheap beast of a station wagon.
In the extensive used car offer on AutoWeek.nl, you can already find a last-generation Opel Insignia Sports Tourer for less than €8,000. That’s a generously equipped model from 2018, although it has almost 300,000 kilometers on the odometer. We can well imagine that this mileage is too much for you. Don’t worry: you can also buy models with 200,000 kilometers or even less for a reasonable price. For example, we found this 2018 model with 199,314 kilometers of experience for which you pay less than €12,000. For barely more money, this model with 150,000 on the odometer is for sale.
What it’s all about: an immense trunk space.
The offer of reasonably priced used Opel Insignia Sports Tourers, less than 10 years old with less than 200,000 kilometers on the clock and with a friendly price tag, is considerable. Just look at this example, or this one, or this one (see photos) or… well. The choice is huge. Also huge is the luggage space. The trunk can hold 560 liters, which means that in practice, you rarely have to fold down the back seat. If you do, 1,665 liters of no-nonsense packing pleasure are created. Ready for the summer holidays.
