Opel Frontera 1998 vs Honda CR-V 1997
| Gearbox: | Manual | Manual | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 2.2 Diesel | 2.0 Petrol | |
| Diesel (Opel Frontera) engines typically outperform gasoline engines in terms of fuel efficiency and low-end torque. This makes them more economical and better suited for towing or long-distance travel. However, gasoline (Honda CR-V) engines mostly are lighter, quieter, and offer better acceleration and responsiveness, especially in smaller vehicles. For more information, see the article "Diesel or Petrol: Fuel Economy and Key Differences." | |||
| Camshaft drive: | Timing chain | Timing belt | |
| Engine chain usually needs to be replaced less often than the timing belt, but the cost of replacing the chain is usually higher. Chain motors are considered to be more reliable, but noisier and more vibration generating. | |||
Performance | |||
| Power: | 115 HP | 128 HP | |
| Torque: | 260 NM | 182 NM | |
| Acceleration 0-100 km/h: | 14.6 seconds | 10.5 seconds | |
|
Honda CR-V is a more dynamic driving. Opel Frontera engine produces 13 HP less power than Honda CR-V, but torque is 78 NM more than Honda CR-V. Due to the lower power, Opel Frontera reaches 100 km/h speed 4.1 seconds later. | |||
Fuel consumption | |||
| Fuel consumption (l/100km): | 8.7 | 10.1 | |
| Real fuel consumption: | 8.6 l/100km | 9.6 l/100km | |
|
The Opel Frontera is a better choice when it comes to fuel economy. By specification Opel Frontera consumes 1.4 litres less fuel per 100 km than the Honda CR-V, which means that by driving the Opel Frontera over 15,000 km in a year you can save 210 litres of fuel.

Drive type | |||
| Wheel drive type: | All wheel drive (AWD, 4x4) | 4x4 - AWD (all-wheel-drive) | |
Engines | |||
| Average engine lifespan: | 440'000 km | 480'000 km | |
| Engine resource depends largely on regular maintenance and the quality of the oils and fuels used, but under equal conditions the average life of a Honda CR-V engine could be longer. | |||
| Engine production duration: | 4 years | 7 years | |
| Engine spread: | Installed on at least 2 other car models, including Opel Omega, Opel Sintra | Used only for this car | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. | |||
| Hydraulic tappets: | yes | no | |
| The Opel Frontera engine has hydraulic tappets (lifters), providing quieter operation and no need for periodic adjustment, but they are more complex in design and can cause serious engine damage in case of failure. | |||
