What Happened
Opel has expanded its Frontera SUV line-up with a new entry-level Start trim and a new 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine. The Frontera Start is priced from €21,990 (RRP including VAT in Germany) – €2,750 less than before – and Opel says no other car in its current range costs less. It can also be ordered as a hybrid or all-electric variant, giving customers a choice of powertrains.
“With the new Frontera Start, we are expanding our range to include an attractive entry into the Opel brand – no other Opel car is currently available at a lower price! Our everyday hero is perfect for anyone looking to buy a flexible, spacious and, at the same time, particularly affordable SUV.”
