View dealThe Vauxhall Frontera is a five-door family SUV built around space and simplicity rather than speed. At 4.39 metres long, with five or seven seats depending on the version, it sits in Vauxhall's SUV line-up as the practical, no-fuss option.
It suits families and commuters who want a high driving position, a big boot and an easy automatic, without paying for performance they'll never use. Reviewers consistently describe it as comfortable and roomy, and consistently point out that the cabin materials feel built to a budget.
The choice is straightforward: one body style, two powertrains - a 1.2-litre turbo petrol or the electric Frontera - and two trims, GS and Ultimate.

The Frontera is Vauxhall's family SUV answer for people who care more about interior space than badge appeal. The name goes back to a rugged 1990s 4x4, but this one is a front-wheel-drive road car aimed squarely at families.
The numbers do most of the talking. Boot space runs from 370 to 460 litres with the rear seats up depending on the version, rising to between 1,400 and 1,600 litres folded, and every Frontera is covered by a 3-year/60,000-mile manufacturer warranty.
Road testers generally praise the ride comfort around town, the amount of head and legroom in the back, and the fact that Vauxhall kept physical climate controls. The criticism is consistent too: hard cabin plastics and some wind noise at motorway speeds.
Because the standard kit list covers what most families actually use, and a lease keeps you inside the manufacturer's 3-year/60,000-mile warranty for a typical contract. You choose the version, we arrange the funding, and you hand it back at the end.
Every Frontera comes with a digital instrument cluster, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, DAB digital radio, voice control, climate control on both trims, and an electric parking brake. Safety and assistance kit is standard across the range too: autonomous emergency braking, lane-keep assist, automatic high beam, LED headlights, rain-sensing wipers, a rear-view camera and rear parking sensors.
Practicality is the real argument. Seven seats are available on selected versions, braked towing runs to 1,250 kg on the strongest version, and the 2.67m wheelbase gives rear passengers more room than the car's 4.39m length suggests. If you're weighing up mileage, term and spec, our guide to choosing your car is a sensible starting point.
Pick the petrol if you tow, cover long or unpredictable miles, or want the option of a third row; pick the electric Frontera if you can charge at home or work and most of your driving is local. Both are automatic and front-wheel drive.
A 143bhp three-cylinder with 230Nm, a six-speed automatic and 0-62mph in 9.0 seconds. WLTP economy is 53.3mpg with CO2 of 119-120 g/km. Insurance sits in group 20-21. No charging to think about, and braked towing of up to 1,250 kg.
A 111bhp motor with a 44-54 kWh battery and WLTP range of up to 248 miles, so the version you choose matters. Rapid charging covers 20-80% in 26 minutes at 100 kW on the best version, or 2.9 hours at 11 kW on an 11 kW home or workplace charger. Insurance group 14-16.

There are two: GS covers the essentials most drivers ask for, and Ultimate adds comfort kit that matters most in winter. Both ride on 17-inch alloy wheels and both come with cloth upholstery.
GS brings 17-inch Groot diamond cut alloy wheels, Intelli LED headlights, the Multimedia Pure Panel Navigation system, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a leather effect steering wheel. It also has keyless entry and start, wireless phone charging, front parking sensors, blind-spot monitoring, climate control and power-folding door mirrors.
The GS is currently available from £302.99 a month.
Ultimate adds an Eco Leather steering wheel with cruise speed limiter controls, a heated steering wheel and rear privacy glass, plus heated front seats, roof rails and an auto-dimming rear-view mirror. It's the one to have if you park outside overnight and want the cabin warm quickly.
The Ultimate is currently available from £309.80 a month. Against the GS, that is currently £6.82/mo more expensive.
