In today's EV market, compact EV crossovers don't tend to go particularly far between charges - and this one's no different, particularly in its mainstream 44kWh form. But that might not be much of a concern with a trendy little SUV such as this Frontera Electric, likely to be used primarily as a second family car for shorter suburban trips.
It rides much better than the alternative Hybrid model and, remarkably, also costs considerably less, which is astonishing given just how much pricier EVs used to be than their combustion counterparts. Frontera customers might find the cabin a bit spartan and this Vauxhall lacks a bit of sparkle compared to its similarly-priced Citroen e-C3 Aircross Stellantis development cousin. But it handles slightly more sharply and you might get a better deal on one through Vauxhall's larger UK dealer network.
If that's on the table and you need a second car for suburban family duties, then yes, a Frontera Electric might suit. But for the future, cars like this need a little more pizazz and a lot more driving range. Still, they're getting more affordable, which can only be a good thing. Can't it?
