OPEL Frontera Sport (1995 - 1998) Description & History

The 1995 upgrades brought forth an extended engine range as well as some minor body shell touches. Suspension was slightly improved as was the overall structure of the vehicle which was now available both as a soft top and a hardtop. The classic 2.0 injected petrol engine was added a 2.5 and a 2.8 Turbodiesel. Although the Diesel were better on rough terrain and pulling due to a significant torque increase, power output was only 4 hp greater than that of the '93 released model. However, Diesels were slightly more fuel efficient than the gasoline-powered versions.
