Look closely — this is not the Opel Insignia sedan (a.k.a. Saturn Aura) that was recently unveiled. Rather, it’s an all-new version — a five-door hatchback. Besides the fact that we’ve seen this test vehicle with the hatch wide open, you’ll also notice the rear window is longer — and the ‘trunk’ is shorter. Also, take note of the typical hatchback rear-window wiper – something we haven’t seen on the sedan.

As noted, the Insignia sedan will come to North America as the new Saturn Aura sedan. So far, there has been no word yet as to whether Saturn will bring this hatchback version to the States an another Aura variant.
Interestingly, the 2003 Opel Insignia Concept (shown below spy photos) had a similar hatch design to this production vehicle. Of course, the concept had many unique features that never made it to production — including no B-pillars, pantograph-action rear doors, LED headlights, and a very short front overhang.
