New Vauxhall Frontera review: budget SUV comeback that actually makes sense

The new Vauxhall Frontera offers a modern SUV available with mild hybrid or EV powertrains, including an optional third row of seats for enhanced family versatility.
Reborn under Stellantis ownership, the Frontera replaces 1990s flaws with modern technology and functions as a practical, family-friendly workhorse rather than a retro off-roader.
The minimalist cabin includes physical climate controls and a split-level boot floor, providing up to 1,600 litres of luggage space with the seats down.
On the road, the SUV features communicative steering and minimal body roll; the mild hybrid motor provides useful torque boost despite a lethargic automatic gearbox.
Vauxhall offers a 1.2-litre mild hybrid engine or an EV variant; the EV's 54kWh battery may not achieve the 247 miles Vauxhall's WLTP people reckon it will.
