Opel's New Comfy Crossover - The Frontera!
Spacious Opel Frontera Available at Economical Price
Hop aboard Opel's All-New Frontera and experience a cozy ride where space and affordability go hand in hand!
Got a big fam or always on the move? Look no further! The Frontera, Opel's latest SUV, strikes the perfect balance between practicality and pocket-friendly prices.
Don't be fooled by the friendly exterior, this SUV offers a roomy and comfortable cabin that'll make everyone feel at ease. Just need a little extra swag to go with your practicality? Opt for the premium add-ons and keep it stylish sis!
Measuring at 4.39 meters, the Frontera has some wiggle room, snuggling neatly between the Mokka and Grandland in Opel's SUV lineup. Best of all, it's the most budget-friendly of the trio, with a starting price of 24,000 euros! This cost-savvy design shares the same platform as Stellantis' affordable entry-level models, making it a wallet-friendly choice.
How's the Vibe, You Ask?
At first glance, Opel has struck a balance between cost-cutting and aesthetics. The more stylish trim levels, like our test vehicle's two-tone finish, certainly aren't lacking in curb appeal. Outfitted with white steel wheels and a white roof that contrasts brilliantly against the dark green body, the Frontera exudes a classic, rugged off-road feel thanks to its angular silhouette.
The trunk's the bomb, shattering expectations of small SUVs. With 460 to 1,600 liters of cargo space, it's one of the roomiest around, even out-hoarding some larger crossovers! Plus, the flat loading floor with a hidden storage compartment and low loading edge ensure smooth everyday loading. And hey, if you've got little ones, there's even an optional third row of seats on combustion engine models!
Inner Beauty, Meet Practicality
At first glance, the interior looks the business with a clean layout and clever design details like built-in vehicle graphics on the rubber mats. But the closer you look, the more you'll notice the modest material quality and build. You'll find plenty of hard plastic—even in areas out of sight. Hey, it's all about those savings, right?
Seating isn't a problem, with sufficiently comfy, firm chairs providing some side support. However, taller drivers may find the seat length a bit of a squeeze.
Enough Power Under the Hood
Don't despair, seat squashers, this tiny beast performs like a enginesur! Our test car was powered by a 1.2-liter three-cylinder turbocharged gasoline engine with 145 PS teamed up with a six-speed DCT automatic transmission as standard. The powertrain duo provides a slick ride with zippy acceleration and peppy performance for scores of family fun!
The electric hybrid motor ensures you'll reach those city speeds swiftly, while slashing down hills with minimal power demand. This translates to a respectable average fuel consumption of around 5 liters. On the highway, tho', the three-cylinder engine works harder, dipping the fuel efficiency to over 7 liters. In mixed driving, expect a high 6-liters per 100 km consumption - er, it's not the most fuel-efficient option, but it sure is fun!
Spirited, but Not the Sportiest
The Frontera rolls smoothly on the road, showing off its well-tuned suspension that handles city streets like a pro while keeping a solid and composed feel. The pretty light steering makes easy work of maneuvering, although some drivers might find it a wee bit artificial. In a nutshell, the Frontera feels sturdy and stable, making it the perfect cruiser for casual driving.
Budget buffs, this one's for you! The base model, starting at 24,000 euros, skimps on a few extras, but it does come standard with rear parking assistance and metallic paint. If you're looking for your first home on wheels, you'll probably be happy with the "GS" version, which comes with a touchscreen interface, two-tone paint, and a rearview camera. But be prepared to shell out 27,400 euros—the strong model will soon be kissing the 30,000 euro mark. So yeah, you get a whole lotta car for your bucks with Opel currently!
