Car Review Opel Frontera 2025

Review

A couple of months ago, I bought the 2025 Opel Frontera hybrid (1.2L, 136 hp) — and overall, I’m enjoying it. It looks fresh: new badge, glossy grille, LED lights — a beast on the road but without showing off.

Plenty of room up front, but in the back, if you’re over 1.80 m, it’s a bit tight. The trunk is huge: 460 liters for groceries and luggage, and with seats folded, up to 1600 liters. Dual 10-inch screens are impressive and responsive, and most importantly — physical climate buttons instead of glitchy touch menus.

Drives briskly, hybrid adds smoothness and saves fuel: around 6–7 L/100 km in the city, 5–6 L on the highway. The eDCT6 gearbox shifts almost seamlessly. The suspension is a bit firm over bumps, and above 100 km/h, wind and tire noise creep in.

Features: self-parking, rear camera, emergency braking — very handy in the city. Downsides? Pricey — starting at €24,000 for the base, and the top trim costs even more. I’d like a slightly softer suspension.

Overall, the 2025 Opel Frontera is a solid choice for those who want a stylish, efficient, and practical crossover for city and weekend trips. Not a true off-roader, but perfect for most needs.
