I really wish car makers would put a power supply for a dash cam up in the rear mirror area! Would save alot of hassle with cables!
-
"My cheeks are satisfied thus far." Every Fully Charged EV review should include a Cheek Satisfaction Rating from this point forward.
-
So now I have the choice of the Jeep Avenger, the Fiat 600e, the Citroen e-C3, the Alfa Romeo Junior, and the Vauxhall Frontera. And I can buy all 5, and still have the same damn car. I'm convinced stellantis is one day gonna kill off individual brands and just call them "The Stellantis 001" or something dumb
-
Well done Vauxhall/Opel for having buttons and switches!
-
The Vauxhall design language: it's another Citroen ë-C3
-
So £30,000 is cheap these days. Good to know.
-
It's not a real Frontera unless the only way to get fresh air inside, is to wind down the windows.
-
The only thing Vauxhall is the badging!
-
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
-
"Lend me your ears". Who do you think I am, Van Gogh?
-
Good job Vauxhall on adding the buttons,j I hope other makes get inspired.
-
When did £30k become affordable? Strange days.
-
Last Frontera I had was the short wheelbased 4x4 and it was a blast offroad. Have they forgotten their roots or will this be ok with chunky tires, mountain climbing and the occasional submersion?
-
Lane assist button and physical ventilation switches and buttons are a big step forward!
-
Great a box on wheels that looks like it came straight from 2004. Lovelyz
-
Any designer that thinks cars don't need physical lane keep assist off button needs to come drive on rural Norfolk roads and see how great it is at firing you into oncoming traffic I love this "competitive" price well depends what it's competitive with doesn't it? Kia Niro totally different class than this other than size daft comparison this has got to be closer to £20k than 30 especially as it'll be fully loaded with vauxhall scratchy plastics lol Also that screen looks almost too angled away from the passenger. When I'm driving if I want something done I don't want to stop, I don't want to crash if its more than one touch I want the passenger to be able to program the satnav etc so maybe it's the camera angle or the reproduction nature but just looks too tilted away like it's a taxi meter
-
Good presentation! You have a pleasing voice and appearence!
-
I think we need a realistic range measurement. In a lot of the reviews Ive seen, the difference between WLTP and real world range are 20% or more different (and not in a good way). Having a limited charging rate isnt helping (although I guess its keeping costs down). As for the Frontera, aside from the downsides Jack has noted, looks like a sensible car aimed at sensible people. I applaud the use of real buttons. Use muscle memory to switch them instead of taking your eyes off the road to fiddle with menus with touchy areas that are not quite large enough to hit the first time.. (thats why having your co-pilot able to see the screen helps if you dont have the buttons).
-
Stellantis generic mid size electric SUV?
-
Great stuff...thank you
