Vauxhall Grandland, Crossland and Insignia range simplified- and prices CUT
The Vauxhall Grandland, Crossland and Insignia get a simplified model range, additional equipment and a drop in prices.

The new Vauxhall Astra is revealed complete with underpinnings from the Peugeot 308, a new Vizor face and two new PHEV powertrain options.
