Video Summary
The key points from the video review are:* The Frontera is reintroduced as a compact family crossover, a departure from its previous rough and ready 4x4 image.
* It follows modern Vauxhall design cues, especially at the front, with a smooth visor grill and LED headlights.
* The letters on the back are spaced out, for a more premium look. The split taillights create width, while a two-tone section at the bottom acknowledges the old Frontera.
* There is no spare wheel on the back, a feature of the original models.
* The interior design has a focus on essentials, and is not soft-touch, but still doesn't feel cheap.
* The dash features twin-angled 10-inch display screens, with buttons for essentials like climate control and heated seats.
* Steering wheel controls are standard and easy to use. Wireless connectivity is available for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with wireless charging.
* The Frontera is larger than the Mokka, replacing the Crossland, and smaller than the 2024 Grandland.
* It has comfortable Grandland-like seats, with a narrow gap designed to take the pressure off the tailbone and offers substantial storage space.
* Rear seat legroom and headroom are good, and door bins and seat pockets are present. A good touch are mobile phone holders on seat backs, and two USB ports.
* Boot space is 460 liters, 110 more than the Mokka and 40 liters more than the Astra.
* With the seats folded flat, boot space increases to 1,600 liters, 315 liters more than the Astra.
* The roof rack can support 200kg.
* The electric version has a 113-horsepower motor, front-wheel drive, and a claimed 250-mile range. It rapid-charges at 100kW. There's also a 48V mild hybrid version.
* The mild hybrid has a 3-cylinder petrol engine. Fuel efficiency should be excellent, about 50 miles per gallon.
* The electric version is targeting a price point of under £30,000.
* It utilizes the new Smart Car platform, designed for cost-effectiveness and to be shared with the new Citroen eC3. Overall the Frontera is likely to be a good option for buyers.
