OPEL Frontera Sport 1998 - 2004
⌖
The second Frontera generation launched in 1998 came a long with a series of improvements on Opel's unimpressive SUV. Rough edges were eliminated, having been replaced by smoother, curvier lines that gave the vehicle a sleek city appearance. Underpinnings were slightly re-adjusted while the engine range was completely renewed. The 2.0i was dropped for good and a 3.2 V6 was added to the line-up. All engines gained 4-valve cylinder heads and increased power output. The 2.5 and 2.8 Liter previous versions were also discarded in favor of the smoother running 2.2 L, available in both petrol and Diesel variants.
