Opel is opening a new chapter in the company's long and successful history: The Rüsselsheim-based automaker is today revealing the first images of the new Opel Frontera. The new SUV with the lightning bolt emblem, focused on exciting driving and spacious interior, will be available in a battery-electric version from the start, and customers will also be able to choose variants with 48-volt hybrid technology.
"With its combination of robust design, spacious interior, smart solutions and efficient drive systems, our new Opel Frontera will appeal to customers who want to stand out from the crowd. It is ideal for city and suburban environments, and at the same time offers our customers a new charging experience," said Opel CEO Florian Hittl.
The new Frontera impresses from the very first glance with its robust interpretation of Opel's bold and clean design philosophy. The steep front end and the unique front proportions of the new Frontera combine a functional and spacious interior with a very bold and solid, yet modern and expressive look. The new Frontera is the first Opel series model to feature the new lightning bolt emblem, which is proudly positioned in the center of the Opel Vizor element. The black visor gives the Frontera a unique identity and forms a unified design element with the smoothly flowing Eco LED headlights with automatic high beam and the central Opel lightning bolt symbol. The visual support for the visor is the trapezoidal cooling vent, which emphasizes the car's stable and robust stance. The well-known Opel wing-shaped daytime running lights shine in a modern interpretation in the new Frontera with three light units separated from each other by body-colored inserts. The side view allows you to appreciate the expressive C-pillar, which visually divides the spacious interior, while the expressive wheel arches and fenders firmly place the newcomer on the road, while giving it a strong and modern appearance.
Smartphone Station and Intelli-Seat
The modern look and feel also prevails in the interior, where thoughtful design merges with practicality. The wide horizontal decors on the instrument panel and doors visually expand the already airy interior. Also as eye-catching as the bold and elegant new steering wheel is the Opel-specific fully digital Pure Panel dashboard with two 10-inch displays and the multimedia system. To avoid any kind of digital stress, Opel consistently follows the philosophy of maximum comfort with minimum distraction, achieving this through a simple and clean user experience.
The new model's entertaining character is enhanced by a number of smart solutions. For example, charging mobile devices is now easier than ever before, thanks to a wireless charger with cooling system and two USB ports in the first and second rows of seats. Larger devices that usually have difficulty finding a suitable place in the cabin, such as a tablet, can now be safely stored in the center console and secured with an elastic strap. Other open storage compartments for everyday items have a rubberized interior lining that prevents rattling and objects from slipping. In addition, passengers in the second row of seats have pockets for smartphones built into the front seat backrests.
Spacious, efficient and smart
The Opel Frontera's expressive new design, thoughtful and fun solutions, as well as the easy choice between a fully electric or hybrid drivetrain, once again prove that the German brand takes its electrification promises seriously and is able to offer a suitable car to a very wide range of customers.
Opel is one of the largest car manufacturers in Europe and a leader in reducing CO2 emissions through a broad electrification offensive. The company was founded in 1862 in Rüsselsheim, Germany, by Adam Opel. It has been producing cars since 1899. Opel is part of the global group Stellantis NV, which was created for the new era of sustainable mobility. Together with its British sister brand Vauxhall, the company is represented in more than 60 countries worldwide and continues to enter new international markets. Opel is currently consistently implementing its electrification strategy to ensure sustainable success and meet customer demands for future mobility. By 2024, every Opel model will also be available in an electrified version. Starting in 2028, Opel will focus entirely on electric vehicles in Europe.
