Similar Comparisons

Hyundai Bayon
Hyundai i20
VS
The Hyundai Bayon is the small crossover of the family — taller stance, higher driving position and a roomier boot for weekend kit, while the Hyundai i20 is the cheeky hatchback that feels nimbler, sharper and more engaging on twisty roads. Pick the Bayon for practicality and SUV vibes, pick the i20 if you want a livelier drive, easier parking and better value for everyday motoring.
Vauxhall Frontera
Vauxhall Grandland
VS
The Frontera feels like a bruiser from the analogue era — raw, rugged and surprisingly capable off-road, ideal if you crave adventure and don't mind a bit of mechanical charm. The Grandland, by contrast, is a slick, family-friendly crossover loaded with modern tech, efficient engines and a comfortable ride, so pick it if daily refinement and practicality top your list.
Vauxhall Frontera
Peugeot 2008
VS
If you want unashamedly rugged, the Opel Frontera still wears its rough‑and‑ready off‑road badge with chunky looks and simple, go‑anywhere mechanics, whereas the Peugeot 2008 plays the smarter, city‑first crossover with sleek styling and the tech you actually use every day. Pick the Frontera for honest durability and a sense of adventure; pick the 2008 for refinement, economy and an interior that feels a lot newer than its price tag suggests.
Jeep Avenger
Vauxhall Frontera
VS
The Jeep Avenger is a cheeky, compact crossover that dresses up like an off-roader but thrives in the city — zippy, efficient and ideal if you want Jeep styling without the gas-guzzling bravado. The Opel Frontera, by contrast, is a more grown-up SUV: roomier, practical and better suited to family trips or weekend escapes, so pick the Avenger for urban flair and the Frontera when you actually need space and versatility.
Hyundai Bayon
Hyundai Kona
VS
In the competitive subcompact SUV segment, the Hyundai Bayon and Hyundai Kona each offer distinct advantages tailored to different driver preferences. The Bayon impresses with its sleek urban design and efficient use of space, making it an ideal choice for city dwellers. Meanwhile, the Kona stands out with its sporty styling and dynamic performance, attracting those who crave a more adventurous driving experience.
Dacia Duster
Vauxhall Frontera
VS
The Dacia Duster is the sensible new-school pick — affordable, economical and surprisingly well packaged with modern safety and infotainment for the money; the Opel Frontera, meanwhile, is a proper old-school body-on-frame bruiser that still appeals to buyers who prize simple, rugged off-road ability and don’t mind rough edges. If you want a trouble-free everyday SUV that feels like a smart purchase, take the Duster; if you crave raw 4x4 character for weekend trails and enjoy tinkering, the Frontera is the charming, slightly dusty alternative.
Ford Puma
Vauxhall Frontera
VS
In the latest showdown between the Ford Puma and Opel Frontera, performance enthusiasts will find the Puma's sleek design and nimble handling a stark contrast to the Frontera's rugged off-road capabilities. While the Puma excels in urban agility and fuel efficiency, the Frontera stands out for its durability and versatility in challenging terrains. Ultimately, the choice between these two vehicles hinges on personal lifestyle needs, with the Puma appealing more to city drivers and the Frontera capturing the spirit of adventure seekers.
Nissan Qashqai
Vauxhall Frontera
VS
The Nissan Qashqai is the smart, urban-friendly crossover that blends a polished ride, modern safety kit and frugal engines, while the Opel Frontera answers with old-school toughness and off-road chops rather than plush refinement. Buy the Qashqai for daily comfort, low running costs and gadgetry; choose the Frontera only if you need a rugged weekend warrior and don’t mind sacrificing creature comforts.
