Introducing the new Vauxhall Frontera
If your next family car needs the space and ride height of an SUV without feeling oversized on UK roads, the new Vauxhall Frontera is built for the job. It brings the Frontera name back with a modern, straightforward choice of powertrains: Hybrid for easy day-to-day running, or fully electric for zero tailpipe emissions whilst driving.
Step inside and it's set up to make the routine easier. You get useful cabin storage, a clean digital layout, and trim levels that feel clearly separated, so it's simpler to choose what suits you.
When you're ready to see it in person, you can always book a test drive with Vertu and get a proper feel for the driving position, the cabin space, and the Frontera's everyday comfort.

New Vauxhall Frontera safety features
- Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) to help reduce the risk of a front-end impact
- Lane Keep Assist to help you stay centred on longer A-road and motorway drives
- Traffic sign recognition to keep speed limits clear in your eyeline
- Driver drowsiness alert to prompt a break on longer journeys
- Rear parking sensors to reduce low-speed scrapes
- Reversing camera to improve visibility when reversing off a driveway
- Blind spot monitoring (available on higher specifications)
New Vauxhall Frontera practicality and space
- Boot space is set up for real family use. In five-seat form, you get around 460 litres with the rear seats up, then up to around 1,600 litres with the rear seats folded (version dependent).
- If you choose the 7-seat option on the Hybrid GS (and certain Hybrid specs), you add a third row that suits children and occasional shorter trips. With all seats in place, boot space is reduced (figures commonly quoted are around 370 litres in 5-seat mode on 7-seat versions, and very limited space with the third row in use).
- Intelli-Seat Technology supports comfort on longer drives. The special slot in the front seats helps relieve pressure around the tailbone, so stop-start commuting and motorway stints both feel less tiring.
- A family-friendly second row keeps fitting child seats straightforward, with ISOFIX on the outer rear seats, plus a fold-and-tumble seat function on 7-seat versions to help access the third row.
New Vauxhall Frontera tech and convenience
- Innovative cabin storage keeps small items under control. The Flex-Strap helps secure a tablet, so it doesn't slide around when you brake or turn, and passengers can settle in without juggling screens.
- A wireless charging pad keeps your phone topped up without trailing cables. Some specs describe a cooled wireless charging pad; availability can vary, so it's worth matching this to the exact car you choose.
- Rear-seat smartphone pockets give passengers a simple place for phones, so devices stay off the floor and out from under feet.
- A clear digital setup (commonly a 10-inch driver display and 10-inch touchscreen on higher specs) keeps navigation, media, and key controls easy to find, with wireless smartphone mirroring available on many specifications.

New Vauxhall Frontera FAQs
Is the new Vauxhall Frontera in a low insurance group?
Insurance groups vary by powertrain and specification. As a guide, Frontera Electric is listed in group 15E for Design and 16E for GS, while Ultimate is shown as TBA in some listings. Hybrid versions can differ, so it's best to confirm with a quote based on the exact trim, mileage, and driver profile.
Is a fixed or flexible servicing plan better for a new Vauxhall Frontera?
A fixed plan can suit drivers who like predictable costs, especially if you cover steady annual mileage. A flexible plan can be a better fit if your mileage changes year to year and you want servicing based around the car's needs. Either way, choosing a plan built around your driving pattern keeps ownership simple, and you can speak to Vertu about Vauxhall servicing support.
Is the new Vauxhall Frontera easy to park in tight spaces?
For a family SUV, it stays manageable in tighter spaces thanks to parking aids like rear sensors and a reversing camera (higher specs can add extra assistance). In everyday use, that means less guesswork reversing into a supermarket bay, plus more confidence when parallel parking on residential streets.
Is the warranty cover on a new Vauxhall Frontera generous?
New Vauxhall cover is typically three years, with unlimited mileage in the first year and then a mileage limit in years two and three. If you go electric, the high-voltage battery cover is commonly listed as eight years/100,000 miles, with a capacity retention promise (terms apply). Always confirm the latest warranty details at the point of order.
Is Design, GS, or Ultimate the right Frontera trim for me?
Design keeps things simple and value-led. GS is the trim that makes sense for drivers who want extra comfort upgrades and, on Hybrid versions, the option of a third row for children. Ultimate suits drivers who want the most complete equipment list and extra cold-weather convenience on certain specs.
Are the tech features of the new Vauxhall Frontera easy to use?
The layout is designed to be straightforward: key controls sit on clear screens, and wireless smartphone mirroring on many specs keeps familiar apps close to hand. The storage touches also help in daily use, since the Flex-Strap, phone pockets, and wireless charging area reduce clutter and keep devices from sliding around.
