Opel CEO Florian Huettl presents the new Frontera to the public for the first time.The electric SUV will be available in all-electric and hybrid versions in a 5-passenger configuration. Later, a 7-seat Frontera will join the lineup.

A few weeks ago, Opel released the first images of the new Frontera. Today, the new compact SUV celebrates its world premiere in Istanbul, Turkey. The all-new Opel five-passenger SUV will be available as the all-electric Frontera Electric for about 29,000 euros. The Frontera Hybrid will be available in Germany for around 24,000 euros including sales tax. 

During the presentation, the German brand also announced that the new Opel Frontera will not only be able to seat five people, but will be so spacious that it will also be available as a seven-seater in the future. 

The new Frontera is available as a hybrid with 48-volt technology or fully electric. With a starting price of around 24,000 euros, the Frontera Hybrid is equipped with a 74 kW (100 hp) 1.2-liter turbocharged gasoline engine developed specifically for hybrid use. This is combined with a 21 kW (28 hp) electric motor and an electrified six-speed dual-clutch transmission. The Frontera Hybrid will also be available with a 100 kW (136 hp) 1.2-liter turbocharged engine.

Customers in Germany who want to drive locally without emissions will soon be able to order the battery-electric Frontera Electric with a range of more than 300 kilometers (according to WLTP) for around 29,000 euros. As a "long range" version, the new Frontera Electric will be able to travel up to around 400 kilometers without stopping to recharge.

The Frontera's trim levels are also clearly laid out for customers. The newcomer will be available as Frontera or Frontera GS. Even the entry-level version is well equipped. The GS variant will also feature systems such as multimedia infotainment with a 10-inch color touchscreen and navigation, as well as a rear-view camera. Frontera customers can further customize their vehicle with two optional packages.

Opel is also making it easier to buy the new Frontera. The new Frontera will soon be the first Opel model that can be ordered digitally via a one-scroll experience. The product pages are optimized for the size of any mobile device, so users only have to scroll and click. In the future, they will be able to purchase the vehicle completely online from the comfort of their own home or, in the next step, from their local dealer.
