Vauxhall Frontera Mk II 2.2 DTI (120 Hp)
People\'s Opinion
N/A / 5
Mk II Overview:
Vauxhall Frontera (Mk II). With 280 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. It has moderate fuel consumption (~10.8 l/100km). With a weight of 1780 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 15.7 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
Provides adequate, if unexciting, performance for an SUV. The diesel torque helps with low-speed pulling and off-road situations, but acceleration is leisurely.
Fuel Economy
Expected to offer significantly better fuel economy than the V6 petrol, making it a more sensible choice for those concerned with running costs.
Best Use Case:
Mixed driving, light towing, and drivers prioritizing fuel efficiency over outright speed.
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)
- • Affordable on the used market
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
