The Opel Frontera is back, but forget everything you remember about the rugged 4x4 from the 90s. Is reviving this legendary name for a budget-friendly, family SUV a brilliant move or a risky gamble?
In today's episode, I’m testing the all-new Frontera in its 7-seater GS version with a 145 hp hybrid powertrain. This car aims to be the ultimate answer for families looking for maximum space without a premium price tag. But is it really "as much car as most of us will ever need"?
Join me for a test drive where we’ll find out:
The 7-Seater Mystery: Can a 4.4-meter SUV actually fit more than just groceries in the third row?
The New 1.2 Hybrid: How does the successor to the infamous PureTech engines perform, and can it really average below 5 L/100km in the city?
Budget Rivalry: Is the Frontera a true "Dacia Jogger killer," or does "budget" come with too many compromises?
Back to Basics: Why the lack of a central screen in the base version might actually be a good thing, and how physical buttons feel in 2026.
Join me for the test and drive of the Opel Frontera—a car that doesn't pretend to be an off-roader anymore, but might surprise you exactly where you least expect it.
