Vauxhall Frontera Mk II 2.2 DTI (116 Hp)
People\'s Opinion
N/A / 5
Mk II Overview:
Vauxhall Frontera (Mk II). With 260 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. It has moderate fuel consumption (~11.6 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 14 s). The top speed reaches 157 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
Similar to the 120 Hp variant, this diesel engine delivers sufficient power for daily tasks, though acceleration is modest. It's more about torque than speed.
