Opel is working on an upcoming SUV with an emphasis on roominess, while maintaining a compact size. This vehicle, which would have everything to take over from the Crossland, however takes its name from a former all-terrain vehicle of the brand. The Frontera is thus making its comeback in 2024, not in the form of a rebadged Isuzu 4×4 this time, but as an SUV in the contemporary sense of the term, in front-wheel drive only.
The 2024 Opel Frontera is now shown in images, while waiting for more details on its technical sheet. For example, we do not know how much it measures, even if we can estimate its length at approximately 4.40 m, between segments B and C.
A family resemblance with the next Citroën C3 Aircross
If its black “vizor” front face is typical of Opel, the profile of the new Frontera is more reminiscent of Citroën productions. And for good reason, it is actually a cousin of the next C3 Aircross. The two models will be based on the Citroën C3 Aircross produced in India and Brazil and should therefore be based on the STLA Smart Car platform.
Finally, the two-level rear lights are reminiscent of those of the Hyundai Creta city SUV, intended for emerging markets.
The interior is not very original, with two 10″ screens integrated into their extension. One is dedicated to the instrumentation and the other to infotainment.
Unlike the next Citroën C3 Aircross, the new Opel Frontera does not announce any seven-seater version. Opel, on the other hand, communicates a trunk volume of 460 l, which increases to 1600 l by folding the 60/40 rear seat.
The SUV will be offered with a 48 V hybrid offer as well as in a 100% electric version, like its cousin from Citroën. The Opel model is expected to go on sale in the fall of 2024. Thanks to the use of an economical platform, we can expect relatively affordable prices.
