Opel and its sister company Vauxhall are almost ready to showcase the refreshed Insignia, prototypes of which were caught by our scoop photographers while undergoing tests in Southern Europe.

Seen here in both four-door sedan and Sports Tourer estate body styles, the new Insignia series will feature subtle changes to the front end including the grille, bumper and possibly the headlamp designs, as well as to the rear that will gain a restyled bumper and different taillights which are rumored to get LED fixtures.

We haven’t had the chance yet to scoop the interior of the 2013 model year Insignia, but it is likely that Opel will make some improvements inside as well.

Apart from the cosmetic flourishes, the German firm’s engineers will tweak the Insignia’s chassis and the petrol and diesel engines.
