Summary
The Vauxhall Frontera Electric is a small SUV that sits between the Mokka Electric and Grandland Electric in Vauxhall’s model line-up. The Frontera range also includes a petrol mild-hybrid version, which we have covered on a separate page.
The Frontera Electric has been warmly received by the British motoring media, picking up widespread praise for its spacious and practical interior, and its outstanding value-for-money. In a UK first, this electric SUV has the same upfront cost as its petrol-powered counterpart.
“The Vauxhall Frontera Electric feels well judged”, says Top Gear’s Peter Rawlins. “It blends the company’s now familiar image with the kind of rugged looks people favour these days, and above all there’s no arguing with the cost.”
That said, the Frontera Electric has unsurprisingly received some of the same criticisms levelled at the petrol Frontera. Parker’s Ted Welford notes that there is noticeable wind and road noise in the cabin at speed, and that the interior “feels cheap”.
The car’s battery range is also bested by similarly-sized rivals in the small electric SUV class, and the seven-seat configuration offered in the petrol-mild hybrid range isn’t available in the Frontera Electric range.
The UK motoring media hasn’t published and UK road tests on the Vauxhall Frontera Electric just yet. Keep checking back in coming months as we continue to build this page with more information about the family-sized SUV.

Warranty rating
New car warranty information for the Vauxhall Frontera
| New car warranty duration | 3 years |
| New car warranty mileage | 60,000 miles |
| Battery warranty duration | 8 years |
| Battery warranty mileage | 100,000 miles |
Vauxhall’s new car warranty is lower than average, and worse than rival brands in a similar price bracket as the Frontera.
The duration is three years, with a limit of 60,000 miles, which is pretty basic cover. In addition to the standard new car warranty, the this electric version has an eight-year/100,000-mile warranty for the battery components.
If you are purchasing an ‘Approved Used’ Vauxhall Frontera Electric from an official Vauxhall dealership, you should get a minimum one-year warranty included. If you are buying a used Frontera from an independent dealership, any warranty offered will probably be managed by a third-party warranty company and the terms may vary. If you are buying a used Frontera from a private seller, there are no warranty protections beyond anything that may be left on the original new car warranty.
If you’re looking to buy a used car that is approaching the end of its warranty period, a used car warranty is usually a worthwhile investment. Check out The Car Expert’s guide to the best used car warranty providers, which will probably be cheaper than a warranty sold by a dealer.
