In every variant: Robust appearance and many practical features as standard

Striking design of new Opel Frontera makes it stand out immediately. As first production model, every variant of Opel Frontera proudly bears new Opel Blitz emblem in centre of Opel Vizor brand fascia. Prominent wheel arches and sills as well as eye-catching C-pillar underline robust character. Modern looks with a focus on the essentials continue seamlessly in the interior. Driver and passengers look at a cockpit with a newly designed steering wheel and two 10-inch widescreens. Opel Frontera also offers many practical features as standard, including the innovative smartphone station.

Suitability for journeys is a top priority for new Opel Frontera. At front, driver and front passenger can, if desired, sit on new patented Intelli-Seats with a slot in middle that relieves pressure on tailbone. More than 450 litres of luggage can be stored in boot; with seats folded down even up to 1,600 litres. And those who want to spend night outdoors can simply order new Opel Frontera with optional roof rails and a roof tent with ladder specially designed for the SUV. After arriving at its destination, Opel Frontera can shoulder up to 240 kilogrammes on its roof.

Focus on essentials: Two drivetrain concepts, two trims, easy to order

Intuitive, accessible and focused on essentials: Opel meets these requirements in every respect with  new Frontera – from choice of drivetrain to equipment options and ordering process.

New Opel Frontera is available either as a hybrid with 48-volt technology or fully electric. At a starting price of around €24,000, Opel Frontera Hybrid has a 74 kW (100 hp) 1.2-litre gasoline turbo engine developed specifically for hybrid use. This operates in combination with a 21 kW (28 hp) electric motor and an electrified six-speed dual clutch transmission, so that fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are significantly lower compared to a conventionally powered model. In addition, Opel Frontera Hybrid will also be available with a 100 kW (136 hp) 1.2 turbo engine.

Customers in Germany who want to travel locally emissions-free can soon order battery-electric Opel  Frontera Electric with a range of more than 300 kilometres (according to WLTP 2) for around €29,000. As a “long range” version, new Opel Frontera Electric will be able to travel up to around 400 kilometres (WLTP 2) without stopping to charge.

Frontera's equipment trims are equally clearly laid out for customers. Newcomer will be available either as Opel Frontera or as Opel Frontera GS. Even entry-level version is extensively equipped. GS variant will also have systems such as multimedia infotainment with a 10-inch colour touchscreen and navigation as well as a rear-view camera. Opel Frontera customers can further customise their vehicle with two optional packages.

Opel is also making the purchasing process for the new Frontera clearer and easier. New Frontera will soon be first Opel model that can be ordered digitally via a “one-scroll experience”.
