This latest model will be sitting on Stellantis’ ‘Smart Car’ Platform, and is completely different to the old Frontera. Cameron Richards reports.
The Frontera nameplate hasn’t been used on a Vauxhall since the original car went out of production way back in 2004. Since then, the company has focused on its practical family MPVs and SUVs.
Vauxhall now offers every model in its range with a choice of petrol, hybrid and electric power and the Frontera is no different. Vauxhall also offers the Frontera with a hybrid powertrain that comes with 48V technology. Available with two power outputs, it gets a 1.2-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol with an electric motor that produces either 101bhp or 138bhp.Small SUVs never feel that special to drive and the Frontera doesn’t differentiate in any shape or form.
The hybrid version feels a little more lively due to it weighing less than the electric variant and turns into corners better, making it have a slightly more characterful driving dynamics. The ‘Flex strap’ is located around the front cup holders and is a handy little device that allows you to fasten and secure larger items into the storage area.
