Unique VXR body styling... powerful 280ps 2.8i V6 24v Turbo engine...0-60 in just 6.1 seconds (manual hatchback)... dual-processor continuous damping control. Few other mid-range five-seat hatchbacks, or estates for that matter, have such stunning performance credentials, and now there's even an Automatic model. But then Vectra VXR is not about following convention. Put simply, it's the best Vectra yet!
