The Opel Frontera nameplate is making a comeback! After a hiatus, Opel has resurrected the Frontera name for a new, third-generation SUV aimed at the growing electric vehicle market.
The most significant change is the shift towards electrification. Opel will offer the Frontera in a battery-electric version, catering to drivers seeking a sustainable and eco-friendly option. While details about the battery size and range haven’t been officially revealed, expect it to be competitive with other electric SUVs in its segment.
Opel will come with gasoline engine but for those people who still want some level of electrification, Opel will also offer a mild-hybrid variant. This combines a traditional gasoline engine with a small electric motor, resulting in improved fuel efficiency compared to a standard gasoline-only powertrain.
The new Frontera adopts a bold and modern design language. Expect a prominent grille, sharp headlights, and a high ground clearance, hinting at its off-road capabilities.
Opel has focused on creating a comfortable and spacious cabin. The interior is expected to feature high-quality materials and offer ample legroom and headroom for passengers. A minimalist design approach is likely, with a focus on a large touchscreen infotainment system and a digital instrument cluster for a modern feel.
Unlike the previous generations, which were primarily sold in Europe and Asia, the new Frontera has global aspirations. Opel hasn’t confirmed specific regions yet, but it could potentially compete in North America. The official unveiling of the third-generation Opel Frontera is expected to take place on April 12, 2024. Launch details haven’t been confirmed yet, but a late 2024 or early 2025 release in select markets seems likely.
