OPEL REVEALS RUGGED FRONTERA GRAVEL SHOW CAR

The all-new Opel Frontera SUV is rugged, offers plenty of space, is electrified in every variant and is ideally equipped for the demands of everyday family life. Ahead of its much-anticipated arrival in Ireland later this year, Opel has now revealed the Frontera GRAVEL, a bold show car which demonstrates what a more adventure-ready variant of its new Frontera could look like. Rougher, tougher, and made for life beyond tarmac, the Frontera GRAVEL has been designed in Russelsheim and built in collaboration with motorsport tuning partners, Blackfish and XS.

Rebecca Reinermann, Vice President Marketing of Opel, said: "The new Opel Frontera is already standout. It is rugged, practical, and perfect for families and everyday adventures. But with the Frontera GRAVEL show car, we’ve pushed the limits, imagining a tougher, more daring, trailblazing version. This concept is built to fire up our fanbase and test the demand for a bolder, more rugged Frontera in the future. It’s all about freedom, adventure, excitement and pushing boundaries."

The Frontera GRAVEL is based on the all-electric production model of the new Frontera. Its low centre of gravity and strong torque make it perfectly suited for soft roading adventures. To match the tougher challenges of rougher gravel and stone surfaces, the Frontera GRAVEL stands on special, 7x16-inch CWE wheels from BORBET.

On the exterior, distinctive desert-stone colouring contrasts with its matte black roof and bonnet, evoking a sense of adventure and exploration. Orange accents on the exterior mirror housings, front and rear bumpers, spoiler and the Opel Blitz in the black Opel Vizor, complete the bold and eye-catching look.

The rugged look is further enhanced by a front-mounted winch and hook, side storage boxes at the rear, and a robust lattice-style roof rack, designed to maximise gear-carrying capacity for all adventures. Additional exterior spotlights are mounted on the Thule Canyon XT carrier and the bonnet, providing excellent visibility for night-time driving over rough terrain.

The bold yet rugged theme continues in the interior. Here, the XS specialists have introduced strong contrasts. The driver and front passenger can enjoy comfortable seats, trimmed in microfibre with bright orange highlights, while the headliner is completely black.

Opel and the XS team are presenting the unmistakable show car to the general public for the first time At the XS CARNIGHT Wörthersee, taking place from May 28 to June 1 around Klagenfurt, Austria.
