About Vauxhall Frontera Electric Car
The Vauxhall Frontera Electric is the all-electric version of Vauxhall’s affordable family SUV, sold as the Opel Frontera Electric across mainland Europe. The Frontera name is back as a practical, value-focused electric crossover – roomy, upright and easy to live with, aimed at families who want an electric SUV without the usual high price tag.
This Opel Frontera Electric is offered with two batteries. The standard 44 kWh version covers around 189 miles WLTP, while the new Frontera Electric Extended Range steps up to a 54 kWh battery and up to 253 miles. Both use the same 113 hp front motor with 125 Nm, so it is relaxed rather than quick – 0-62 mph takes around 12 to 13 seconds. The batteries use long-lasting LFP chemistry, and DC fast charging of up to 100 kW takes the car from 10 to 80 percent in roughly half an hour.
Where the Frontera Electric scores is space and value. You get a tall, boxy cabin, a large 460-litre boot (expanding to 1,600 litres), five seats and a simple, button-friendly dashboard with dual 10-inch screens. The Vauxhall Frontera Electric price starts from around GBP 22,495, with the Extended Range from about GBP 27,495 – genuinely cheap for an electric SUV. It is a UK and Europe model and is not sold in India, but in those markets the Frontera Electric is one of the most affordable, sensible electric family cars you can buy.
Trending news for Vauxhall Frontera Electric Car
The big Frontera news is the new Vauxhall Frontera Electric Extended Range. It swaps the standard 44 kWh battery for a larger 54 kWh pack, lifting the official WLTP range to up to 253 miles - around 67 miles more than the 44 kWh version. Orders are open, with customer deliveries expected from autumn, and it keeps the same 113 hp motor.
Just as important is the price: the Extended Range starts from around GBP 27,495 OTR, positioned under the UK Electric Car Grant threshold to keep it affordable. To squeeze out the extra miles, Vauxhall added efficiency tweaks including a new rear spoiler, under-car aero and eco tyres, while the cabin gets dual 10-inch screens and a redesigned steering wheel with more physical buttons.
Vauxhall Frontera Electric Car range and performance
The Frontera Electric is built for easy, affordable family motoring rather than speed. Both batteries use the same 83 kW (113 hp) front motor with 125 Nm, so the 44 kWh does 0-62 mph in about 12.1 seconds and the heavier 54 kWh Extended Range in around 13.0 seconds, with an 89 mph top speed.
Official WLTP range is around 189 miles for the 44 kWh and up to 253 miles for the Extended Range, with realistic real-world figures closer to 130 to 180 miles depending on conditions. The LFP battery chemistry is cheaper to produce and tends to last well over time.
Vauxhall Frontera Electric Car safety overview
The Frontera Electric comes with a solid set of driver-assistance features, including automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist with lane departure warning, driver drowsiness alert, speed sign recognition, and rear parking sensors with a camera. Cruise control and ISOFIX anchors are included.
Buyers should check the latest Euro NCAP information for the specific Frontera model year and trim, as the current electric version's rating can vary by test cycle and market.
