FIRST LOOK: New Vauxhall Frontera all-electric SUV | Electrifying

#newfrontera #vauxhallfrontera #electriccars

The 19 are back in fashion. And to commemorate, has actually brought a famous name back from the dead. The Frontera has been born-again as a family-sized, big worth SUV for a brand-new generation– and in this video, we're going to reveal you around.

The old was a 19 success. It may not have what you 'd call a cult following however for years it was the best-selling SUV in the UK. So it makes sense that the name has actually been born-again for this, a new electrical cars and truck which has an emphasis on space and worth.

It changes the Crossland in the business's line up, sitting in between Mokka and next-generation which will mature a bit. You want figures? The Frontera is 4380mm long, making it longer than a Mokka and nearly similar to an Astra. However in regards to area, well that blocky shape implies it's substantial inside.

What makes it actually intriguing is the rate. Although it's not been verified yet, it's anticipated that the Frontera will be around the exact same rate as a Mokka– so the electrical version will begin at around ₤ 27,000. That makes it a great deal of automobile for the money.

The Frontera uses the majority of the very same bits underneath as the Jeep Avenger, which is no bad thing. That implies a battery size of 51kWh and a series of around 250 miles, with 100kW quick charging. But the motor has had a downgrade from 154bhp to 111bhp. That's not a lot in a car of this size. An MG ZS has 154bhp, for instance. It does beat the 93bhp of the cheapest BYD Dolphin, however the ₤ 30,000 Dolphin has 201bhp.

Inside there is Vauxhall's familiar 'Pure Panel' cockpit with 2 10-inch screens and Multimedia infotainment system. The business is also introducing an 'Intelli-Seat' function in the front seats, with a slot that alleviates the pressure on the tailbone like on bicycle saddles. It is said to improve convenience even throughout long journeys.

There are other developments too. There's a cooled cordless charger to avoid your phone getting too hot and larger devices such as tablets can be securely stored in the centre console with a flexible strap to hold them in place.

    Would buy one if it had a cassette player and wiring for my car phone. Oh and a radio that gets long wave

    Looks OK, size seems reasonable, will be interesting to see how it is on the road, the thing is with power in a EV, it’s not the same as an ICE, so that lower power might not make a huge differance to everyday driving.

    Ah yes, I first watch Electrifying’s review then jump straight to the Fully charged show review , and then Autotrader to finish things off. and the cycle repeats🔄

      Ha ha!! I pretty much do the same!! 😅. I’ve the Fully Charged Show review lined up in my Watch Later list. They have the best balance IMO.

    I’ve understood it’s on the ‘Smart Car’ (not to be confused with the Smart brand) platform shared with the new C3 and C3 Aircross as opposed to the e-CMP platform of the Avenger (and a billion other models), but I understand by sharing bits with the Avenger you probably meant the batteries and such parts?

    Seats with a fart trough, excellent idea. No fun farting in any other car as the seat soaks up the pong! Now it can be shared with all occupants 😂

    Someone who is 5ft 6 (and a half) telling you how spacious a car is has the same credibility as a supermodel telling you she doesn’t eat much. Draft in a 6ft tall mate & show us their seating position.

      The average height for a woman in the UK is, apparently, about 5ft 4in. The average height for a man is about 5ft 9in. That means 5ft 6in is about average for a UK person.

      Nicola obviously didn’t meet Jack this time, she did borrow him for the last review they met on! I should imagine he’s in high demand.😄

      This channel often does draft in the cameraman if a car is particularly spacious or not. So Nicola’s opinion on space is justified

      As this car has passed the ‘Jack test’ it shows that somebody 5ft 6(and a half) is perfectly capable of working out it is spacious.

    Citroën C3 Aircross with a different badge 😅

      I hope not it’s not exactly pretty! This Frontera is way over-priced and very bland.

    Nice quality video.
    Love that piano black and all touch-no buttons are on the decline.
    OEMs need to keep this up.
    For what it is it’s quite good looking, and the prices are going in the right direction, maybe not going fast enough?

    Thanks for the video and presentation with a smile
    From the front/side, i thought it was the Red and Black Citroën ë-C3. . . . .
    But from the rear, you can see it has an extra small “window” behind the rear door panel, and more “overhang” behind the charging port.
    And the Citroën ë–C3 . . . . .has the same 113hp motor and 100kWh charging, same steering wheel with identical form and buttons, identical 2–part foldable rear seats.
    I guess Stellantis is using the good parts in all brands.
    With just over 4 meters, and 320 liter boot size, the Citroën is around 30 cm shorter than this new Frontera. But also really a lot cheaper.
    Do you know if this Frontera has a LFP battery or an NMC battery?

      er nope, this is the same car as the 2024 Citroen C3 Aircross. I’m looking forward to the Electrifying C3 Aircross review as if that’s somehow a Citroen even though this one’s somehow a Vauxhall.

    Does it have a leather seats option for people with dust mite allergy?

    No, sorry, the gap in those seat cushions only tells me one thing…. the seat designer suffered with hemorrhoids😉

    Hard to believe this channel only has 129K subscribers! Your videos are far more interesting and entertaining than anything on Fully Charged…

    This looks like a great practical BEV option for sensible money. What I cannot fathom is why an Astra BEV is £38k

    It’s achieved one thing: It’s made the original Frontera look chunky and fun.

    Those comfort front seats are an interesting decision. For someone who has had lower back issues for a few decades like me this could well be a deal maker. There is also a plus side that farts don’t get trapped in the seat and cause it to rot. I quite like the car but that power of the motor might be an issue, I guess a test drive is a must as it should be an all cars ideally.

    This car ticks all the boxes for me. It has the right size and practicality. No huge, expensive and inefficient wheels gets a yes from me. No piano black is a DOUBLE YES! Even better it also has simple buttons to disable annoying lane keeping and alarms. And that does it, I’m buying one if they price it right (or rather an Opel badged one since I live in Mainland Europe).
    Btw. 111 bhp is more than enough to get you from A to B. You don’t want to drive fast in a boxy EV anyway, that will just be time and money wasted at a charger.
