Vauxhall Frontera Mk II 2.2i (136 Hp)
People\'s Opinion
N/A / 5
Mk II Overview:
Vauxhall Frontera (Mk II). With 202 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. With a weight of 1722 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 13.4 s). The top speed reaches 161 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
A middle-ground petrol option, offering more power than the diesels but less than the V6. Performance is adequate for most situations, but it can feel strained when fully loaded.
Fuel Economy
Better than the V6, but still not particularly economical compared to modern SUVs. Expect moderate fuel consumption.
Best Use Case:
General purpose driving, urban and suburban use, for those who prefer petrol but find the V6 too thirsty.
Pros and Cons:
Pros:
- • Good off-road capability for its class
- • Spacious interior and large boot capacity
- • Robust and durable build quality
- • Strong towing capacity (especially V6 models)

Cons:
- • High fuel consumption for petrol engines
- • Dated interior design and materials
- • Ride quality can be firm and unrefined on-road
- • Some reliability concerns with specific components
- • Lack of modern safety features
