2026 Opel Frontera : Engine
The 2026 Opel Frontera offers customers a choice of mild hybrid and full electric powertrains, both fully connected to an automatic transmission for a smooth drive. The mild hybrid uses a 1.2-liter 3-cylinder turbo gasoline engine with 48-volt technology. The system combines the engine with a 21 kW (28 hp) electric motor and an electric six-speed dual-clutch transmission. Frontera is available in two output versions: a basic 74 kW (100 hp) option and a more powerful 100 kW (136 hp). The mild hybrid setup allows the vehicle to drive on electric power alone for short distances, significantly reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions compared to conventional engines.
