VAUXHALL has announced that its new benchmarking Vectra Estate goes on sale on November 24.

The company says the car will offer a wide array of innovations that is set to make it “the envy of its competitors.” Prices start at £16,045 for the 1.8 1 6v LS or Club model.

Vauxhall expects the estate will represent around 15 per cent of Vectra sales and undoubtedly increase the overall market share of the marque in both fleet and private-buyer markets.

The car will be launched with five trim levels - LS, Club, SXI, Elegance and Elite.

Next spring the introduction of an SRI trim will complete the range.
