Verdict
SUV compact lancé en 2024, proposé en micro-hybride 48 V (1.2 PureTech 100 ou 136 ch, boîte robotisée à 6 rapports) et en électrique de 113 ch. Le coffre annoncé est de 457 litres. Le recul est court : aucun test Euro NCAP n'a été trouvé, et un rappel de la direction assistée (risque de court-circuit) vise les exemplaires produits entre le 11 mars et le 21 mai 2025. Vérifiez les rappels avec le numéro de série.

You are importing the car to:
Import penalty (malus) in France
- The CO₂ malus follows the scale of the year the vehicle was first registered, in France or abroad (WLTP or NEDC scale depending on its registration certificate).
- For an imported used car, it is reduced by a flat-rate discount based on its age in months (scheme in force since 1 March 2025). The weight malus also applies on first registration in France.
- The malus is zero for a car more than fifteen years old or first registered before 1 January 2015.

Check an imported car's history
HistoVec only covers the vehicle's life in France. For a car coming from abroad, a VIN-based report helps spot inconsistent mileage or a reported accident.

Known faults
Recent model: not enough hindsight yet (years, mileage) for faults to be publicly documented, so reliability is not rated. This is no guarantee: have the car checked all the more carefully before buying.
Manufacturer recalls
Manufacturer recall campaign, fixed free of charge at a dealer:
- Rappel : faisceau de la direction assistée électrique (risque de court-circuit) (Hybrid 100, Hybrid 136, Electric 113)
See the official list on RappelConso (new tab) (French government recall site: category “Automobiles et moyens de déplacement”, search “Opel Frontera”). A dealer for the brand can also check, using the vehicle identification number (VIN), that recalls have been carried out.
Recalls published in France (RappelConso)
- 8 May 2026 — En raison d'un défaut de l'unité de commande du moteur (onduleur) dans les véhicules équipés d'une transmission à double embrayage électrifiée (e-dct), des résidus de soudure métallique pourraient passer dans l'unité. Cela peut provoquer des courts-circuits électriques internes pouvant entraîner une alimentation électrique continue et une surchauffe due à un relais bloqué, provoquant un incendie. Official notice
- 27 March 2026 — Le harnais de direction électrique est acheminé entre deux vis, et de légères vibrations peuvent causer des dommages pendant les opérations de direction. Cela peut provoquer un court-circuit, entraînant une perte d'assistance à la direction assistée et/ou un incendie dans l'habitacle. Official notice
- 20 March 2026 — Le véhicule peut avoir un contact ou un dégagement insuffisant (< 10 mm) entre le tuyau du filtre à particules d'essence et le capuchon de protection du démarreur à bande 48 v. Dans des conditions humides, le dégagement insuffisant et le contact possible entre ces composants peuvent entraîner une infiltration d'eau, provoquant un arc électrique, qui pourrait déclencher un événement thermique, tel qu'une surchauffe, pouvant entraîner un incendie. Official notice
- 15 August 2025 — Le véhicule peut présenter une fuite de carburant dans le tuyau à haute pression, entre la pompe à haute pression et le rail, en raison de l'absence d'écrou. Cela peut provoquer un incendie dans le véhicule. Official notice

Inspection checklist
Opel Frontera III — inspection checklist
Things to check
- Faire vérifier chez un concessionnaire Opel, avec le numéro de série, les rappels déjà effectués (direction assistée sur les exemplaires de mars à mai 2025).
- Essayer la boîte robotisée e-DCS6 à froid : à-coups à basse vitesse, passages de rapports, démarrage en côte.
- Contrôler le fonctionnement de la direction et l'absence de message d'alerte sur le tableau de bord.
- Sur l'électrique, demander l'état de la batterie et tester la charge rapide (100 kW annoncés en courant continu).
- Exiger le carnet d'entretien et les factures : la voiture est récente et la garantie constructeur peut encore jouer.
Questions to ask the seller
- Le rappel de la direction assistée a-t-il été fait ? Avez-vous l'attestation du concessionnaire ?
- S'agit-il d'une ancienne voiture de société ou de location, et combien de propriétaires ?
- La garantie constructeur court-elle encore, et jusqu'à quelle date ?
Test-drive tip: read the fault codes
A warning light that is off proves nothing: a fault may have been cleared just before the viewing. A Bluetooth OBD2 scanner, plugged in under the steering wheel and read on your phone, shows stored codes and whether all emissions readiness tests have run since the last reset.

Compare prices of parts for the Opel Frontera III (timing, brakes, filters) to estimate the repairs to plan for.
Insure the car
Insurance prices vary widely from one model to another: get a quote before signing.
