British car brand Vauxhall has brought back the iconic Frontera SUV, more than 20 years after production ceased. The new model is available in two versions: a fully electric variant with a range of up to 253 miles, and a petrol hybrid option.
The Frontera is expected to become Vauxhall's second best-selling car next year, as the company aims to reverse a sales slump since the turn of the decade. Deliveries are anticipated in autumn 2025, following orders that opened last year.
New Vauxhall boss Steve Catlin told Autocar: “My intention is to put Vauxhall back on the podium. That’s not an immediate aspiration that we’re going to deliver next year, but over the next few years.”
The Frontera boasts a spacious interior with a two-level boot offering up to 1,594 litres of storage with rear seats folded. An optional seven-seat layout is available. Inside, it features ergonomic seats, heated seats, two 10-inch screens, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and wireless phone pairing as standard.
Priced from just under £25,000, the Frontera is one of the more affordable electric SUVs. It is also available for £305 per month on a Personal Contract Hire with 6,000 miles per year. Catlin aims to return Vauxhall to the top three UK car brands, having slipped to fourth place behind Volkswagen, BMW, and Kia.
