Opel has announced the return of the Frontera nameplate, making its comeback later this year on a new fully-electric SUV model.
The new Frontera will be available as a battery-electric vehicle from the off, and will be the first production car from the German brand to bear the new Opel Blitz emblem.
The first proper images of the car along with more detailed information will be revealed by Opel in the coming weeks.
According to Opel, the new Frontera “will come with a high level of space and versatility and thus appeal to customers with an active lifestyle and families alike”.
“The newcomer will also continue Opel’s long-standing tradition of bringing affordable mobility to a wide range of customers by being offered at an attractive price,” Opel added.
The arrival of the battery-electric variant of the new Frontera, along with the launch of the all-electric version of the next-generation Grandland, also scheduled for this year, is said by the brand to mark an important milestone in its transition to becoming a fully electric brand.
By 2028, Opel has said it will offer “at least one” battery-electric variant in each carline.
The wide range of battery-electric Opel models today already extends from the Rocks Electric quadricycle, the Corsa Electric, the Mokka Electric, the Astra Electric, and the Astra Sports Tourer Electric, to the new Combo Electric and Zafira Electric people carriers.
In addition, battery-electric versions of the entire commercial vehicle portfolio are already available today - including the new Combo Electric, the new Vivaro Electric, and the new Movano Electric.
