"With its rugged n, spaciousness, smart features, and efficient drivetrains, our new Opel Frontera will appeal to many customers who want to stand out," says Opel CEO Florian Huettl. "It's perfect for city and suburban life, offering a convenient recharging experience for our customers."

The new Frontera offers more than 460 litres of luggage space with the back seats up, and up to 1 600 litres with the seats folded down. Customers can also opt for functional roof rails to maximize cargo options.

Opel is keeping Mum about the actual petrol/hybrid option but a good guess would the 1,2-litre turbo-charged PureTech engine currently in the Corsa and Stellantis, Opel’s parent company, has not made any comitmenet about what, or when, for the local market.
