Opel Frontera A Sport 2.0i (115 Hp) 4x4
People\'s Opinion
N/A / 5
A Sport Overview:
Opel Frontera (A Sport). With 170 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. With a weight of 1696 kg, it falls in the mid‑range. All‑wheel drive provides excellent grip, ideal for off‑road use. Acceleration is relatively slow (0–100 km/h in 17.9 s). The top speed reaches 158 km/h. A sport utility vehicle offering higher ground clearance and versatile cargo space. Seating for 5 makes it ideal for daily use.
Performance Verdict
Adequate for light off-roading and general driving, but acceleration is sluggish, especially with the 4x4 system engaged.
Fuel Economy
High fuel consumption for its power output, making it less economical for daily use or longer journeys.
Best Use Case:
Light off-road / Rural driving
