Given the new style brief, we expect the next Insignia will be based on the exact same eVMP underpinnings as the Peugeot’s upcoming replacements for the 3008 as well as 5008 SUVs. That likewise means the crossover will be offered with a option of electric powertrains, offering between 250 as well as 400 miles of range, depending upon the battery pack as well as motors.

The eVMP design is compatible with batteries ranging between 60kWh as well as 100kWh in capability – as well as there’ll likely be a broad variety of electric motor configurations, starting with the 134bhp front-wheel drive powertrain from the Corsa-e as well as topping-out with a 335bhp dual-motor, four-wheel drive system in the flagship.
