Opel: The Frontera is coming back – fully electric
Even when he approached us heavily camouflaged on the Opel premises, we were surprised: Because the new electric Frontera will not simply be a Grandland X successor but is significantly larger, more "angular," and actually aligns more closely with the original Frontera than with the Grandland X in terms of off-road proportions. Opel refers to this as a "slightly more robust interpretation" of their design philosophy.
It is also expected to feature clever functions, akin to those driving successes for Dacia and Skoda currently. Simultaneously, it will be the first Opel production vehicle to carry the new "Blitz" as the brand logo, and: the new Frontera will also be available as a battery-electric variant from the start. The base, like the Peugeot 3008, is the new STLA Medium platform, which delivers 157 kW (210 hp) and is unlikely to offer the approximately 500 km WLTP range in the Opel.
The new Frontera is expected to stand out with its spaciousness and versatility, positioning itself as a counterpart to the Peugeot e-5008. In addition, Opel promises an "attractive price" likely to range between 45,000 and 50,000 euros. Opel CEO Florian Huettl explains:
“The name ‘Frontera’ is a perfect fit for our brand-new, exciting SUV. The new model will present itself with a confident character and be positioned at the heart of the market.”
The launch of the battery-electric versions of the new Frontera and the new Grandland this year marks another important step for Opel on its way to becoming a completely electric brand. Opel will then offer at least one battery-electric variant in each model range. What is interesting is the fact that Opel will be expanding its presence in the SUV sector: The Grandland will be the large compact SUV, while the Frontera will be positioned at the upper end of the mid-size segment, thus also targeting a completely new audience.
What does this mean?
Opel is aiming higher and expanding its SUV portfolio: In the future, the more spacious Frontera will be placed above the Grandland.
