Opel Frontera B Sport 2.2 DTI (115 Hp) 4x4
People\'s Opinion
N/A / 5
B Sport Overview:
Opel Frontera (B Sport). With 260 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. It has moderate fuel consumption (~11.5 l/100km). With a weight of 1720 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 13.9 s). The top speed reaches 154 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
Offers adequate low-end torque for off-road excursions and decent highway cruising, though acceleration is leisurely. The 115 Hp diesel provides a robust feel for its class.
Fuel Economy
With a combined 9.2 l/100 km, it's a reasonable performer for a 4x4 SUV of this era, especially compared to its petrol counterpart. Expect higher urban consumption.
Best Use Case:
Mixed driving, light off-roading, and towing. Suitable for those needing a practical, economical (for its class) daily driver with 4x4 capability.
