Hi Danni,

Overall performance will not be all that much different between an Insignia, a Sportage and a Grandland X — they all weigh about the same, and use engines with very similar power outputs. The 2.0-litre Insignia will obviously be a bit more brisk than the basic 1.7 Sportage, but if you’re comparing like-with-like, then there won’t be a huge difference. That said, the Insignia, thanks in no small part to having superior aerodynamic performance, will probably prove a little more fuel efficient, especially on a long journey, and it is a comfortable car to drive, again especially on long journeys. Personally, we’d prefer it to either a Sportage or a Grandland X unless you’re really sold on the SUV body style. For the same price, more or less, you’re getting a car that’s (arguably) better looking, better to drive and has more cabin space.
