Enhanced Battery and Performance
Opel has tailored the Frontera Electric to meet diverse driving needs. The standard version, equipped with a 44 kWh battery and 83 kW (113 hp) motor, delivers up to 305 kilometers of range (WLTP) with energy consumption of 18.2-18.5 kWh/100 km. This suits urban environments where shorter trips dominate. For those requiring more distance, the ‘Extended Range’ model boosts capacity by 10 kWh, enabling longer journeys without frequent stops. Both electric variants earn an A CO2 label, emphasizing their environmental benefits.
Hybrid options provide alternatives for varied preferences. The Frontera Hybrid with 107 kW (145 hp) system output consumes 5.2-5.3 liters/100 km and emits 118-120 g/km CO2 (D label). The 81 kW (110 hp) hybrid matches this efficiency at 5.2-5.3 liters/100 km and 119-120 g/km CO2. These models ensure flexibility while keeping costs low.
Practical Design and Features
Every Frontera variant boasts a rugged design with high practicality. It offers load capacities up to 1,600 liters and a 60:40 split rear bench for adaptable storage. Rear passengers enjoy ample space thanks to upright sides and a large rear window. Clever innovations include a standard smartphone station for using mobile devices as infotainment hubs, flexible retaining straps, smartphone pockets in backrests, and an optional wireless charger.
Opel continues its tradition of affordable ergonomics with patented Intelli-Seats, featuring a central recess for enhanced comfort for the driver and front passenger. These elements make the Frontera ideal for family outings or daily errands, blending functionality with modern convenience.
Simplifying Electric Mobility
To encourage adoption, Opel bundles the Electric All In package with purchases of the Frontera Electric ‘Extended Range’. This comprehensive offer covers home charging solutions, navigation tools for electric routes, and extended support services. It includes up to three mobile charging assists per year and roadside aid for eight years, addressing common concerns about battery life and reliability.
This initiative aligns with Opel’s commitment to accessible electromobility, making the transition seamless for private customers in markets like Germany and Switzerland.
