Video Summary
Here's a summary of the YouTube video review:The Opel Frontera e-SUV ranks as one of the top 10 most affordable electric cars. With a vehicle length of nearly 4.40 meters, it’s relatively long for its predominantly small car class. The Frontera E costs just under 29,000 euros, and it has earned the seventh spot in the list of the most inexpensive EVs available. The Opel Visor front gives it a distinctive, modern look. With its cladded flanks, the Opel attempts to imitate an off-road car. There is only front-wheel drive, and an all-wheel drive version isn’t available because the platform isn’t designed for that.
There are hard plastics in the cabin, combined with artificial applications and recycled fabrics. The processing quality is good. No piano lacquer is applied. For around 2,000 euros more, the vehicle is fully fitted inside. The comfort package adds Intelli-seats, automatic climate control, and a heated steering wheel. The Technology package brings a touchscreen. In lieu of a large touchscreen, a smartphone station is offered, where one can use their phone for infotainment. A manual trunk hatch is installed.
The double-floored trunk has a standard volume of 460 liters, and when folded down it has 1,600 liters. With 240 kilograms of static roof load, even a small off-road adventure is not a problem. The electric motor has 113 electric PS and 125 Newton meters. The e-SUV accelerates to 100 kilometers per hour in about 12 seconds.
A lithium-iron-phosphate battery (LFP) is used, instead of a nickel-manganese-cobalt battery (NMC). With a full charge, the car travels around 300 km. The range is said to be around 244 kilometers under optimal conditions. With fast charging, the car can charge from 20 to 80 percent in 26 minutes, with a 100 kW charge. Otherwise, with a wall box, you can charge with 7.4 kW (but an optional 3-phase charger for 11 kW can be selected). The steering is very direct at low speeds. In total, it’s a good car for everyday driving. From next year, there will be a long-range version available with 400 kilometers of driving range.
