hi all, does anyone tow wth a insignia country estate,
currently got a 2.0 passat but its a bit light for the van meaning we only take the basic basics, passat is 1600 but the van max weight is 1500.
it tows well and has plenty of power

Insignia has plenty of power and nice to drive, but I have yet to find that that is really comfortable especially on a long drive. I have never towed with one.

This car is top of my list when I renew this coming year. It has very good reviews for towing and secondhand is a bargain buy. The auto box is reliable if not quite as quick to respond as the modern Dual Clutch autos. Change auto box fluid at 60000mls if towing and renew timing belt and water pump at recommended interval.
If I remember correctly they Insignia has the torque converter transfer box?

I had a 64 plate estate the towball limit was only 75Kg dont know about the newer ones. With a 1500Kg caravan I would be looking for a minimum of 100Kg my caravan is 1500 and I tow with a Kuga.

We had a 2015 insignia estate 2.0ltr deisel Auto Sri. it was a lovely car, but could not get it to tow our van in stable condition, tried all sorts, but at 60 mph van would become unstable 50 - 55 mph okay. van was 1300Kgs MTPLM.
But other than that enjoyed owning the vehicle.
