"But why?" is what I ask myself about a lot of cars. I admire your honesty.

[HologramJones]

No 4x4 means it's not a Frontera. That's an C3 Aircross which in itself is a city / family small SUV. It's unfortunate for Citroen to be part of the Stellantis group their designs are getting diluted into other things and overall diluted

[huracan]

The Frontera is supposed to be an off roader

I love the old fashion key. These modern keyless ignitions are shite!

[jamiep]

I enjoyed watching the Video. I like this more than the old one 😊

Looks great, hopefully get one in the future. Car snobs need not apply !

Uk full of terrace houses how do they really expect them to be charged regularly 🤦🏽‍♂️

[Missenden]

As an EV owner, from experience the only thing that matters is the battery range. '250 claimed miles' will probably be 200 real world.

Professionally presented review... really clear and entertaining at the same time.
Regards the car...love the design for its practicality .. but what are Vauxhall thinking of with their lack lustre power options.... how can they think a new electric car with just over 100hp is acceptable these days ?.

So, we can compare these 3 box shaped like cars:
1. Dacia Duster 2024- July
2. Citroen C3 aircross 2024- ??
3. Opel Frontera 2024- ??
Dacia will be first to market, but would be nice to test them all before any decision.

I can’t wait to watch you test drive it.

Just the new eC3 Citroen ..diferent face

[jamiep]

I particularly like the high hump when the seats are folded down

Dear AutoTrader.

I subscribed because of Rory. This lady is very good, but I want Rory.

Just thought you might want to know.

[SteerX_Cars]

Is this any how related to Citroen C3 aircross?

[CJ-wclf]

But it is brownish reddish orange...ugh. Hard to sell a color like that. My brother has a Honda Civic with that color in which the dealership slashed a huge amount off as one of the last ones (he may have said it was the very last one but cant remember) on the lot to make room for the new models. It was in the lot so long the dealership didn't care.

Looks a bit narrow. Is this supposed to compete with the Peugeot 2008 or 3008 class seeing as the new grandland is moving up to the 5008 class?

[adamtoms]

There is so much Citroen in this Vauxhall, by all means share the platform etc, but give us a different body, gives us something that looks a bit more rugged on the outside, like the original Frontera but with modern underpinnings. Other than the visor grille you can tell this one of those horrible air cross things a mile off.

It seems that Stellantis, under the "leadership" of Tavares, can use only 2 commands: control C & control V

[Nemoticon]

Boring, generic and extremely forgettable
