All Stellantis cars are the same. It's getting very boring and bland.

@@Mike606SI have a Peugeot e208 - nice car. However I have to agree that Stellantis cars are getting more and more bland and are massively over-priced. Mines a company car so that doesn’t matter to me , but I wouldn’t buy one privately.

why electric only , sales are slumping as people know it’s a scam.

[@user-iz8hk1ww7i]

I think this reviewer is one of the best as he is not afraid to point out the negatives as well as giving praise when the product deserves it. Well done - too many other reviewers produce videos that increasingly have the feel of an advert. So far, this product to me is disappointing - it resembles a larger version the new Citroen C3.

[@alanwayte432]

The Original May have been of the Pace, but they use to be everywhere back in the day

[@lungaswazi9194]

It inspired the Fortuner we see today

[@piglet5287]

Okay it's another Stellantis 200 mile box, but I quite like its simple, unpretentious style. Vauxhall aren't claiming some sort of heritage like Jeep and Alfa do for their versions of the Stellantis box, and they aren't flashy like Peugeot. And it's cheaper. Fair play to the Frontera

[@welshman64]

i’m glad. let’s hope it’s better then the old one.

[@toyotaprius79]

Remember when we were supposed to get the Citroën Oli, but we ended up with this rebadged Indian market crossover? 😑

[@Ambienfinity]

If they get the pricing right, the legacy name may help.

[@surreyguysurrey4898]

Certain model names should never be revived. The Frontera was an awful awful car.

@@surreyguysurrey4898 True of many more expensive cars as well. People forget the problems, over time. That's the psychology of legacy.

[@vp272]

If this sits above the mokka and below the new bigger grandland, it doesn’t look big enough for most families in terms of boot space and shoulder room

[@aciddiver1978]

A good opputunity for some weight loss then👍

[@johntrinick712]

I had one of the original fronteras, an excellent car, despite the comments in the motoring press. From the days when they were called 4x4s and not SUVs. The term SUV is rather odd, as generally they are neither sporty nor utilitarian!

[@global_nomad.]

Dont understand why car brands use old names that only have poor associations - is it that hard to create a new name for a completely different type of car? Renault at least had good reasons to keep the Scenic name even as it went from mpv to suv.

[@1981zayn]

Will the Cavelier also make a come back 😅

[@wainerollins2587]

😂 I have no doubt it will return as an electric SUV.

Please Stelantis close some brands. It's horrible view the same car x 3 or 4 times 😔

[@WEZ4136]

I don’t get why you persist on comparing this with the crossland, the frontera was more along the size of grandland, are you saying that it is now far smaller than its namesake, because that really sounds like its what you’re trying to say but not quite managing it through typical journalistic polite mumbling.

[@ijoseluis]

Did you say "new"? Is this the "new" according to Stellantis? Clones. Poor Alfa "Milano-Junior".

[@mikeprostayko2951]

I wonder if somebody will drive one of these to the top of Snowdon and abandon it ?

[@UltraJaff]

Anyone remember the Zaphira or Mariva?

[@cabottaxi]

[@lungaswazi9194]

[@mandyarnage2530]

This Stellantis stuff is getting super boring now… just regurgitation of parts in all different models… particularly Vauxhall, just the same in different sizes

[@aciddiver1978]

I am a fan of Opel, but i would have to agree on this. And only electric all the way, will probably be their downfall.

[@neuro.weaver]

It's basically a re-badged Peugeot 2008 with a properly placed steering wheel. Too bad Stelantis made it only electric not to compete with the awkward Peugeots.

[@letter1014]

Never had a problem with the steering wheel on the newer Peugeots.

[@thomasfarrell7911]

250 miles from a 44 kWh battery? No chance, that is 5.7 miles per kWh (or 9 kWh per 100 km) 😂 That's crazy even for the unrealistic exaggerations of "official" range

[@markfroggatt591]

I'm old enough to remember the original frontera and that was a terrible motor 😂😂

[@ViewBothSides]

Frickin bizarre this reviewer is comparing it to older Vauxhalls as if it has anything in common with those at all, and not mentioning it's the exact same car as the Citroen. I'm wondering if What Car will review the Citroen C3 and compare that to older Citroens, without mentioning this review?

[@surreyguysurrey4898]

You might want to actually watch this before commenting because he does

[@johnhodgson9296]

First the corsa is a rebadged 208 . Now this . Its as bad as the vw badge brigade. Skoda & seat suvs that look the same . Berlingos with god knows how many different badges on .

[@metavapour]

Unbelievable fumble. The car industry is so scuffed. Nobody buys Vauxhall for it's design. They're bought because they're cheaper. If they made the Frontera look like the new Toyota Land Cruiser or Suzuki Jimny, wait for it, but for less money, they wouldn't have been able to build them quickly enough. Instead, we get another bubble car. Also, I can't be the only person who thinks a white/grey headlining just looks less premium compared to a black one. Just put a black one on. Make it look more premium. How does this keep happening?

[@MrFlazz99]

Is something going to be done about the catastrophic wet-belt petrol engines? Ford and PSA/Stellantis - both bargepole jobs. Everybody now: "d-i-e-s-e-l that's the one for me" (but oops, sorry, Diesel ist verboten).

[@Djeseret]

But it is not in this car, it only comes with the new hybrid engine that has a chain.

[@wayneheyes4934]

WRONG THE C 3 AIRCROSS WILL ALSO HAVE PETROL

[@mjl5777]

who approved this

[@stefanfalldorf6573]

CUV or Crossover not SUV.

[@ISuperTed]

Just no. Another identikit Stellantis car, same battery, totally bland and boring. Massively over-priced (but no one pays anywhere near that price). They just seem to have totally run out of ideas and keep churning out boring clones now.

[@chasf3433]

Another EV with an uncomfortable rear seat for adults over 5ft 6. How did they get this so wrong? Perhaps better on the non EV versions

[@DeeCee-nb6ev]

Why would you buy this with the new Dacia Duster inbound? Should undercut the Frontera by a few thousand pounds at least. There will be a 4 x 4 option.

[@wayneheyes4934]

[@rosswhittleton6277]

As soon as electric was mentioned I'm gone.

[@brianiswrong]

Fancy spending millions designing a new car, only to make the rear seats un settable for actual adults,and not designing a place to store the parcel shelf.😊

[@officialTVS]

I dunno maybe it's because that's HOW IT IS DESIGNED? if you look at it's direct competitors (the small family car class, the VW Polo/SEAT Ibiza/Skoda Fabia as examples) and it's Stellantis Group siblings (the 208/2008, C3/C3 Aircross, and the Corsa as examples) they're DESIGNED to have small kids in the back the VAST majority of the time, as for the matter of the parcel shelf, the only real times it would be taken out would be for things such as tip runs

[@logiclee1]

@@officialTVS Polo/Fabia/Ibiza are small hatchbacks and still have more comfortable rear seats. The Frontera is supposed to be a small SUV Crossover. For small VAG crossovers built on the Polo/Fabia platform you are looking at T.Cross/Kamiq.

[@brianiswrong]

@@officialTVS maybe save your capitals for shouting when you have a valid point. It's a C segment car, way bigger than a polo or corsa that you name check, it has massive leg and head room, but the seat base angle is just silly, who at 6 ft or over (and you will fit in it easily) wants their knees touching there earlobes.

[@Djeseret]

Yes, but it is Peugeot that designs the basis of all bodies from Stellantis, and Peugeot has never in all its time managed to make a single good rear seat, they are completely incompetent for this task. Opel, on the other hand, was the master of comfortable rear seats but has been banned from making them, as Stellantis believes that Opel's design is too expensive and costs too much.

[@conradmilson6654]

Not sure using the same name is wise. The previous Frontera was an absolute disaster.

[@Brian-om2hh]

The old one was an outdated Isuzu cast-off.....

[@pokemonandfingerboarding7588]

Why bring back a name that’s so ridiculed?

[@Djeseret]

Because it isn't... Anyone who thinks so... hasn't kept up with what's happened in the last 20 years. Fronter a is now a much-loved classic and considered an absolutely fantastic all-terrain vehicle, highly appreciated by those who own one. Anyone who believes otherwise... is living on old... memories.

[@tristancollins3037]

Are we all so poor now these stallantis trash cars is all we can afford now?

[@nikospatsoumas6195]

Another awful SUV. Get them off our narrow UK roads.

[@lise1255]

It's not a real SUV. Just a tiny mini with same width as the old Corsa. (179 cm)

[@ISuperTed]

It’s a narrow hatch with some black plastic bumpers. Appalling attempt to milk some gullible souls out of their money. Probably the worst Stellantis car launched in the last 2 years and of course the press can’t say so as they wont be invited back.
