Car Review Opel Frontera 2025

Review

I bought the 2025 Opel Frontera (1.2 Turbo Hybrid, 136 hp, automatic) three months ago, brand new from the dealership. The car impresses with its fuel economy — 5.5–6 liters in the city and on the highway, which is excellent for a crossover. The design is stylish, especially the new grille, and it gets a lot of attention. The cabin is spacious, seats are comfortable, the multimedia is responsive, and Apple CarPlay works flawlessly. It's easy to drive, the suspension is comfortable, though a bit stiff on potholes. There are a few drawbacks: the engine feels underpowered, and highway overtakes require planning. Noise insulation above 100 km/h could be better — tire and wind noise are noticeable. I plan to add extra insulation to the wheel arches. My trim lacks all-wheel drive, which would be useful for nature trips. Overall, it's a solid choice for city and short out-of-town trips, but if you want more driving dynamics, go for a more powerful version.
