Vauxhall Frontera pricing: parity for EV and ICE models

Vauxhall has confirmed pricing for the Frontera, its new compact SUV.

In an industry first, the car maker has applied the same list price to electric and petrol-powered models.

The Frontera joins Vauxhall's line-up between the Mokka and Grandland. Prices start at £23,495.

It is offered with a petrol hybrid or a fully electric powertrain.

The Frontera Hybrid has a 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine developed specifically for hybrid use. This operates in combination with an electrified six-speed dual clutch transmission, so that fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are significantly lower compared to a conventionally powered model. The Frontera Hybrid is available with an output of 100PS or 136PS.

The Frontera Electric is based on a new Stellantis platform and uses a 113PS electric motor. With a 44kWh battery, it offers a range of up to 186 miles (WLTP).

In 2025, a Long Range version - capable of up to 248 miles - will join the line-up.

James Taylor, managing director, Vauxhall, said: “The New Frontera is our new family-size SUV, offering customers innovative and practical electric mobility at an affordable price. Highly flexible with up to seven seats, spacious, and with a choice of hybrid and electric powertrains, we’re confident that Frontera will appeal to new and existing audiences as well as sit very well in our revised SUV line-up in between Mokka and the forthcoming All-New Grandland.”

The launch of the new model marks the return of the Frontera name that was originally used on an SUV in the 90s.

The new Frontera will replace the Vauxhall Crossland. It features Vauxhall's signature Visor grille, which integrates with the front headlights. It has a boxy appearance which benefits interior space.

Vauxhall said the new model offers more than 460 litres of luggage space in the boot – with the seats folded down, the capacity increases to up to 1,600 litres.

The car's interior features Pure Panel, like the Astra. This combines the digital instrument cluster and infotainment touchscreen into one panoramic panel.

The new Frontera will be available from launch with a choice of two trim levels. Entry-level Design models offer 16-inch black steel wheels with wheel arch cladding and black grained bumpers. There is also automatic headlights and wipers, rear parking sensors, a rear-view parking camera, cruise control with speed limiter, lane keep assist, traffic sign recognition and driver attention alert. Customers can also choose an optional white roof that comes with 16-inch white steel wheels.

GS models come with 17-inch alloy wheels, body-coloured bumpers and a silver skid plate. They also feature a black roof with tinted rear windows, front parking sensors, climate control, LED taillights and power folding mirrors.

Hybrid GS models offer an optional seven-seat configuration with two-way adjustable headrests and a ‘fold and tumble’ seat mechanism that provides easy access to the third row.
